another good method. One advantage
of this scheme is that on the return
trip the silver sides of the leaves of
the broken twigs will face you, and
thus be easily distinguished from the
surrounding leaves. The stone-heap
signs Gig. 81 are generally used
where there are no trees to blaze.
It is good plan to carry compass
when tramping, but if you lose your
directions when without compass,
your watch will help you out Of the
difficulty. Hold the watch as shown in
Fig. 4, with the hour hand pointed to-
ward the sun, then halfway between
the point Of the hour hand and the IL
o'clock figure will be south. If the
face Of watch were divided into "a
hours, the IL o'clock mark would al
ways lay in the direction of south, but
as it is divided into only one-half that
many hours, it is necessary to take
the point halfway between the hour
hand and IL o'clock Thus, at 4 D. m.
south will lie approximately in the di-
rection of o'clock, while at a. m it
will lie approximately in the direction
of 10 o'clock.

ing the trail, then where turn is
made, he cuts or "blazes" the nearest
tree to that turn in the same way, and
makes an additional cut upon the right

the turn is made to the right or left.
Unless you carry a small ak with
you, you will not be able to make
blazed trails, though you should re-
member how to read them. The three
sets of signs shown in Figs. 1, 2 and

daughters who have to go away from
home to find something profitable to
do for spending money.
You can more than earn spending
money at home by raising poultry with
800 hens, the profits from which
would assure you a larger income
than the factory hand and not SO many
hours work per day and this mostly
in the open air. You would be in no
danger of losing your job" for the
hens are capable of producing from
200 to ESQ eggs per each year.
Good, pure-bred stock is one of the
features for the most rapid improve
ment. Too many do not give enough
thought to the breeding side, and
even the matter of production re-
ceives but little attention. On under
taking any enterprise in whatever
line it is extremely necessary to con-
| slider If what we are doing is to result
| in success.
First, determine the breed desired
would strongly urge the necessity OF
! choosing at the outset one of the best
breeds and sticking to it. Ii rightly
managed a flock of 800 hens will
bring in not less than $500 a year.
! have read of some making $500 with
only six hens and cockerel. These
persons receive fancy prices for their
products. am just talking about the
ordinary prices that the majority OF
| farmers obtain.
Let me tell you that this cannot be
done with scrub stock. This is where
| the mongrel fails and the pure-bred
i wins. A farm full of laying hens Is
a great help because they are daily
cash income.
| About the first step to make is to
go right out to the hen house. Don't
figure on paper. Sit right down among
them and see if you can find wherein
| YOU can make improvements for this

You can make money with poultry
| if YOU love the chickens and start
| out with the intention that you are
| going to make a living at the bust
ness and if you are not afraid to work
and will apply yourselves to the task
i of looking after and caring for the
fowls.

they would be walking on velvet In
stead of beating the hard pavements

If nature intended you to do this
work, do it. A successful foundation
with poultry is first made by going
into details in regard to the little
things that in the beginning seem to
be so Insignificant

who has already made a success in
cattle and hog raising. You will not

they go about it on businesslike prin-

There is nothing about poultry
farming but what can be learned by
any bright woman and there is no
part of the work woman cannot do
poor health reaping good harvest
both physically and financially in the
poultry business, and l wonder why
more women do not indulge in this
health-giving business. Often women
! are left companionless on the farm.
Why not try poultry raising instead of
moving to the city to find something
to do to exc out mere existence?
They write me, what branch of the
poultry business shall take up?" You
will have to decide for yourself; as
so much depends upon the location.
the demand, the market, etc.
Business methods will pay. Profit
or loss can be known only by good
bookkeeping. We cannot overesti-
mate the Importance of keeping rec
ords of our hens. Upon these records
depends the success or failure of our
business. Under present conditions
with the increased cost OF everything
which enters into the production of q
dozen eggs comes the necessity fol
the application of stricter methods OF
| economy and q closer attention to
every detail.
We must get out of the old ruts and
open an account with the hens. giving
them credit for what they produce
and charging them with what they
consume.
