Know Your Bushes SIS.

In every walk Of life one will
perceive that the masses of his
feliowrnen are failures. Of the
many rnea engaged in some eef-
tain business the majority will
fail. A few will succeed under
the same conditions that others
fail. The poultry business de-
serves far more attention than ii
usually receives. An exchange
furnishes the following hints on
poultry raising that are certain
to prove beneficial to all who
will follow its lead:
Success and failure with poul-
try depend upon the poultryman
himself. There are good eppor-
tunities with poultry and many
ways of making a certain amount
Of money by judicious arrange
ments and close attention IN the
keeping Of fowls; but for be-
ginRer to suppose that because
he is presided with certain
amount of money, and can secure
a likely place for business, suc-
cess is certain is a mistake.
Although just at frst matters
may seem easy, the undertaking
may sooner or later end in a very
sad awakening to The reality of
dead loss. But provided the
| business could be made an adj
janet to something else which
| does pay, then, with acquired
knowledge-gotten oaly by ex.
| perience-and unrenitting at
teution to even the smallest de-
tails, itnay be made 10 add very
materially to the annual receipts,
and later On may be made an
exclusive business.

to continuously advocate a rail-
way to Yaquina bay and the i'm.

finally led to the results SO far
accomplished. The good work
was finally taken up by other
valley papers. The competition
afforded for a time reduced freight
rates SO that many thousand dol
lars were saved to the producers
of the Willamette valley and in
a great measure benefited other
portions of Oregon. The hard
times, the financial reverses
which overlook many of the rail-
roads of the country, fell with
destructive force on the Oregon
Pacific Railroad Company and
forced change in its manage.

steamship facilities from Yaquins
bay to San Francisco to engage
in the Alaska trade put stop tc
