Why They Fail.

A lot of people rush into the poultry
business without any capital or expert
ence, and the consequence is-failure
They read of the success of others, and
imagine they can do as well, without
considering for one moment that they
are not equipped for the venture. So
many people start out on q scale that
is nothing short of ridiculous. To the
amateur poultryman we have this to
say: Do not quit your job and expect
to make a living with poultry the first
year.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on a large scs;- is to start
with only a few, learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
ali the good birds you can take care of
without crowding the first year. If,
at the end of the year you are satisfied
to go ahead, and have enough money
on hand to get everything ready for a
larger breeding flock, as we'll as to car
~ you through the year for the neces-
saries of life, then you might quit your
job and start in; but remember, that
this first year is what counts. You
learn whether you have a taste for the
business, and get pretty good idea of
raising poultry. The second year you
should be able to produce flock large
enough to enable you to go into it
more heavily, and with ordinary sue
cess you should make good living off
of 500 hens.
We would strongly advise you, when
starting, to be governed by the follow
ing rules: First, start with the best
to be had; second, decide what you de-
sire to breed for-eggs or meat; third,
get one variety, and stay with it. If
you breed only one variety you can
soon, by advertising a little and ex-
hibiting your birds, make reputation
on them, and sell a good lot at good
prices. While the rest can go to market.
Do not start with the idea that YOU can
sell all you breed at fancy prices, for
you will not be able to do so for some
time. To earn a reputation for your
fowls, you must advertise for at least
one year before you can expect much
return. The poultryman who succeeds
in selling all his fowls at good prices is
the man who has spent years in the
poultry business and many dollars in
advertising.-Pacific Poultryman.

Stacking Hay.

Let me give you better way of put
ting up your hay than those two old
plans. which have their faults. Shock
ing the hay, and bringing it in with
ropes is too slow, and in bull-raliing it
in you are liable to begin stacking too
soon, or your hay is liable to get
bleached, besides you can not stack SO
evenly and well on account of the hay
being tooloose. Here is my plan: Make
two sleds out of poles or scantling.
something light. Get two poles to run
under shocks, to lift on sled with: have
hay shocked. Working force of five
men, one man to stack. two men to
pitch the hay, one man to bring hay in
from field, one man to stay in field to
assist in loading. Run your small
poles under shock, load on sled until
full, drive to stack, hook to other sled
for another load. Leave load, first on
one side and then on the other. You
stack will then go I'D evenly, quickly.

in the spring when you want to put

it does not make your arms near so
tired. The ground dries four or five
days sooner. and so it is better all
around than if you let all the weeds go
to seed. and it looks so much better.
Another good thing to do is to NOW all
fence corners and waste places, and
try to get them seeded down to grass.

Instructions have been sent to Adj
miral Dewey, at Manila, and Admiral
Sampson, to enlist for four years all
men with their commands who entered
for the war with Spain but who desire
to continue in the naval service. The
Department officials believe that
large majority of this class will re-en-
list and no trouble will be experienced
in keeping the naval quota up to its
full limit allowed by law. 1t has been
decided to maintain in commission all
ships now afioat, as the Increase or

will enable this to be done. At pres
ent the enlisted strength consists OF
1860 men, but of this number 1920

SAMOAN IRREGULARITIES.

Apia is located on the considerable
side by the singing sands of the har-
Dor, white as the back of a girls hand.
The dust-scurrying trade winds blow
interminably, roaring through the
of insignificant rivers-the Mulivai and
the VaisfnganO-form, with the Pacific
Ocean, a three-sided fosse around the
zone Of trouble. For the rest, there are
like, bloody minded, naive, scandal
mOngering, clean-colored natives of
engaging manners and unpronounce
able names, to whom fighting and Cos
sip and head-getting is the breath of
their nostrils. The islands lie to the
westing and south'a ard Of San Fran
cisco, and can be reached by a fast

or so days. On arriving, the yacht
master will find just whom Robert
Louis Stevenson found when he turned
his dark and kindly face islandward-
contemporaries of our tattooed an
cestors, who drove their chariots on
the wrong side of the Roman wall"
Very likely these contemporaries will,
for the most part, be found surf-bath-
ing and fishing.
The inhabitants are Christians,
church goers, singers of hymns, hardy
cricketers, but withal (perchance by
reason of the acquired veneer of civil
ization) children of nature and head
hunters, devoted to fetch worship and
biased politically by legerdemain. One
who can juggle a dollar in Apia is es-
teemed a god. Hermann, had be but

the conditions in the soap trade are very
badly demoralized, the Fairbank Com
pany are not seeking or encouraging any

relatively the lowest In the history of
the trade. The talloW market has ad-
Vanced fully L cent per pound in tba

towards combining interests. ANY COM
.binat1on embracing the principal manu-
facturers throughout the country might
naturally and legitimateIy be in posi-
ton to advance soap prices proportion
ateIy TO the enhancement of all raw ma
terials, but beyond this effect on orr
trade We are positively not interested Or
concerned in any consolidation Of soan
interests. We are encouraging our sales
men in all directions to work in perfect
confidence in the permanent indepen-
dence of this Company of all Trust
Affiliations, and we are pleased to
state that the soap trade contin-
ues very brisk, because, aside from
the natural effect of the expected combi-
nation, the current cost of all raw ma
terials warrants materially higher prices
on soaps, and sensible buyers are antici-
pating future requirements to the full
limit of their convenience in carrying
stocks.',
