WIRE NETTING
This is just the kind of fence
needed on your farm. Made of best
material woven so closely that it
prevents chickens going through,
yet it is strong enough to hold any
kind of stock.

A Perfect Box
The Lowest Price
We make a perfect Box or
Crate .because we know how —hav-
ing spent our lives in the business.
We quote the lowest prices because
we are at the heart of the timber
kingdom of Pujset Sound and get our
supply from the log direct instead
of from lumber already cut. Let us
quote these prices to you.

WESTERN WASHINGTON EXPERI-
MENT STATION.
In speaking of the appropriation of
$86,0000 ivcnmmended for the station,
the Puyallup Tribune says:
Providing the appropriation is se
cured, tin- farm will undergo extensive
Improvements, Four experts will be
employed to pursue their particular
vocations, besides a number of farm
hands. Professor Lawrence would de
vote his time to botany, entomology
and plant diseases. In the latter branch
he has conducted a number of experi
ments with marked success, in addition
to supervisingthe restoration of the
badly run-down farm. One expert
would have charge of the poultry and
dairy work, another would be assistant
In horticulture, and the fourth would
be assistant in agronomy.
A building would be constructed two
stories in height, with a concrete base
ment, and have a greenhouse in con
nection. In the basement would be a
fruit cellar, fuel storage and furnace
rooms. On the first flooor a laboratory,
library, potting room and office would
be located. The second flooor would
consist principally of a museum, where
the ilustrated life history of all plant
diseases peculiar to the state in insect
pests would be presented by the use of
cards and mountings. An exhibit of
fruits, grasses, grains and other prod
ucts of the soil would be made. Any
thing which would be of a practical ed
ucational nature to the rancher would
be given a place. Two work rooms
would also be on this floor.
H. L. Blanchard. of Hadlock, one of
the most prominent poultry men in the
WMest, is now the guest of Professor
Lawrence at the station. Mr. Blanch
ard will start work in the poultry and
dairy departments which it is proposed
to establish. His practical advice will
be used in constructing the buildings
and attending to other important feat
ures. The poultry plant will include
incubator and brooder buildings and
will accommodate 250 chickens.
A goat house will also be built, 16
by 32 feet in size. The herd of Angoras
now at the station consists of ten head.
Many of the young which have been
born in the last few months have been
carried away by wild animals. Super
intendent Lawrence strongly recom
mends keeping a herd of Angoras
where a rancher has some partially
cleared land, for the goats will keep
down the bushy undergrowth and allow
the grass to grow. The hair will pay
for their keep, for practically all the
expense in this connection is building
a shed where they may be sheltered
from rain.
BELLINGHAM SHOW.
Bellingham Poultry Association held
a very satisfactory show at the begin
ning of the year. More than 700 birds
were placed on exhibition and were
viewed by many people. Elmer Dixon,
of Oregon, acted as judge.
White Leghorns led in number of en
tries, and a s. c. White Leghorn cock
erel scored 94 3-4 points, being equaled
only by a White Wyandotte pullet.
There were many splendid specimens
of Barred, White and Buff Rocks,
White, Silver Lace and Buff Wyan
dottes, Single and Rose Comb Rhode
Island Reds, Buff and s. c. White and
Brown Leghorns, s. c. Black and White
Minorca*, Buff and White Orpingtons,
Buff and White Cochins, Light Brah
mas, Black Langshans, Ancomas, In
dian Games, Dorkings, Bantams, etc.,
and a few waterfowl. .
Grant Angell is president, J. W. Gray
and George Lindsay, vice presidents,
L. A. Bfckwith, treasurer.
The Lady—What, 40 cents a dozen
for eggs? Why, that's more than three
cents for one egg.
The Qrocer —Well, mum, you must
remember that one egg is a whole
ekiy's work for one hen.—Cleveland
Leader.
It la cheaper to make the poultry
liotist- comfortable than to feed extra
grain at present prices.
