Catching the Eye,

The manager of one of Philadelphia's
largest department stores is my au-
thority for this business maxim:
you've got to get the peoples eyes
before you can reach their money"
He illustrated his meaning by telling
me Of a personal experience in bis
own great establishment. A certain
commodity Of standard make and fash
ion had piled two counters for some
weeks without moving. The owner Of
the store himself was finally attracted
to this dead weight merchandise. At
once he diagnosed the trouble.
Put those goods" ordered he. upon
a special counter four feet nearer the
aisle than they are now This was
done. and in less than day the entire
lot of goods had been sold. "All that
was needed" said my informant, was
TO get the eye of the women They
didn't hesitate to give US their money"

POULTRY CULTURE

aptiOn-To decide whether one
has the qualities which, under average
conditions, will make him success
FIJI in the poultry business, calls for
a close examination of the would-be
poultryman's personality. The first
essential is a genuine practical liking
for the fowls and the business. This
quality should insure such strong per-
sonal interest in all the details OF
care and management, that things
naturally go right and anything wrong
will be quickly detected and corrected.
Application Strict attention to
business and close application of MIND
and muscle are necessary in order
thai the plans may in the first place
be fully thought out and in the sec
ond place faithfully executed in every
detail. The poultryman must stick to
his business. Patience, perseverance
and persistence are required to en-
able the poultryman 20 work on in
spite of obstacles and discourage
ments which sometimes occur in this
as in other occupations, due to unfor-

rderliness-Methodic ways are
desirable to make sure of the syste,
matte Development of the poultry
plant management of its business. Ac-
curate accounts should be kept so that
the poultry man knows how the under
taking pays financially or where it is
running behind.
Studiousness-Stud usually
gees with the last mentioned quality
and there is ample opportunity for its
exercise in Planning and systematic
ing all parts of the business, N search
ing out causes of loss or injury, in re
ducing the expenses of food and labor
in securing better returns by attrac
tive advertising and more sdvan
tageous marketing, in improving th'
breeding stock, and in numerous ethel
ways. The poultryman who is con

ried home. and the line gave way.
The raiders were still undaunted and
ready to dispute the road at every
point. Forrest sounded the recall and
allowed his weary troopers a nights
rest. Streight took advantage of the
lull and stealthily set out for Rome in
the path of the detachment which he
had sent ahead TO seize the bridge. At
the river CoOsa he found that the citi-
advance guard crossed. and he was
compelled to march to another cross
ing. seven miles distant. This delay
and roundabout march gave the pur-
suers time 20 cross the river and get
between the raiders and Rome.
Streight and his officers began TO
doubt the wisdom of going farther.
The men were worn out and slept as
they rode. Many of the mules were
fOotsore. and the soldiers were obliged
to walk. II was decided to struggle
on in the direction of Rome and if pos
sibe overtake the detachment sent on
ahead. but on the morning Of the third
day of this running fight the whole
command sunk under hunger and IA
tigue. and Streight allowed the weary
Inen to rest. The column was then near

There is great advantage in a syste-
matte and properly directed study OF
poultry keeping even for one who has
had some experience in the business.
A beginner in poultry culture and the
wise poultryman seek to supplement
this foundation knowledge by con-
tinual earnest searching for valuable
facts bearing upon his calling. He
makes it life study.
The best starter for business life is
a faithful course III the foundation
studies Of the common school. If the
poultry man has the future advan
tages of higher education it should
prove helpful.
Biology - Some knowledge Of the
natural sciences and especially Of
biology is certainly desirable. The
poultryman deals with living animals.
The more he learns Of their origin,
history, classification and develop
ment, of their organs and the func-
tions Of the same, OF their growth,
their conditions IN health, of the
causes and symptoms of the disorders
and diseases which assaii them, and
all that relates to their correct man
agement, the better will be his under
standing Of the fowls which are the
| basis OF his business.
II he has gained some knowledge
of surveying, mechanical drawing and
carpentering II will be useful in To-
eating and constructing the poultry

A Girl Guides the Pursuit.

Streight destroyed the bridge over

shooters TO cover the crossing. Forrest
rode up. and n farm girl of the region
offered 10 lead him to a good ford near
by. The impetuous warrior took the
welcome guide up on his saddle and
hurried toward the river, but, coming
under the hre Of the Federal sharp
shooters. dismounted and asked the
girl TO follow and point out the way.
Forrest urged the girl. who was Miss
Emma Samson. to keep back out of
range. but she said. You may be
wounded. and it is my purpose to keep
near you" Finally they found the
ford. and while Forrest was examining
il the bullets cut the bushes close at

skirts-the ample hoopskirts Of the war
period.
