POOLTCT
BUILDING UP POULTRY FARM
Necessary to Make Right Kind of
Start and Work Must Be Faith
fully Performed Every Day.
Uly MICIIAKIj K. BOYISH.)
A poultry farm built upon a secure
foundation is sure to bo successful if
It is nftorward properly managed. It
Is not only necessary to make the right
kind of a start, but tho work must bo
regularly and faithfully performed day
In and day out.
As a rule beginners start with grcnt
enthusiasm, and not n fow build air
castles, but to many of them tho samo
ncss of tho work, tho closo applica
tion, tho constant watching, soon bo
como monotonous, and then thero is
a shirking of duty, neglect, careless
ness, and tho ontorprlso becomes a fall
Jro. Tho point is to begin small meas
ure tho size of tho initial stop with the
amount of capital and experience at
hand.
It Is often tho case that men with
more or less available capital, practi
cally put all their money in houses and
stock. This is a mistake and more so
A Purebred Cock.
(n tho caso of those who have no per
lonal experience in the work.
In the parlance of today, "a man
must bo on to his job." Ho must know
what to do and how best to do it. lie
must be. awaro that inexperience may
causo leaks, and leaks will soon .sink
tho enterprise.
It is a noteworthy fact that most
juccessful ioultry farms of today arc
those that havo started from a small
beginning and gradually expanded as
business and experience warranted.
Men "who would not go into the dry
goods business for tho reason that they
know nothing about it, will build
oousos and stock them and expect the
hens to do tho rest.
Hens, like cows, yield a profit nc
:ordlng to tho treatment given them.
They will not stand neglect. They are
hard workers when properly managed
and rewarded, but they can be the
most idle and Indifferent producers
when made to shift for themselves.
Our agricultural colleges havo done
much to teach the now aspirants now
to tread in poultry paths, and men Ami
women who endeavor to Improve Dy
theso excellently arranged courses of
Instruction will havo won half (.he
battle the other half naturally be
longs to practical experience.
A man with $1,000 would better in
vest one-half of It in buildings, stock
and fixtures and reserve tho other naif
for feed and running expenses, than
Invest the entire amount in tho exjulji
ment and have to go in debt for f lie
feed.
Eggs and poultry are staple crops
and tho demand Is far greater than
tho supply. This country needs more
poultry farms, und they will be suc
cessful when properly built and man
aged. But the beginning must be
small and the growth gradual so that
every part of tho work Is promptly
noted and carefully and correctly performed.

REASON FOR THE MUSTACHE
In Evidence as Having Been Worn by
British Soldiers as Measure of
Military Necessity.
Tho correspondent who writes to a
cotomporary suggesting that tho
British war office authorltler should
insist on soldiers being clean shaven
instead of ordering them to wear mus
taches, might havo alleged Teutonic
Influence in tho adoption of tho mus
tucho of tho British army. Tho idea
was first borrowed from a batch of
Austrian officers quartered with Bomo
of our troops on tho South coast dur
ing tho Watorloo campaign. It was
then taken up by tho guards, who very
much rescuted any attempt on tho
part of mere lino rogimcnts to 'follow
tho now fashion. Tho winter cam
paign in tho Crimea led our men to
grow full beards for warmth, and
these, modified into flowing whlBkers
