By Judge F. J, MARSHALL.

Hundreds of people in all parts Of
the country are beginning to take up
the breeding of poultry in earnest.
They are easy 10 locate because they
are after information of all kinds
from all sources. Naturally they are
anxious TO get started right.
We get any number Of these let
tiers asking us for information as to
how to start a poultry plant The
majority Of them are not explicit
enough as to their intentions. They
usually ask MS how many and what
kind Of chickens should person
keep in order TO be able to make a
comfortable living from them.
As "A rule they do not tell us which
branch of the business they have in
mind. They do not tell us what their
qualifications are.
Many Too Ambitious.
Many people want to start into the
poultry business upon too large a
scale In other words. they do not
seem to realize how important it is
to have some experience before en-
barking in too big a craft They do
not seem to think that experience
counts as il does in all other branches
of business. What other lines of trade
are there where a man or woman would
4
the start as their competitors are
doing after a decade of experience?
And yet with poultry they will ask
the question as TO how many fowls
or laying hens person should start
with to be able to make a good liv-
ing
Now if they would turn it about
and ask question something like
this. How many hens should per
son keep the first year of his eX-
perience to insure making a failure
Of it?' it would be a little more rea-
sonable to the poultryman who has
been through the rounds.
From what we have been able TO
gather from our rounds of nearly all
y he poultry plants Of this country. the
successful ones started at the bottom
Of the ladder. In fact those that
started at the top, thinking that they

Experience Is Necessary.
Some one must have the experience.

the reason that their promoters start

hot months, when the rains do not

Kansas is a rolling prairie. and it is
cut up with thousands Of miles Of
gullies. As soon as the water was

the gullies became dry.
Thousands Of these gullies have
been damned by the farmers this
year and hundreds have planted

July and August often pass without

Men Charged With Loading Too Many

T. c. McCamey, shipping clerk of the

Merkent, alias H G. Martin, charged
with being an accessory after the fact,
and also theft, was dismissed MerkenI
is being held as a witness for the state
on a $3.50 bond.
McCamey and Merkent were arrested
by city detectives, after the discovery
was made that the contents of a box
car of groceries did not correspond
with the bills of lading. The day be-
fore the arrest, Merkent, under the
name of Martin, 1t is charged, had ap
peared at the James A Dick store and
purchased $40 worth of groceries for
which he paid. The groceries were
loaded in a car destined for Deming,
n NJ
The variance between the amount of
groceries called for by the bills of
lading and those in the car, resulted in
the arrest of the men. On the same day
that these two were arrested, McPhail
was arrested by the police of JuareZ.
He later was brought to this side
During the examining trial, Merkent,
who said that he was commonly called
Martin, testified that McCamey intro
duced him to McPhail MeCamey, he
said, made the proposition that he go

McPhail. he testified, wanted him to
raise $500. Early last Friday morn
ing, Merkent said, McBhau came to
his home, 301 West Overland street, and
got him out of bed to ask him if he
could raise sizes. A part of the amount.
he said, he Secured by offering jewelry
as collateral. He was then instructed
ne said. to make the purchases at the
wholesale house.
The evidence showed that where the
bill called for one sack of rice, three
had been supplied. Orders for tobacco
and other items were duplicated in the
same way II is charged. One
item showed that a sack of SUI
gar had been ordered, but it
was testified that the purchaser did
not have the money. The order was
scratched off but the sugar was found
among the groceries recovered.
