By Mabel Abbott

Have you ever yearned to cave
the rush of city life ana retire to
the peace and independence OF a
poultry farm?
And have you been scared out
of the idea by the positive state
ment of everybody to whom YOU
communicated your plans, That
its" impossible to make the
poultry business pay unless you
can raise your own feed?"
II so, listen to the statement of
b. b. Sampson, of Vaughn. who
keeps an average of 500 hens on
an acre and a quarter OF and.
buys absolutely everything but
his green feed, and clears more
than $1,000 a year.
Far be IL from me to start
a stampede into tho poultry
business, which has rewards,
apparently, for only u few
but facts are facts.
Mr.. Sampson devotes himself
entirely to the egg production end
of the poultry business. He does
not hatch any eggs, but buys day
old chicks. He sells the cockerels
and such hens and pullets as are
not profitable layers.
Began With 800 Hens.
He began three years ago, with
500 hens, and cleared s1,316 in
the first years work. His pullets
earned $2.45 apiece for him.
This year feed is higher, and
his profit was exactly $1,300.96,
though he has more hens.
How do you do it," | asked
him the other day. Everybody
says it can't be done"
Mr.. Sampson, in overalls,
jumper and rubber boots. just as
he works every day in his hem
houses. laughed.

2 FIRED;
DRAKE IS
ACCUSED

NJ c. Mcmillan and H. A. Boe-
decker, gatekeeper and watch
man, respectively, at the Munich
pal power plant on Nisqually riv-
er, who were discharged Friday
afternoon, lost their jobs because
they were supplying City Attorney
Harmon with Information to be
used in the coming impeachment
trial of Commissioner Drake.
This charge was made today hy
Mcmillan, who has been a trust
ed employe at the power plant
ever since the hydro-electric ma
chinery first began turning ever.
Mcmillan declared, through his
attorney, II. H.,Johnston, that he
had been approached by the city
attorney and by Investigator Tay-
lor of the city attorneys office,
and had answered questions pro-
pounded to him. He did not VOL

Il built my hen houses and a
good brooder with a distillate
burner and thermostat to regu-
late the temperature. There's no
use going into the business with
out getting ready first.
Il keep everything absolutely
clean.
Many Others Now.
I'VE have a special formula for
feeding the first week, another
for the second, and so on. We
feed great deal of sour milk.
We buy that, too. In fact, we
buy literally everything but our
green stuff.
I'VE keep exact account of ev-
erythIng.
And we never keep a bird
that doesn't pay"
Mr.. Sampson was the first In
his neighborhood to begin poul-
try and egg raising on so bust
ness-like a scale. But others are
making a success now.
Within a small radius there is
the Kingsbury farm, which this
year has LOO pullets, the Kim
caid ranch, which does its own
Matching. The Tunison ranch at
Rocky Point, and Others.
Call Cohn Egg King"
ALL up and down the peninsula
new poultry ranches are being
started and the old ones are ex-
tending their plants. Poultry and
eggs have become the principal
industry of the region west of
Henderson's Bay.
In the height of the spring sea-
son, Mr.. Sampson says, 80 cases
of eggs a week went out over
the wharf at Vaughn.
Abe Cohn, manager of the Joe's
Bay Trading Co., says he shipped
12l cases week during the zane
period from the region around
Home. Seattle and Tacoma deal
ers dubbed him the Egg King"
The output Is smaller at this
time of year, but Alaska is taking
large quantities. Last week $
shipments of eggs and poultry
from Home amounted to $1,135.
Get ready for It, and
make a business of it," says
MIR. Sampson, "a'nd the poul-
try business will pay well
enough"
