Cost to Start.

In sharp contrast to the columns Of
rot which are published in the agricul-
tural press regarding the large profits
to be realized from few dollars in
vested in the poultry business, Is the
following from Farm Poultry, in an
swer to a question from a correspond
ent, in which the editor clearly points
out what margin of profit may reason
ably be looked for:
"Can the poultry business be started
with s35O?"
Yes. 1t can be started. but we imag-
in that start and for that amount Of in
vestment our friend expects to be sup
ported, and Of course. wants all
the other expenses met. It cannot
be done. Three hundred and fifty
dollars is no money at all to invest in
any business unless the operator ex-
poets to find himself Three hundred
and fifty dollars at per cent interest
would earn $21 year.
"Is II not good business that would
give IL per cent interest? Yet that
would only be $42 year. How many
businesses are paying IL per cent?
Poultry will. but $42 not being enough
for q living, the capital must be In
creased.
"How much of a henhouse can be
built for 500? At 81 running foot, 1t
is easy to figure out a 60-foot HENRY.
Divide this into five pens, and put ten
fowls in each pen, and there will be
quarters for just forty-five hens and
five cockerels.
"One hundred hens at 81 profit each
would give but 5000 year clear money
on the entire collection. Could one live
on that amount?
But there are more who only make
81 head profit than that double the
amount. 1t requires experience to
bring out big results, just like any other
business.
Now, If our inquirer has some other
occupation for living and will start
as we suggest he can gradually build
up a paying business.
"Moral-Begin small; go slow; don't
expect too much with little. Rather
reverse It."

PeIxin DuckA.

There is probably no branch of the
poultry bu ess more profitable than
duck raising, yet but comparatively
few farmers will admit these big white
beauties to their premises. The wives
would like to keep them, for their
feathers are light and elastic, and
every way as desirable as goose feath-
ers, and while the goose lays but few
eggs, the duck lays great many. The
great objection raised against ducks Is
that they foul the horse troughs, and
the majority of the eggs are lost, for
it is of no use to give a Pekin duck
nest or nest eggs. She lays wherever
it happens.
To keep ducks successfully and with
out annoyance about watering troughs
a small pen Is necessary. Their house
need not be fine affair nor the yard
expensive. A fence two feet high will
hold them, and twelve feet square is
ample for dozen or fifteen ducks. In
side the yard may be placed trough.
An inexpensive trough may be made
by taking two pieces of 2x10 scantling
four feet long. Round them up at each
end like sled runners. Take a piece of
galvanized iron two feet wide and nail
1t to the rounding sides OF the scant-
ling. To make 1t stronger nail pieces
Of 2x4s across each end. This makes
a very convenient trough to clean, for II
can be rocked back and forth to clean
It. A pipe from the windmill supplies
ours with water. Our trough has been
in constant use for six years and looks
good for several years more. Ducks
soon become accustomed to their home,
and after their gate issopened In the
morning--it ought not be opened before
10 o'clock during the haying season
they will go forth In search Of bugs,
etc., but frequent return visits will be
made to that trough. The eggs should
be gathered before they are given their
liberty, and they should always be CIV
en- breakfast in their pen.
The best food for laying ducks is
scalded bran and the table scraps. En-
silage will be eaten greedily by the
ducks. Raw carrots are good food.
Very little grain will be consumed IL
green food and table scraps are fur
nished. Ducklings are very easy to
manage, but a mistake sometimes costs
the loss Of large flock. They are best
raised In brooders even II Matched
under hens. For years we have no ar
tificial heat for ducks, but we would do
so If we raised them in large numbers.
They can stand more cold than chick
en-, but we cover ours when the weather
Is bad. only letting them out of their
tOx to eat. We feed them every two
hours until they are several weeks old.
Open water dishes are disastrous to
ducklings. They get wet. roll over on
their backs and die. We have never
been very particular what we fed the
ducklings-bread crumbs. cold pota-
toes, scalded corn chop and table scraps;
only feed often and keep them clean.
Lice Is sure death to ducklings. II
Matched under hens oil their heads as
soon as Matched. Inbreeding is a great
cause OF failure In duck raising. You
may inbred chickens and have fair
success, but ducks never. They take fits
and die. It Is poor economy to try to
get on with the stock on hand to save
expense.-Betsy Trotwood in Western
Stock Journal.

Cross-Bred Fowls.-In England quite
a demand Is annually created for cross
breds by the poultrymen there adver-
Using such, showing that they are of
a more hardy nature, and that as meat
and egg producers they excel the bird

on account Of fanciers sacrificing the
utility points of the breeds to gain high
scoring fowls, 1t looked as II similar
step had to be taken in this country.
But the fanciers are more careful now,
and we believe that better and harder
stock Is being grown. We prefer pure
bred poultry, but want them profitable.
We do not care for high scores when
we are aiming at supplying a market
for table poultry and eggs, and for that
reason the cross-bred question was
raised. But let the fanciers continue
to aim at utility and hardness, and the
bottom will drop out Of the idea of
woas3ns for profit-Iowa Homestead.

The Man at che Lever,

The locomotive engineer Is q ee>

Of deliberate precision in his lool,

sumes his quiet watch ahead. Tho
three levers which he has to manip.

use, and when they are used It IL
quietly and In order, as an organist
pulls out his stops. The noise In the
cab makes conversation difficult, but
not as bad as that heard in the: car
when passing another train, with Or
without the windows open, and In
looking out Of the engine cab the OBJ
jects are approached gradually, not
rushed past as when one looks lat
orally out Of parlor car window.
The fact Is that the engineer does not
look ut the side-he Is looking ahead
and therefore the speed seems less
as the objects arc approached grad
ually.
Those who have ridden at ninety
miles an hour on a locomotive know
that on good road (and there aro
mary such) the engine Is not shaken
and swayed In a terrific manner, but
Is rather comfortable, and the speed
Is not so apparent rs when one Is

lateral view Is had. The engineer

only In rounding curves or in up
