In all occupations it is the strict observ-
ance of business principles that result In
success, says the Indiana Farmer. Raising
poultry is no exception to this rule, and
those who have and are making the bust
ness a decided success are but receiving
the reward that follows the faithful ap-
plication of strictly business me thods. This
so-called luck" good or bad, is merely
the effect of proper or improper methods
II is a matter of wonder that men of IN
telligence, who know perfectly well that
certain things are necessary to observe,
will half observe or carry them out. and
then, when the natural results of cause
and effects follow, lay the poor success on
luck" Luck" is thus made an excuse
for all manner of carelessness, shiftless-
ness, incompetency, laziness and sheer ig-
norance.
Success in poultry culture is no hapha-
zard affair but is secured only by regular
methods, and the closer the application
and more careful and earnest. the greater
becomes the success. There are some men
who can handle a large flock with success.
There are others that succeed well with
but few, but make a sad failure when they
try large flocks. A well-known fancier has
said there are few ACKNOWLEDGMENT
One reason why many fail to meet with
success when they increase their hocks is
that they fail to increase their accommoda-
tons in proportion 10 the increase in their
flock; they fail 10 recognize the fact that
large fiocks are difficult to feed SO that each
individual may secure It's allotted share
the various ailments have to be guarded
against where large fiocks are kept that
are comparatively unknown among mod
crate sized hocks. The man who has at
tanned success with fair-sized flock
should be very cautious how he increases
il, expecting thereby to increase his pro-
fits. He should make a careful note of the
facts that have resulted in securing pro-
fits.
A good way 10 Increase the flock is to do
it on the colony plan. After you know how
TO care for say 50 hens then start another
yard of 50 hens Then you will about dou-
bic the number of hens with not quite
twice the amount OF labor, and you should
have twice the amount of profit. This
should be followed up until you can in
crease by another colony of 80 hens. By
method you will be able TO care for 500
hens and do Il as successfully as you did
with the first so.
There are men who raise poultry by the
thousands, and with a percentage of loss
not much greater than those who raise
but few Their success Is due to their

onions in south Georgia.

II. ", McRae, Ga, asks some questions
relative 10 onion growing.
Most all italian, Spanish or Mexican
onions can easily be grown from the seed
in any part of the South The chief requi-
sites are that the seeds be fresh and the
soil be suitable. part Of the crop should
be grown from the seed and a part from
sets, marketing the onions from the lat
ter only in the spring, while the onion
is still green and tender, selling them in
lunches. Occasionally the young onions
grown from seed sown in December or
late November will be seriously injured
by freezes towards the last of December
or during January, but it is very rarely
the case that the crop grown from sets
is so injured. In the South onion seeds
should be sown between Oct. 10 and Nov
10, so that the young plants can get well
rooted before the freezes occur The seed
can be spwn in February, and will ma
ture In May or June. In those months
onions are not much in demand in the
South, for other vegetables are then in
season. 1t is quite likely that these new
onions would be readily salable in the
Northern cities during June and july and
at remunerative prices. One of the best
onions that can be grown from seed in
the South is the variety known as Der
muda," of which seed can be procured in
Florida The seeds are very high this
season, selling at from $3.50 to 50 per
pound. The Italian varieties, chief among
which is the White Queen, can be had at
half these prices. and will give satisfac-
ton il one knows how to grow onions.

peonns on mIcl,ory Stools.

I have had so many letters in regard
to my last article on pecan crafts in
young hickory trees, all asking for addl-
tional facts. that am compelled to again
discuss that subject.
did not do my own grating, that be-
ing done by a friend of mine now in the
pay department of the army who is not
a professional CRATER. This may account
for his success with my hickories, the
grating of which he did with rare excel
lence.
His plan Is to take a young hickory
nearly as large around as your wrist cut
it off about three or four feet from the
ground after setting Il out. He then splits
the tree, using wax and putting 1t on
very carefully and securely.
The crafts used were from pecan gratis
in his own trees. which came originally
from the Florida Gulf coast, and bore nuts
the third year after being set in the hick-
cries.
Some people prefer dormant budding. but
I should set out my young hickories in
the fall and bud them in the spring.
There are several varieties of pecan trees
and a choice could be made so as to get
a variety for budding. 1t is reported that
Capt G.. NJ Bacon of Mitchell county,
Georgia, has had excellent luck with his
pecan trees, which are thrifty bearers and
produce a large and good-favored nut
that readily sells to the Albany fruit deal.
ers. He ought to have good CRAFTS to sell
of his species of pecan trees.
AS to grating pecan trees, should pre-
fer that plan for myself, and thus get
an early crop of nuts as well as a variety
by grating several species. In grating
my trees 1 did not graft all the limbs, but
left some that l hope Will bear soon and
which will have different variety of nut

and with thrifty CRAFTS. Then the crafts
must be looked after constantly until able
to take care of themselves. Where young
hickories are set out to be grated they
should be literally watered when set out
and also after being grated. In dry
weather 1 sprinkle my CRAFTS and thus
keep them thrifty.
There can be no question now as to
the profitable culture of intoxicating trees
in South Georgia and Florida. The only
trouble is in being led into TOO great en-
terprises by Jealous parties having young
trees or seed nuts to sell 1t is always
best to experiment on a small scale even
where but little doubt exists. Your soil
or climate may not be as wen suited to
some kind of nut-bearing trees as those
of the man whose success leads you to
go into the business. There are many
causes for success here and reasons for
failure there, in regard to all crops, even
where the lands of the two experimenters
join each other. Very often there is more
in the man than in the land. You must
not only understand your business to hope
for success but your heart must be in it
also from a love Of it and not merely
to make money. Sidney Herbert.
