It is stated that the Strand and He'd animony mine will be operated during the winter and a large quantity of the ore will be piled up ready for
 shipment on the first boats in the spring. Samples taken from the mine recently indicate that the mineral con- tent of the ore is considerably greater than was obtained in the earlier workings. Some of the specimens ap- pear almost pure antimony, notably one that was displayed at the Darling and Dean store which appears to be all metal The unexpected boom in antimony has resulted in the locating of several lodges during the past month or so and the onwers of nearly all properties containing the are preparing to do develop ment work with a view to making shipments on the opening of naviga- tion.

fowls produce eggs more freely than
those which are not so strong and
hens in this country lay much more
freely than they do in the eastern
states where l have bred poultry.
This may be accounted for by the
fact that the elevation is that which
is natural to our domestic fowls. The
chickens that run about the ranches
of Idaho have royal pedigree if we
could but trace it carefully and we
know enough to know that the do
nestle fowl is descended from the
Jungle cock of the highlands of In
dia, having been brought out of that
country at the time the Aryans be-
gan to "go west" in the ages before
history began. This country at the
foot of the Himalaya Mountains is an
elevated one where the air is pure
and germs do not flourish, and when
in the course of the ages the descend
ants of these primal f1ocks reached
the elevated plains of the so-called
Snake River Desert" they found a
climate that was congenial and cal
culated to give renewed vigor.
Another thing that is favorable to
poultry breeding on the North Side
is the meteorological conditions
Fowls chickens-are no friends to
damp climate, although they can
be produced in such climates after
they have been acclimated by living
in such a place a few generations
However the fowls produced in damp
climates are always subject to GER
tain germ diseases which never trou-
Bile them here. For this reason we
on the North Side tract are absolute
ly exempt from losses by diseases
that carry off millions of young
chicks in the eastern states, and in

POULTRY BREEDING ON THE
NORTH SIDE TRACT.
BY MILLER PURVIS.

About five years ago when 1 was
preparing to come to Idaho to live, if
l liked the country, 1 brought with
me two different breeds of purebred
fowls and arranged to have others
sent to my order, after l had estab-
lished myself For nearly twenty
years before that time 1 had been
editing poultry magazines, had been
closely identified with the American
Poultry Association and, in the
course of my editorial duties had ira
versed the whole of the United States
except Idaho, Washington, Oregon,
Montana, Arizona and New Mexico,
not once but many times, travelling
from Maine to California and from
the Dakotas to the Gulf, attending
poultry conventions, visiting poultry
plants and in every possible way ia
miliarizing myself with every phase
of the poultry industry in this coun-
try. Poultry breeding had for so
many years been the dominant inter
est with me that l was well convinced
that 1 could never feel perfectly at
home unless l was surrounded by
fine fowls. I had no notion of what
kind of poultry could be found in this
part of the Union, therefore 1 ar
ranged to secure good birds from
strains with which l was well &C
quainted, as well as bringing two of
my favorite breeds with me. or the
two breeds I brought with me still
keep one which is not generally
kept in this part Of the country.
Lincoln County times. (Jerome, Idaho) 1911-1919, 1915-02-18

have bought in the east the founda-
ton of flock of another breed and
one of the breeds l brought with me
have discarded buying stock of the
same breed from Western breeders
because this stock was superior to
any that l knew of in any other part
of the country. l now have ten diff
ferent varieties, of which eight is
from Western stock, because l soon
found that it was not necessary to
send east for the very best of any
variety of fowls that 1 might want.
Not only this, but since 1 have got
my poultry business established l
have convinced eastern breeders that
our North Side stock is so superior
to their own that my largest sales
are east of the Rocky Mountains and
several of my customers have re-
ported that they have won the high
est prizes with the stock they bought
state west of the Mississippi river as
we'll as in Illinois, Indiana, Ohio
Kentucky and Louisiana, and fol-
three years have not been able tc
raise as many fowls as l could sell
selling in numerous instances every
bird several of my neighbors had t.
spare because l knew how they were
bred and that the stock was as gooC
as my own.
1 am giving this personal informa
ton to prove that the North Side il
a pretty good place to raise poultr,
for breeding purposes. My expert
ence as poultry breeded on tn
North Side tract has taught me tina
it is the ideal place in which to pro
duce fowls that are healthy and il
every way vigorous. Naturally sue

our fowls never drink stagnant and
poisonous water. With a minimum
of attention young poultry grows
rapidly and constantly and natures
at an early age.
The market is as good at any time
of the year as it is in any part of
the country and better most of the
time. l have heard complaints of
low prices during the summer sea-
son but | have never seen the time
in Idaho, winter or summer, when
my poultry yards did not yield a
profit every month in the year and /
know what l am talking about as |
charge my fowls with everything that
is bought for them and credit them
with every cent that is received from
them.
The present high price of feed does
not brighten me at all. In fact the
feed problem is the easiest one that
the Idaho poultry keeper has to
solve for we can produce in abund-
ohNC Cfci tndl 10 HtCtSSdTy lOI
our fowls. We can raise large crops
of corn, wheat, oats, barley and al
falfa. The reader may think that al
falfa is not very good poultry feed
but l know it is and my hens get al
falfa hay by the forkful, eagerly eat
ing every leaf and all the small
stems. When we get alfalfa meal
mills on this tract it will not be ne
cessary. for us to buy bran and shorts
except as a medium to hold the meal
together when we feed mashes, as the
alfalfa meal is as valuable as bran
for feeding purposes. Those who
keep cows and sell cream have In the
skim milk most valuable poultry
feed. l do not know of anything that
will promote egg production better

than milk, sweet, sour or buttermilk.
Every indication points to higher
prices for eggs and market poultry
in the future. A pound of poultry
can be produced at rather less cost
than pound of pork and there never
has been a time when pound for
pound the poultry would not bring
the highest price. If we can raise
hogs at a profit on the North Side
tract we can raise fowls at larger
profit.
We are not getting the best prices
for poultry on the North Side just
now because there is not enough pro-
duced to command these prices. AS
soon as a poultry buyer can come
into our country and buy a carload of
fowls we will get just about double
what we are now getting. | had an
offer last winter from a packing firm
in Seattle to which l sent a consign-
nent of fowls which would have
made the price of live chickens at
least IA cents per pound, if l could
have found a carload to ship at one
time. AS it was / sold live fowls in
Seattle at price that netted nearly
IL cents per pound after paying ex-
press charges which are 500 per cent
higher than the cost of carload ship
ments.
The Northwestern states buy east
of the Rocky Mountains every wear
more poultry and eggs than are pro-
duced in these states. If Missouri
Kansas and Nebraska poultry keep.
ers can afford to send their poultry
yard products to the Coast, paying
the high transportation charges. we
here on the North Side can certainl,
make twice as much as they do b,
supplying the home demand.
l have been breeding purebre,
poultry almost constantly for NOR,
than "a years and | can truthful,
say that I have never had as it'll,
trouble with disease, as little troubl,
with climatic conditions, as l hav,
had in Idaho. Neither have | ever re
ceived as high average prices as
have here for the products of m,
poultry yards. All we need to max,
the North Side tract the poultry cen
ter of the Northwest is better pouI
ry and more of 1t.
