WHAT DOES 1T MEAN?

The poultry season is practically
over, and the records of the various
poultry shows indicate that Thurs
ton county breeders went into all
kinds of competition and came off
with colors flying. Poultrymen from
this county entered birds at Gray's
Harbor, Portland, Tacoma, Seattle
and San Francisco and in every in
stance got much more than their
share of the premiums. What does
it all mean? 1t means that Thurston
county has the right kind of breed
ers, the right kind of stock and the
right kind of conditions for producing
the very best poultry to be had. It
means more than that. 1t means
that the beginning has been made,
the pioneering done and that we are
overlooking a bet If we don't get
busy and produce more and better
poultry.
We believe, too, that poultrymen
in these parts are waking up to their
possibilities. The Poultry Associa-
ton has more interested members
than it has ever had in it's history.
It held the best show in many years
and, according to all reports, more
people viewed the exhibit than at any
other two shows. What is more to
the point, many visitors bought stock,
many more talked good chickens,
and on every side we heard practical
commonsense talk about the chicken
business. All of this means that
farmers and small space poultrymen
are getting down to brass tacks and
have the right thing in mind, to
make haste slowly but to make prog
ress in any event.
There is just one other point that
we'd like to mention while we are
talking about the lessons learned
from the show season, and it is this:
When the judges faced the birds in
the something like five miles of
coops at the great Panama-Pacific
worlds poultry show the last of No
vember there were birds represent
ing almost every state in the Union,
and when the ribbons were all hung
we find that practically two-thirds of
them went to Pacific Coast birds.
There's big lesson here for those
who have been sending their good
money lover the hills and far away"
to Eastern breeders for stock and
eggs and too often poor stock and
eggs at that. Anyone who makes in

ance fund. They began to berate the
state board of accountancy but
stopped when they found that the
governor was not responsible for
their appointment. We presume it is
not the fault of the board of &C
countancy, the governor or any other
Official about the statehouse that
these officials went wrong. With SO
many appointments the wonder is
that more do not go wrong and
speaks pretty well for our citizen
ship. 1t is difficult to pick up men
here and there about the state and
not get bad one in the bunch. The
Savior picked twelve and one proved
false.

qulrles can satisfy himself that a
great many high priced birds from
the East have been walloped by birds
bred right here in Washington and
sold for less than half what the East
ern breeder got. We happen to have
in mind one Eastern breeder whom
we know sold $40 worth of $1O-a-
setting eggs to two Thurston county
poultrymen last season (who didn't
get bird worth entering in a show
and that same Eastern breeder was
trounced numerically at Frisco by
Coast breeders who sell their best for

chantment to the view," byt it's poor
business to hand over too much good
money to our Eastern friends and the
express companies.

Plan Seasons Work,

The Matching season is not far off.
1t is time for you to lay your plans
for the seasons work, and while you
are doing it just keep two or three
things in mind. First, it's the early
pullet that lays the winter eggs. Get
them out early, but don't get excited
and get them out too early. Remem-
Der that cost of rearing means some
thing and that too early Matching
means additional cost because fertil-
ity is low, feed and care costs more
during cold weather and it requires
better housing and mortality is
usually greater. Be reasonable.
Second, it will pay you to be
mighty careful, of your breeding
stock. Gull closely. Better set eggs
from two or three or a dozen of the
best you have on the place than to
use lot of breeders that you know
down in your heart are below the
standard that you ought to use if you
expect to improve the flock. Great
strains have been established by
breeding a single exceptional pair.
In selecting your breeders, keep in
mind the necessity for vitality. Look
for bright eyes, red combs and good
carriage. Pick out the hustlers,
those that are up and coming.
Third, remember that care is es-
sential to productivity and vigor.
Your fowls must be properly housed,
fed. watered and exercised If they are
to give you the best they have. No
mind you; just good COM
treatment. Keep these
things in mind and you can't 60 very
far wrong.

Not Like Other Years,

(Anaconda, Mont, Standard.)
The announcement of the raising
of the wages of 100000 employees of
steel mills of the United States Steel
Corporation, the advance in wages to
take effect February l, is most well
come. A few days ago announce
ment was made that the wages of
10000 of employees of cotton mills
in New England had been raised.
The strongest argument for pOliti-
cal party in power is good times. 1t
used to be the regular thing, in the
long stretch of Republican rule, for
manufacturers and mill owners to
coerce their employees into voting the
Republican ticket by partial shut
down or reduction of wages just
before election with the dissemina-
ton of the information that if the
Republicans won in the country,
work on full time would be resumed
and full wages restored. Or there
would be the threat of a shutdown
or a reduction in wages in case the
Democrats won. That proved pref
ty effective argument in the carrying
of many elections. This is the year
of presidential election and in the
first month of the year the wages of
employees of cotton and steel mills
are being raised. The Republican
leaders will find it hard matter to
convince the men whose wages have
been raised that they are not doing
we'll and that this talk of prosperity
is all a dream.

Getting Together.
(Skagit Co. Times.)

(Skagit Co. Times.)
The standpatters and the progress
sives of the Republican faith are Sc
riously having lot of fun with each
other, and neither of them seems to
know whether the other is in earnest
or not. To the men who have been
nurtured on dainties four years are
a long time to be without pie, and of
course, to ease their appetites, there
are some progressives who, on a
long chance, would take a chance
with even as great an improbability
as Taft, and some (few) standpat-
tiers who would take a short chance
with as great an impossibility as
Teddy. Both sides are as busy now
as a small boy blindly twisting a
forked stick into the tail of rabbit
up a hollow tree; and both are very
much in doubt as TO whether their
tail hold is strong enough to draw
the animal out. The final pull is yet
to come-and both are sure they are
going to get & part of the hide wheth-
or they get the meat out of the hole
or not. At the same time each fears
that he may only and finally extract
a skunk and get only the extract
and that does not spell pie.
