While we are on the subject Be
gin Small" let us give a word to the
mar or the woman who fears to make
a start in poultry with a dozen or two
birds. Sometimes one who is touched
with the poultry fever hasn't the
room in the back yard for that many.
In fact, has only room enough for
four birds.
II more people started with a half
dozen birds. more people would re-
main in the poultry business and sue
coed. 1t takes will power to run
through a year or two with only a
few birds. But he person with the
will power thrives in the poultry
business.
Most people think in this fashion:
II have six hens. I'm getting five OF
six eggs a day. II l had six hundred
hens I would be getting five or six
hundred eggs"
Immediately there is a reaching
out Of the big numbers. and there ID
some surprise when only two hundred
and fifty or three hundred eggs are
forthcoming. Why? Simply because
the same care cannot be given SIX
hundred birds that Is given six. There
will be more iaggards. II the poultry

ROOT TO RETIRE.

Senator Root, Of New York. says
that he will not be a candidate for re-
election because he will not go upon
the stump to engage in a personal
campaign. Under the recently rati-
fed constitutional amendment sena-
tors are to be elected by popular vote
instead Of by state legislatures, and
Mr.. Root takes it that it will be neces-
sary for the successful candidate to
make a personal appeal to the voters.
This he is unwilling to do.
It is to be hoped that Senator Root
will reconsider his decision, for his
retirement would be a loss to the ma
ton. It is true that in the tagging
of mel by factions Mr.. Root has been
classed as a reactionary. He has not
