AUGUSTA NEEDS NEWCOMERS.
Power spells population. Augusta now has the pow
er—she needs newcomer^—sho needs population to make
use of that power in tho future growth of the city.
Newcomers all from the eastern Beas,
Help us incarnate dreams like these.
Forget, find forgive, that we did you wrong,
Help us to father a nation, strong,
In the comradeship of an equal birth,
In the wealth of the richest bloods of earth.
SAVINO ONE’S LIFE.
For whosoever will save his life shall lose it.-—Mark
viii, 38.
This Is one of the eternal paradoxes, by
phophets and verified by human experience. The man
who is always thinking about himsolf defeats his own
ambitions.
The principle holds good all along the line of human
activity. A person must be absorbed in what he is doing
if he is to get the best results.
RAISE CHICKENS AND REDUCE THE COST OF LIVING.
Beginning in 1894, Tom Barron of England, with
twenty fowl, has bred a strain of egg-laying birds which
is world famous and whose blood has enriched thousands
of flocks in Great Britain, the United States, Australia
and the islands of the Bea. His birdß have won their
weight in trophies and robbons—but for Just one thing,
egg procjuction. While they are handsome enough, they
are bred, not for feathers, but for eggs; and by that
standard they are supreme.
Sinoe the time, far remote in antiquity, when the
wilcy jungle fowl of Asia was domesticated, the ingen
uity of man has evolved from it numerous breeds and va
rieties, differing in site, shape, plumage and other char
acteristics; and during the last forty years the patient ef
forts of fanciers have accentuated and refined these varia
tions to an astonishing degree. So minute are the re
quirements of the “standard of perfection” that a speck
of misplaced color or an extra fraction of an inch on a
comb is enough to disqualify a contending bird in ex
hibition.
This exactitude, of oonrse, is admirable, for it has
resulted in establishing purity of the various breeds and va
rieties and stimulating effort to maintain it. But, after
all, the hen’s real purpose in nature’s economy is to sup
ply food for man; and that kind of breeding which aims
to increase productiveness is the most important.
It Is in this science that Tom Barron has set new
marks of achievement. Ho started in with the determi
nation to build up a flock that would perform v the func
tion of egg laying better than it ever had been done be
fore.
Without experience and very small capital, he suc
ceeded. His theory and practice of housing, feeding, care,
trap nesting and selection were devised wholly to the one
end; and the results are seen in the records his birds and
their progeny have established throughout the world. From
1906 to 1913 he has been the unquestioned leader in
’’utility” breeding. He has produced birds that laid from
280 to 283 eggs in twelve months, pens that have
averaged above 240 for a year and 93 during six winter
months,
There figures may not be impressive to the uninform
ed; their significance is seen when we note that the aver
age production of all the hens in the United States is hard
ly more tjmn 80 eggs a year. Now, there are approximate
ly 300,060,000 laying fowl in the country, their yearly
product aggregating 2,000,000,000 dosen eggs. If, by the
adoption of scientific principles, the average annual pro
duction were increased only 10 eggs, it would add $40,-
000,000 yearly to the country’s wealth. If the average
could be lifted to 120 -half the figure Barron easily
reaches—the yearly increase would be worth $160,000,-
000.
