COLONEL FORT IS STAUNCH FRIEND
OF BIRDS AS WEEVIL ENEMY
Martins and Other Birds About the Farm Destroy Millions
of The Cotton Pests. One Of GGOFgiaS Foremost
Farmers Talks Interestingly On the WeeVi Problem


Col. John P. Fort, so well known in
Americas and throughout Georgia as
enc of the states most practical and
successful planters, has strong views
upon the subject of birds as the i'm
placable enemy of the boil weeyil. 1t
was Col. Fort who bored the first ar
tesian we'll in Georgia and thus dem
onstrated the availability of an mex
haustible supply of pure water at
the door of every farmer.
On his south Georgia farm, Col. Fort
has demonstrated that irrigation of
Georgia lands is possible. Down there
he has bored another artesian we'll
and built about it an immense reser-
voir, holding several million gallons
of water, by which means he can ir.
rigate a small truck and cotton farm
at his pleasure.
But to return to Col. Fort and the
birds and weevils, by whom he IS

Bronze turkeys do not mature as fast

POULTRY
POULTRY ON THE FARM
By Harry H. Collier.

The average farmer makes little out
of his poultry for the simple reason
he does not give them the care that
is necessary to success. There is a
reason for the lack of care that many
have not considered. The busy time
on the average farm is in the spring
of the year and that is the time when
one should be able to give poultry the
best of care.
Another reason for the lack of sue
cess is the fact that the average farm
er never sets an egg until some old
hen gets broody and for that reason
he never gets out the early pullet
that will return the quick profit. The
LATE Matched fowl is the one that
laws the following spring when every
other hen in the country is Smelling
ont their greatest number Of eggs.
The farmer carried these pullets
through the winter at costly outlay
for feed and he does not get an egg
when the prices are at their BEST Ii
the farmer would get an early start
each spring, hatch MS pullets In Feb
ruary and March, he could do 1T at
time when the weather is such that he
could do little outside on the farm.
By getting them out early he would
have pullets laying in October and
November when eggs are bringing
their best prices but in order to DO
that the farmer must hatch the early
chick with incubators. To put in an
incubator without having a decent
house in which to run would be use
less. If one would build house
where the temperature could he held
around rs degrees with no other heat
than that from the incubator, that
would make conditions that would
bring the 80 per cent hatch.
Brooding the early chicks is another
problem that must be looked into.
In order to make a success OF the
early brood one must have good
brood house in which to keep them.
He must have a brooder that will sue
cessfully keep the chicks at heat OF
90 degrees without going higher. The
farmer unlike the average fancler ana
his wife has no time to watch a
brooder. He should have a machine
that would regulate itself under any
and all conditions. Such brooders
are not cheap affairs but they can be
had if one will pay for them. With a
we'll regulated brooder and a good in
cubator, the farmer would be able to
compete for the winter egg trade but

make them pure bred Homers before
we make the claim as a breeder. In
the stock line we have a Shetland
pony and two grade Jersey COWS. We
are dickering for Jersey heifer that
must come from the purest of Jersey
blood. In pigs there are just one
Berkshire which we hope to increase
to many later on.
The ranch. [volume] (Seattle, Wash.) 1902-1914, 1914-06-01


habit of laying when eggs are cheap
est and not setting when one wants
early chicks, he will make failure OF
the poultry business every time.
The farmer should not keep any
thing but the best in poultry. The
farmer that breeds pure bred cattle,
thoroughbred horses and full blood
pigs, makes holy show of himself
with lot of scrub or dunghill chick
ems on the place. The man that has
pure breds from cats to horses is the
man that catches everyone who comes
on his place. If you see farm Gov
cred with pure breds in every line
you feel sure that the man behind
those pure breeds is on the farm for
the love of the work and that his
hobby is the best of everything.
Such men give you confidence the
minute you go on their place and If
you want to buy anything in the line
of stock, swine, cattle or fowls you
feel that you can safely entrust your
money with man with a farm of
pure breds.
Some farmers will build barn for
their stock that is better in looks and
in conveniences than the house he
gives his wife. You will find farmer
of this kind that will allow his hens
to roost anywhere they can find a
place under cover and 80 cases out of
100 he is the one that will say that
poultry does not pay. The progress
sive up date farmer is the man
that is using everything on the farm
to bring in an income. Poultry will
do as much as anything on the place
if the fowls are given half a chance
but they will not do we'll unless they
are we'll cared for.
The question of what is best for a
farmer in poulty is for him to settle.
1t is a matter OF choice after all.
Some farmers will have nothing on
their places but Holsteins, while 9th
ers favor Jersey cattle. They will
not give a Berkshire hog pen on
their farm yet have plenty of room
for Chester Whites or Poland China.
The question before the farmer is
what is best for his uses. The Leg
horn fowl as an all-around layer seems
to meet the bill when it comes to the
egg basket yet those who give care
and attention to Plymouth Rocks,
Rhode Island Reds and Wyandottes
sing their praises as egg basket filters.
The all-around fowl like the Plymouth
Rocks or Wyandottes seem to have
lot of admirers on the farm. These
hens produce fine broilers, good
roasters, good average layers and
what is fine thing for the average
farm, good mothers. The mother hen
on the farm is very valuable. The
farmer can set her, get her chicks up
to a couple of weeks old and then the
old hen can pick up the things that
would go to waste around the place.
These old mothers will raise their
youngsters about as cheap as they can
be produced.
Turkeys on the farm is what we
need here in Western Washington.
We do not raise near enough to meet
the demand and we should get busy

WELLESLEY ALUMNAE
 PLAN TO FORM CLUB
Mrs. Frederick A. Peitzsch Chosen Temporary Chair man of Proposed Organ ization.

 Temporary officers for the club have been chosen as follows: Chairman, Mrs. Frederick A Peitzsch; secretary, Miss Blanche Darling; treasurer, Miss Lucy Curtfss; treasurer of endowment fund, Miss Charlotte Smith of Strat- ford.
 The members are much eIated over the fact that they have practically cleared the $2O0 which they hoped to raise.
