AS to the Pops uniting with the

So it looks as If this time that the

WHY THEY FAIL.
To BE Su"c-ssful You Must Be Thoroughly
Equipped for the Venture.

To Be succ-ssful vou Must lie Thoroughly
Equipped for the Venture.
A lot of people rush into the poultry
business without any capital or cx-
perience. and the consequence is-fail-
ure. They read of the success Of
others. and imagine they can do as
well. without consn.ering for one mo-
ment that they are not equipped for
the venture. So many people start out
on a scale that is nothing short Of
ridiculous. We have known men to
quit jobs and start in the poultry
business with hardly enough money
on hand to pay for one months pro-
visions, expecting to make living out
of the business from the start. TO the
amateur poultryman we have this 10
say: Do not quit your job and expect
to make living with poultry the first
year; for IL you do you are certain at
the end of the year to be among those
who swear that thGre is nothing in
keeping chickens.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on large scale Is to start
with only n few, learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care
If, at the end of the year, you are
satisfied TO 60 ahead, and have enough
money on hand to get everything ready
for larger breeding flock Las well as
to carry you through the year for the
necessaries. of life, then you might
quit your job and start in.

Bisulphide of Carbon for Rats.

l noticed the article in the American
Elevator and grain Trade about the
Texas man and his box with bottle
of bisulphide of carbon in his grain
bins. 1t is q remarkable fact that the
great success with bisulphide of car
bon in killing rats in Paris, France
was what led to it's extensive use in
the West for Killing praire dogs. am
positive its great value for killing rats
is not at all appreciated in this coun-
try. In ils use, however, for killing
rats, 1t must be remembered that they
are made to live in close places and
the foulest air in which any animal
can live, and anyone who tries to dis
pose of them with it must persist.
Three years ago my barn was over
run with them. The first treatment
seemed failure, for, though appear
ing somewhat dazed they seemed as
plenty as ever. If it would not kill
them l, of ali men, wanted to know
it, and | gave them three more doses
within ten days, ard they gave up and
l have not seen rat about the place
since. The place must have bad
reputation in the rat kingdom. The
best way to treat them is to. saturate
cotton waste with bisulphide of car
bon, push 1t into their earth holes
and cover the holes. If they dig the
cotton out give them some more.
Where they cannot be got at under
buildings only font or two above the
ground modification of the Texas
mans plan might serve to kill them,
as the vapor is heavy and in such a
place ultimately travel to the bottom
of their holes. There would be no
danger of fire in such case. il there
were no openings the vapor would
travel through.
