supplying male birds at least to grade
up the so called breeding focks of the
district.
The other day l saw an advertising
(form letter from big Petaluma
hatchery. 1t begins thus: Don't
give up all hope of getting good
chicks from Petaluma. We--etc,
etc. 2" It's no longer a secret that all
is not we'll with the poultry raisers
down there and it's not to be wonder
ed at. With nearly every man there
handling more fowls than he could
properly care for-especially when
none of them had convenient up-to-
date equipment-there was bound to
be low production, low vitality and
profits SO low as to preclude the pur-
chase of better grade of stock land
so things naturally went from bad to
worse. With eighty three cents as
the usual price of full grown Leg
horn male breeding bird one could
hardly expect the Petaluma breeders
to maintain a very high standard of
excellence but one can understand
how chicks can be sold for eight
cents apiece at profit.

spite of the costly lessons, persist In
going to the same source for their
next seasons crop. L hardly can
imagine a sane person doing such a
thing twice, can you? But we don't
have to go very far to ascertain the
cause of this. It is the difference in
price! The factories have the bar
gain day every "a hours the chicks
are sold for seven or eight cents
each, which is really half Of the
price of a we'll Matched chick, one
that will live if given an opportunity.
The breeders, of course cannot
afford to sell chicks much lower than
twelve and half cents, as they
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1913-12-01

have to feed extra we'll for strong and
fertile eggs which means additional
expense and labor and cannot afford
to send out any old thing but good
and lively babies, unless they do not
care for the returns of the next sea-
son. The average man will not buy
from an individual breeder because
be is too high priced; but ii the
same man would consider the actual
saving on the investment on account
of small percentage OF mortality and
early maturity, he would try the spe-
cialist and, no doubt, come again In
another year. [ am not surprised a
bit that the chicks from the hatcher
les give such poor results; but how
can it be in any other way when
some of the manufacturers buy
their eggs anywhere they can and
then rush the hatch off probably two
days before the due time? The GUS
toner gets the chicks at seven cents
per head, without any outside signs
of baked yolks, but in few days
there is something wrong"
Mr.. Schroeder refers to a custom
of these chick ia tories of rushing the
hatch that is to say forcing incuba-
ton to it's conclusion in 10 or 20 days
by maintaining too high tempera-
ture in the machines. This saving OF
time enables them to empty the in
cubators, load up again and get start
ed again in q days-and even three
weeks-and this enables them to
bring Oft hatch the same day OF the
week throughout the Matching season.
Not all hatchers do this but a number
of the less scrupulous do, and it is
great convenience to them in their
business. This is but one OF many
good reasons for letting the factory
chick remain on the hands OF the
manufacturer.

the distinguished visitor. There was
an immense congregation that day in
the abbey and when the service was
over We stood up waiting long time
to pass out through the rails. But in
stead OF dispensing by the outer door
the people all turned eastward and
focked toward the altar, pressing
closer and closer UP to the sacrarium.
The chances of getting cut became
less and less, and turned to Tenny-
son and said; I don't know what all
this means, but we seem so hemmed
in that it is useless to move yet
Then a man standing by me whis-

MjlkweeJ Az a Food.

One of the economic triumphs Of the
age is the utilization of waste materiI
al. and the use Of weeds as food
staples is a phase Of this triumph.
The most interesting Of these new
weed foods" is milkweed. the COM
mon, wild variety, that grows In every
rocky pasture, in meadows, and by
roadsides in abundance. It's large,
thick, smooth leaves arc familiar to
all, and its deep, dull pink tuft of
flowers, and later its seed pods, filled
with delicate floss and fiat brown
seeds. When it is broken of, thick,
white, milky juice exudes. This is
rich in nutrition. This common and
luxuriant weed Is nos being Guilt
waited in gardens as valuable food
staple, and makes one of the most de-
licious of vegetables. 1t tastes almost
exactly like asparagus, and IL cooked
In much the same way as spinach. 1t

salts and nutrition, and Is easily cul
