mistakes and hasten the arrival of the
time when he may regard himself as
being well qualified for the work.
1t must be admitted that many of the
most successful farms have gradually
grown from small beginnings, that the
inexperienced will do well to start on
a small scale and expand their operations
as rapidly as they gain experience and
their success warrants. Usually this
is slow process. and much greater
progress can be made by adopting some
other plan. Until very recently no other
practicable method was available, but
modern developments IN the industry
have changed this.
College Poultry Courses
Many of our leading agricultural COL
leges offer regular courses in poultry
husbandry. Such cources vary in LEM th
according to the idtas of the officials in
charge and the equipment of the insti-
tuition. Short courses are very popular
and these run from to IL weeks. The
entire time is devoted to poultry SUBJ
jects, class hours are long and the work
maintained at high pressure. 1t is OBJ
viously impossible for a student to bcome
a practical poultryman in this length of
time: but 1t is undeniably true that an
earnest student can secure a very good
theoretical knowledge of the principles
underlying the industry and of accepted
methods of the practical management of
poultry. He will also absorb a vast
amount of enthusiasm, which will go
far towards helping him over the rough
places in his path.
The chief practical objection to- such
courses Is their lack of practical work
on the plant. Few. If any instructions
are sosequipped as to afford each student
in large class any considerable op-
portunity to engage In practical work.
even If class hours would permit of this
Therefore, the short-course student must
realize the fact that while he has secured
a considerable amount of theory, has
learned what not to do and what to DO,
the real doing must still be accomplished.
These courses are usually offered dur
ing the winter months, but a few col
leges are giving summer courses which
may be taken during the usual vacation

White Cochins are one of the most
attractive varieties of this breed of
fowls, which were originally imported
into this country and England from
ports in China between 1870 and 1850.
Originally they were known as Shang
hais, but later were given the name by
which they are now known.
When first brought to this country
the Cochins were tall, rangy fowl with
long shanks and necks. They were
very Irregular in color and markings
and showed tendency to have feath-
cred legs.
By careful selection and mating the
breed has been brought to It's present
form, and the type has become fixed in
all the varieties. While these changes
have undoubtedly produced a breed of
great beauty It cannot be denied that
they have caused falling off In utility

and made two and three eight gallon
cans daily and shipped on an evening.

one and paid fair price. Money
came in better than in the other line
of farming, SO we felt we were on the
right track. But this evening through

the winter would not do in warm
weather. I went to see the officials
of the Grand Trunk at Chicago In re

line to ship enough milk to pay them
to put on the train. So | got busy in

Lottaville to Valparaiso in making and
shipping milk to the Chicago market.

would brought up all kinds of objec-

for their pigs; have to make butter
for our own use and might we'll
make it all into butter" Finally all

With fear and trembling. I went to
the Grand Trunk officials with my 16
cans promised and told them that
farmers were very slow In taking hold
of a new enterprise, and that l was
sure if they would put the train
others would soon get the habit and
we would soon grow to some impor-
tance. AS luck would have it the VAL
paraiso people just at that time were
asking the Grand Trunk people to give
them an accommodation train. SO they
agreed TO put on our milk and accom-

history of the birth and growth of

horses and few mich cows-a little
of everything and not much of any

left was not any great amount. Some
thing had to be done to bring in more
money! and 1 decided that sheep would
carry me TO prosperity. SO | bought
$50 head of sheep and some good Cots

had taken on a bad lot of foot rot with
the sheep and my vision of prosperity
was turned into disappointment; but
got the whole lot fat and received
good price for them on the Chicago
market

we do to be saved?" We decided the
cow was our salvation and Chicago our
market for the product. Chicago at
that time was getting all her milk
