WOMAN TELLS OF NAMING
OF JOSEPHINE COUNTY

The following interesting letter
bearing upon the early history of
southern Oregon, and biographical of
Josephine Rollins, the first white
woman in the district, after whom
Josephine county was named, was
written by Mrs. Virginia Josephine
Rollins ort to Geo. H. Parker OF this
city:

pleased to answer your queries to
the best of my ability, and under

kindly return photo when through.
Also would be pleased to have you
send me a copy of the following
sketch, if you see fit to print all or
part of same.
l was born in Morgan county, Il
linois, in 1888. My parents, LLOYD
and Katherine Rollins, were natives
of Kentucky. They moved to Illinois,
then to Clark county, Missouri in
the spring Of 1884, and lived there
continuously until 1850, in which
year, on the Sth of May, my father
and |, together with some neighbors,
started for California, overland with
OK teams, our objective point being
Sacramento. But upon reaching the
great Humboldt desert the weakened
condition of our teams induced my
father to change to the Fort Hall
route to Oregon. Reaching there
the latter part of October, we win
tered within a few miles of Oregon
City.
The following spring my father
outfitted another team and we start
ed south for the mines in California.
On reaching the Rogue river the In
dians told us of very rich mines a
few days travel drawn the river. At
this time the United States had Just
formed treaty with Chief Joseph of
the Rogue River Indians, and it was
considered perfectly safe to travel
among them. Here our company di-

there on what was supposed to be

until about the middle of August,
when the Indians plotted to capture
us all. The plot was betrayed to us
by a tame Indian boy belonging to
the company who played with the
other Indian boys that informed him
of the intended raid and time. Late
one afternoon a messenger was sent
down to the camp at the mines for
all to assemble at the wagons to
resist an attack that night, every
thing being left in camp but the fire
arms. The attack occurred next
morning just before day break, when
our company killed three of the In
dians and they withdrew, without
any of our company being killed or
injured. Knowing the Indians were
again on the warpath, a mounted |
company of volunteers coming from |

longer. I was the only woman in the

MATCHING AND BRooDINo.
BY KathrIne Atherton Grimes.

The boy with ten to twenty fowls
will probably do most of his Matching
with hens. But where the breed kept
is Of some non-sitting variety, the in
cubator becomes almost necessity,
especially if one wishes to get early
chicks-the only ones that pay we'll
For a flock of this size, a 50-eggs
machine is plenty large enough, and,
as these may be had at quite small
cost, at is about as well to use one
Of these, and let the hens go on sit
ting. The eggs they will lay while
1t is doing their Matching for them will
soon pay for the machine.
II an incubator is not used, the best
plan Is to get hold Of some-two-year-
old hens, of one Of, the large, quiet
broods, and keep them Just for sit
ting. II they are fed for eggs from
November on. they will be ready for
business by March. Even with
machine, half dozen hens of this
kind will prove good investment, for
reasons which you will see little
farther on. They may be disposed of
as soon as their work is done, so one
need not be out much except their
feed to secure their services during
the Matching season..
Those who have had considerable ex-
perience with incubators tell US that
hen-hatched chicks are usually the
most vigorous Even the best incuba-
tor is likely to turn out few weakly
or crippled chicks with each hatch.
But the machine is far more likely
than the hen to behave we'll at the
critical time when the fluffy babies are
coming out Of the shell, SO, as the say
ing is, it is about six Of one, and half
a dozen of the other"
A system that makes out to take
advantage Of the good points and
avoid the worst drawbacks OF both,
has been devised. and carried out with
good results. The plan is to put the
eggs under the hens for the first two
weeks, and then remove them to the |
incubator. and let It finish up the |

