Failures and Their Causes.

1t is a strange fact that farmers
know less In regard to the manage
ment of poultry than should be the
case, and the reason is tnat while they
have given their attention to other
farm stock, they have not looked ss
deeply into those matters that pertain
to poultry as a business. The raising
of poultry has not been considered Q
business at all, but simply an adjunct
or a pastlme, the consequence being
that while the farmer gives his stten-
tion to larger stock and learns daily
how to manage with greater success,
he has allowed his hens to manage
themselves. The sick horse or cow Is q
source of anxiety to the farmer, be-
cause he has In the animal hundred
or more dollars invested, and Veteri
nary skill or the experience Of the
farmer will be used TO it's fullest capRc-
ity In order to avoid loss. Infectious
diseases are guarded against, and due
precautlOn Is taken RnainSt loss.
Farmers are learning that there Is
profit to be derived from the small
things on the farm, and that the capt.
tai Invested In poultry, though not
usually great, is sure to bring 10 a re-
turn, and they are turning their atten-
tion In that direction, having the
advantage Of ready sales at all seasons
and home markets; but the long neg
lect Of years places them at disadVan.

that direction, though accnstomedtO
having hens In the barnyards from

that might otherwise be avoided with
the possession Of knowledge In the
matter Of poultry raising.
Failures occur from attempting too
much without experience. There are
essential details necessary that can
only be properly performed By those
who are experienced, and the first
steps should therefore be gradual.
The farmer should learn something Of
the breed and their uses. He should
know the know the breeds that will

THE ATTRACTIONS OF RICHMOND.
The City spoken of as the Cannes
of North America.

A special correspondent OF the Balti-
more Sun writes to that paper from this
city:
Richmond is the Cannes of North Amer
lea. When Washington and Baltimore
are shuddering in a snow-storm, or
shiverins in a Northwestern, the sun shines
here. the sky is blue; the trees take on
a yellowish tinge, and the fiower-buds
burgeon, and there is the aroma of spring
in the air. Richmond is the Riviera,
and when the rich citizens Of New
York or Philadelphia or Chicago estab-
lish villas in the surrounding country,
and the Good Roads Commission make
the country traversable, as the rich peo-
pie OF London, Paris, or Vienna do
on the northern shore of the Medterra-
Dean-this city will be the social centre
OF the continent; the winter metropolis
Of wealth and pleasure.
For Richmond has more to recon-
mend II than any other locality. 1t is
surrounded and full of Revolutionary
"reminiscences. and was and is the capt.
tai Of the Confederacy. In the Shockoe
Cemetery IS the grave of Peter Francisco
the strong man Of the Revolution, who
sinele-handed, on foot, fought and routed
600 British dragons; killed one with
the sabre and threw his horse over the
fence after the rider. That's the tale
as they tell IL. so you see 'old soldiers"
in those days told with advantages the
deeds they did" as they have done since
Agincourt or before Agamemmon.
Out on the Grove road. now Park ave-
nue., there IL a stone marking the place
where Arnold's picket was posted. In
lIs9. in Hollywood there are 5000 Con-
federate graves, and the whole town is
full OF monuments and memorials.
SO much for the historical part. But
the social side is more interesting TO
the present generation. The Jefferson
Hotel Is the finest hotel In the world. 1t
occupies half square, on Franklin and
Main streets. and the plan IS perfect.
The courts. with fountains flowers. turf.
and electric-liehts. are like scenes from
''rhe Arabian Nights" A fine orchestra
furnishes good music every night but
Wednesdays and Saturdays They give
superior concerts, and the beauty and
fashion turn out In fun feather. It's a
sight worth a hundred miles travel 10
see. Saturday nights the Hobbies ARE
crowded with the prettiest and best
dressed women and manly men, and all
as bright and cheerful as good humor
and perfect health can make them.
Dinners at the Jefferson, lunches at
the jefferson are "the thing" and ia
ycrite mode OF entertainment by the
Rlchmonders, and they are as delightful
as brilliant conversation and beautiful
women can make them. They say that
good virgfnians hope when they die TO
go to baltimore. can only exhort Bal
timoreans not to wait for the future
