DODGE AGENCY HERE
REPORT GOOD YEAR
ROSE.NEPPLE co. SELLS So
CARS, EIGHT MORE THAN
ITS CONTRACT.

Dodge Brothers touring cars were
delivered this week to Fred w. Con-
very of this city and L. R. Page OF
Union Mills. while a Dodge Brothers
commercial car was delivered to the
Star Laundry. the Rose-Nepple Auto
Co.. local agents, report.
The firm has a carload Of five
touring cars due to arrive Saturday,
all of which are sold, and another
carload is on the road and scheduled
to reach the city about week later.
Until the latter shipment arrives, the
company will be Cleaned" OF Dodge
Brothers cars, not having even
demonstration.
The company began new contract
wear July / and reports that with the
delivery of the carload expected this
week and two roadsters it is to re-
ceive out of shipment due to reach
the Everett dealer in a few days,
there will be approximately 100
Dodge Brothers cars in Thurston
county. OF this total, So were sold
during the year ended last Saturday,
though the firms contract with the
factory for the period called for only
As machines.
The fact that they were able to
get eight more cars than they had
contracted for convinces the Rose
Nepple company that an agency that
sells cars can get them from the rae
tory. when operating under the sys-
tenn enforced by Dodge Brothers
which compels dealers to contract Tor
q wear ahead the number Of cars they
want and to specify the number 10 oe
shipped each month and which en-
abies the agency to deal directly with
the factory.

INCREASING POULTRY PRODUCTS
IN THE UNITED STATES.

The statement made at the recent
agricultural conference at st. Louis
that the poultry products Of the
United States could be doubled with
in a year means that If everybody In
a position to help did their part six
hundred million dollars worth OF food
would be added to our supply this
year.
This includes both meat for the
table and eggs. Very few farmers
practice a systematic plan Of dispos-
ing of their fowls after they have
ceased to be productive although 1t
is we'll known that fowls of the
heavier breeds, such as the Plymouth
Rocks, cease to produce profitable
number of eggs at the end OF their
second laying year, and that this holds
true to lighter breeds, such as the
Leghorns, at the end of their third
laying year. Consequently, il efforts
were made to dispose of all females
when their best laying days were over
a large quantity Of poultry meat
would be placed on the market. All
poorly developed chickens should
likewise be culled out and used as
meat This way of disposing Of un-
profitable fowls would allow the
farmer to feed his grain to younger
and more productive fowls.
Caponizing the cockerels that are
not intended for breeding purposes
will not only increase their size but
will place a more desirable poultry
meat on the market. Another prac-
tice that should be adopted more
widely is that of fattening all chick
ems that are to be marketed before
they leave the farm. This can be
done easily by combining the birds
for week or ten days and feeding
them a good fattening ration. They

will come to market then in better
condition and the farmer will re-
ceive profit for their added weight.
The greater production Of turkeys,
ducks, geese, and guineas, all of
which can be profitably raised and a
ready market found in most sections,
would increase the supply of poul-
try meat considerably. The produc-
ton of ducks especially should be
emphasized at this time, because of
the rapidity with which they grow.
Ducks of most OF the meat breeds,
properly fed and managed, frequently
weigh from five to six pounds at ten
weeks of age. It is estimated by
poultrymen making a speciality Of
growing ducks that the feed cost per
pound Of producing duck meat ranges
from 8 to IL cents, depending upon
the current prices of grain and other
feeds.
The number Of marketable eggs
can be increased by following q few
we'll known practices. The most
important of these are the pro-
duction Of the infertile egg after the
breeding season is over, and the
proper handling Of eggs by the farm
er before sending them to the market.
The infertile egg is obtained when
all male birds are removed from the
flock. This does not decrease the
number of eggs produced, but 1t does
increase greatly their keeping quail
ties. The production of the infertile
egg and the proper handling and
marketing of eggs by the producer
would increase Tremendously the
number of marketable eggs each
year by diminishing the quantity that
are rendered UNIT for food.
An increased production of ducks
eggs is advisable where available
markets are found.
The poultry house should be clean
and sanitary and the fouls free from
insect pests, thereby preventing dis
ease and mortality. It is estimated
that nearly 100000 worth Of poul-
try is lost each year through disease
alone. Special attention should be
given to the feeding and housing OF
laying fouls at seasons Of the year
when their natural source of food
supply Is cut OF.
Although the Matching season
proper should be considered at IN
end by May /, it may be feasible in
some sections of the northern and
northwestern part Of this country to
continue. Matching until the first of
June. Chicks Matched at that time,
with proper feed and management,
will frequently begin laying in jan
uary OF the following year. The
maturity Of fouls Matched late can
be greatly increased If the mother
hens are confined until the chicks
are weaned. In this way feed that
is furnished the chicks produces
growth, instead of energy to follow
the mother. Extra precautions should
be taken in the late spring and early
summer to keep the young birds free
from lice and disease, both of which
cause thousands to die every year.
More general use of the incubator
and brooder will increase consider
ably the output of chickens, and con-
sequently the number of layers the
following year.
The U. S. department Of Agricul-
ture Snd the several State agricul-
tural colleges will be glad to supply
helpful information to anyone in
terested in raising poultry on a large