be provided and suitable runways and
food. AS soon as the chicks arrive
they must be taken from the crate one
at time. their bills dipped in water
and then put Immediately into a
warm brooder. II they are 4S hours
old they should be fed with hard boil
ed egg and dry bread crumbs, but care
must be taken not to give them sloppy
food or to overfeed at any time, they
must have plenty Of fresh water and
their runways and brooders must be
kept clean and dry.
On the other hand, II one is in the
poultry business for keeps there is a
good profit in selling baby chicks.
With two or three good incubators one
may hatch and sell several thousand
IN a season with much less labor than
to raise them to maturity, and with
good profit There is but little risk In
shipping chicks. They have been
known to have been shipped 1000
miles and to have arrived at their des-
tination none the worse for their jour
ney.
In March, April and May the supply
Of day old chicks never quite equals
the demand, and in July and August
the business is fairly good. In Sep
TENDER and October 1t again increases,
but later than this we would not ad-
wise shipping them, as the risk from
cold is too great In northern states.
In raising chicks to be shipped great
care should be taken to keep the
breeding stock strong and vigorous.
They should be given plenty Of fresh
air and exercise and their food should
be such as will produce bone and mus
Gle instead Of fat. Run down stock
always produce weak chicks, and weak
chicks are an improbable investment
both to buyer and seller. 1t is not
advisable to buy eggs from hatchers
who have mixed breeds and sell
named chicks.
A good crate for shipping chicks
may be made of a shallow box five
inches deep by ~ wide and 80 long.
Some chaffsor sawdust may be put in
the bottom and the crate lined with
burlap or some coarse meshed mate
rial to give the little fellows a foot
hold.

THE DAY OLD CHICK INDUSTRY.
Rx Ellzabeth CLARK Hardy.

i
There is good money in the day old
chick Industry, both to the buyer and
the seller. In going into the poultry
business the first lesson for the anna
teur tc learn is to make haste slowly,
instead of investing too much money
in an untried industry. A woman may
raise few hundred chickens on a
small lot, without investing in an in
cubator and high priced eggs. 1t will
be much cheaper for her to buy day
old chicks, and in caring for them she
will learn some valuable lessons, and
gain fair working knowledge Of
poultry business. In the spring there
will always be found advertisements
in the agricultural papers for the sale
of baby chickens, and these may be
bought with but little risk to the pur-
chaser for If aBY should die during
transportation the seller will always
replace them free of cost.
The price of day old chicks range
from 4 to 20 cents, according to the
breed. 1t is not advisable to buy the
cheapest grade as they usually come
from weak parent stock, and inferior
chicks are improbable to raise wheth-
er they come from the hatcheries or
are Matched at home. But 1t Is much
safer and cheaper to buy day old
chicks from reliable dealer than to
buy eggs for Matching, as In buying
chicks you get guarantee of safe ar
rival and full count. while In buying
eggs you have to take your chances,
and sometimes they are disappoint-
ing.
In starting in with day old chicks
one must, Of course. understand some
thing about their care and feeding or
things will go wrong. but until one
has had some experience with an in
cubator things are likely to go
wrong which is still more expensive,
and chick in the hand is worth two
eggs in the incubator.
OF course when chicks have been
ordered preparation for their care
must be made. Warm brooders must

1t is not absolutely necessary tC
test the eggs, but it is best to do SO
| usually test eggs after the morning
OF the eighteenth day. The chick is
full formed by this time; the eggs do
not need turning.
DO not open the egg chamber after
the chicks begin to pip the she'll. This
rule is not invariable, but the only ex-
ception is to take out the chicks when
very good hatch is secured and
they crowd to the light in the door.
Then open the door. roll the chicks
out into basket and close the door
as soon as possible.
Don't try to help a chick out Of the
she'll. II 1t cannot get out without
help 1t is not worth saving.
Don't worry II the chicks gasp and
struggle for breath. This Is natures
way of opening up the lungs and CIV
ing the chickens strength.
Don't worry about the machine. If
the temperature the first week is be-
tween 101 and 103 degrees 1t is good
enough! only try to keep 1t about 1903
1t will not hurt anything If the tenn
perature happens to run down to IS
degrees some night.
Don't be alarmed If the tempera-
ture gets UP to as high as los degrees
for an hour or so. Simply take the
eggs out and let them cool and change
the regulator little. If very good
hatch is coming off the temperature
will rise the last week.
In warm weather l have often taken
the lamp away from the machine dur
ing the middle Of the day. At this
time the animal heat Of the chicks
tends to Increase the temperature and
1O4 degrees is common
Be sure to get perfectly fresh eggs
from healthy hens. Use only the best
grade of oil. Fill and trim the lamp
in the afternoon rather than in the
morning and do this every day.
Do not trim the lamp wick with
scissors, but gently rub the charred
part off SO as to give an even, broad
fame.
If these directions are followed a
good hatch may be anticipated. They
are based on an experience reaching
back to about 1884.
