PRACTICAL RESULTS.
Tho First Year in Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.

The First Year in Poultry Raising Causes
Many Surprises.
The best informed persons, those
who may have taken advan tage of the
experience of others, and who may
have resorted to all the literature to
be obtained, will also find, when they
have passed through the first year, that
there were a thousand and one facts
that could not be detailed or explained.
In fact, many things occur with one
which may not happen with others,
and which may not occur again, but
every transaction is contribution to
the knowledge of the poultry man.
1t Is better to expect nothing the
first year. Something will be gained,
however, and that is experience. In
the management of large numbers
there are many matters which will
happen and which cannot be discovered
except by daily observation. Every
poultryman, whether beginner or
not, is capable of originating some
thing, and he is as liable to make dis
covery that will revolutioniZe all pre-
vious theories and methods as is the
veteran. The beginner who has read
poultry literature has, however, a
great advantage over him who has de-
pended on experience alone, for litera-
ture is really the published experience
of Others. There is no pursuit, how
ever, that does not require the practice
of the theories to make them more fa-
miliar and better understood. In the
poultry business one has to understand
not flock only, but the individual
mem bers of the flock.
Practical results always point to sue
cess The first year may be an entire
failure, with loss of time. capital and
labor, but the cause of the failure may
be discovered, and knowledge of the
cause may be of more value than the
pecuniary loss. One must not estimate
the results by the operations of a
single year Hundreds of farmers have
failed with crops one year and been
successful the next, owing to more fa-
vorable conditions the second year; and
the poultryman who has failed, yet
discovered the cause and learned
more about how to manage may, in
the end, be benefited by his losses,
as he will be more careful and be bette,
informed in regard to future opera
tions. Farm and Fireside.

The origin of that compound Of salt

in fact so ancient that the first record
we have OF its use is by the Chinese in

before on, human being found that by
using it IN an iron tube he could kill his
fellow. for from the sixteenth century
dates the discovery OF firearms. Car
