Patronase-Farmsrs Frequently Fall.
He Who Makes No Effort Exempt.
tcopyrishtsd. lu4. BY Thomas J. sulltvAn.1
HO only is exempt from failure who
makes no effort
In the lexicon of youth, which fase
reserves for a bright manhood. there
is no such word as fnil-it comes later
in life.
There are so many reasons which
can logically and truthfully DO ad-
vanced as use contributing to the
numerous failures that I will endeayor
to apalyze only the principal ones-the
business failures.
Every failure IS a step to success;
every detection of what IS false d.
reefs us to what is true; every trial ex-
hausts some tempting form Of error.
Not only so. but scarcely any attempt
is entirely a failure; scarcely any the
ory, the result Of steady thought, Is
altogether false. No tempting form OF
error is without some latent charm
derived from truth.
Failure is. in q sense. the highway
to accomplishment, innsmuch as every
discovery of what Is false leads US to
seek earnestly after what Is true, and
every fresh experience points out some
form Of error which we shall afterware
carefully avoid.
In this article we have not the space
to trent OF individual cases or their
many causes but will deal altogether
with the commercial side OF the CUES
hon-the business failures.
Perhaps the most general and com.
mon cause is lack OF capital. Many
men venture into business with Just
enough money to swing the enter
prise for a month, at the end of which
time they expect the new business to
be self supporting. 1t seldom is, and
as the concern becomes a financial
cripple the inevitable is sure to happen
failure.
Business Instinct Required.
1t may be said in passing that COM
bined with the Grst form Of tailure
there are two Others, lack Of business
instinct and business experience. And
these three are frequently augment
ed by another equally dangerous in
business. and that is engaging in a
business of which you have no knowl-
eye or experience in. No man can hope
to succeed in any line Of business
where his principal qualifications are
assets and ignorance.
But without question the most pro.
nounced cause of business failure In
line or In any community is that
Of lack Of patronage. No business con.
Germ. professional man, church or
school can long endure without patron
e Heavens eternal wisdom has de
creed that nan should ever stand In
need Of man.
The beautiful must ever rest in the
arms Of the sublime. The gentle need
the strong to sustain them, us much as
rock flowers need rocks to grow on or.
the ivy the rugged wall which 1t en-
braces. Patronage is the sustenance Of
business, and without It failure follows
just as surely as death follows the rock
flower and the ivy when their support
is withdrawn.

GOOD POULTRY HOUSE

Poultry houses may be built more
open and consequently less expensive
ly in our southern states than in tire
north, according to investigations Of
the department. However, = house
which gives satisfaction in Maine will
also give good results in Texas of Cal
ifornia. The best site for a poultry
house in any location is one where
good water and air drainage are avail.
able. The floor and yards will then
be dry. The house should not occupy
low hollow in which cold air settles
Wherever possible southern or south
eastern exposure should be selected,
although this is not essential if there
is any good reason for facing .he
house in different direction.
Poultry House Construction" il
the title of the department new
Farmers Bulletin NO. 574), in which
are explained the main features that
should be considered, and in which
pictures and pans of satisfactory
houses are shown. Every poultryman
who contemplates erecting new poultry
buildings should write to the depart
ment for tbs bulletin, which will b.
sent him free on application, as long
as the department supply lasts
There are two popular ways in
which to raise poultry, the Intensive
system and the .'colonv system.''
The frSt of these aims to save steps,
and accomp!ishes this purpose. Long
stationary houses are used. 1t is
easier, however. to keep the birds
healthy and to reproduce the stock
under the second system.
Under the colony system the birds.
are allowed free range, the houses,
which hold about 100 hens each, being
