To Poultry Raisers.

Egg farming is a business and it
must be conducted as business. One
must take advantage of every possi-
BILE economy of labor and equipment
and seize every opening for added IN
come. Our poultry products are
concentrated and valuable and not ex-
tremely perishable if properly produc-
ed and handled. To anyone who has
given any time and study to the egg
situation it is very evident that the
farmers and producer can make more
money and make it more easily by at
tending to improve the quality OF the
egg than they can by attempting to
increase the number of eggs laid by
a flock of hens. In almost any mar
ket in tnis country the determining
factors which largely regulate the
price in nearly every case are size and
quality. By selection year by year 1t
is comparatively easy matter to de-
cidedly change color, shape and size
of eggs that hens lay. H. L. Fest,
who has had nine years of experience
in handling and marketing eggs on
quality basis, will address our meet
ing on this subject. We will have
egg testing demonstrated as it is done
in marketing eggs on quality basis.
On our visit to Fruitland and Weiser
this week we found that people who
have worked the poultry problem out
are well satisfied that it is paying
We invite all poultry
raisers to this meeting Saturday at

How Pheasants MultipIy.

The pheasant season closed Tues
day, and though many were bagged
during the two weeks allowed by law
to hunt them, their number has not
been perceptibly decreased. The Chin
ese pheasant is a great propagation,
annd it is predicted by many that the
birds will soon become a pest. Even
now they are a nuisance in some To-
calities. According to Ray Coon, the
present army which covers most of
the western states grew from IL birds
from China. Six of them
were turned loose in California and
six in Oregon. There are millions of
them in Idaho now.
