Helen heard Warren's key with tre-
AEdatton- She still held the veil pin
I'm her hand and determined to make
clear breast of the whole thing:
she made no effort at all TO hide it.
Well. how's everything" Warren
remarked breezily STOPPING over her
as she raised her face to his.
Now, what's the matter" he que
ried, noticing her worried frown,
which she tried to change into a smile
at his words.
For an answer she held up the
pin. Don't you remember, dear?'
Cant say that do: what pin is
It? A present for someone?"
No, Warren, II isn't a present.
Don't you remember I have had trou-
BILE enough with the thing. I am sure
I'd never forget what it looked like"
Warren still looked blank. and
Helen with little shake OF her
shoulders flashed the pin before his
eyes, and remarked dramatically:
Tt belongs TO Mrs. Thurston!"
Mn. ThurSton? Whew, now 7 do

Nora found Il under the dresser q
long time ago, and had put it in my
desk drawer. OF course, she forgot
10 tell me about it,"
Helen was talking quite glfbly now,
conscious that Warren was in an un-
usually good humor and taking ad-
vantage OF the fact.
Il remember now how I lit into
her. TOO" Warren continued: Well.
what are you going to do about II ?"
Take il back to her, of course"
Take it back! Why not send it?
That would be an easier way out,
should think"
Warren Can't Quite Understand 1t All
II know, but it would give her
twice as much chance to talk"
Warren grinned. We'll. I don't
envy you your job
But Warren. is it true that they
have moved into cheaper apart
ment? ?"
Yes, it's true all right; Thurston
lost lot OF money the beginning Of
the winter. I think he was plunging

Maybe she's changed" said Helen,

We'll, that's a good one" remarked
Warren, slapping his knee and burst

Not at all, said Helen, Indignantly;

through close in breeding. poor man
agement or any other cause.
AS the buyer must rely largely on
the representations Of the seller, he
should buy only from those who have
a reputation to sustain.
After the start in poultry raising
has been made by securing proper
buildings and proper flock, there
comes the care of the poultry. Here
is where experience counts most. The
greatest common cause of failure in
the care of the plant may be cited un-
der the general heading OF neglect of
details. This embraces everything
from cleanliness in the incubator cellar
to the proper maturing of chicks, and
the culling of the matured fowls.
Yards and houses must be kept clean
and sanitary. Incubators must be
sprayed. Hovers and brooders must
be nice and fresh. In every depart
ment cleanliness is the keynote of sue
cess. Neglect of cleanliness opens the
way for diseases of various kinds. Dis
eases are not really the first cause OF
failure, but are only the result of neg
lect of cleanliness. There cannot be
too much care in keeping clean every
article that has anything to do with
raising poultry. This includes every
thing from dislnfectiEg drinking foun-
tain to selecting clean and wholesome
feeds.
Regular Attention Essential
Want of regularity in carrying out
the system of poultry raising is often
the cause of failure. Regular hours
should be had for giving the fowls or
young chicks attention. Definite hours
for feeding, watering, gathering the
eggs, closing the houses for the night,
cleaning. disinfecting and for all other
work are absolutely necessary.
Failure with poultry is due often to
inability to raise a sufficient percent
age of chicks. This often is a combi-
nation of other causes. 1t may be due
to poor foundation stock. It may be
caused by careless methods of incu-
baton, want of proper attention, or
the stock may be rugged and the eggs
properly incubated, but lack of care
in the details of feeding, ETC., may re-
suit in big losses among the chicks.
In raising chicks, regularity and great
attention to every detail are most i'm
portant.
Want of a suitable market or easy
access to one, has caused some good
poultry prospects to fail. Before one
starts to raise poultry extensively the
question Of marketing the products
should be investigated thoroughly.

PARTRIDGE COCHINS
COPYRIGHT. 1915.

The Partridge Cochin is a descend
ant of the Shanghai. which was the
aristocrat of poultrydom in the early
days of pure bred poultry culture in
America. The Shanghais were later
known as Cochin Chinas, and later
still as Cochins. There were yellow,
gray and red-yellow; the gray entered
into the production of the dark
Brahma, and the reds, which had
black in their plumage, were progeni-
tors OF the present Partridge Cochins.
Because the plumage of the hen re-
sembled that of the grouse. this va
riety was originally called the Part
ridge Grouse Cochin. In 1S47 some
fine specimens were imported from
England, and gave impetus to the
breeding of this variety, which now
reaches its finest development here.

There always will be a market for
poultry products of high quality, but,
as in many other lines. there is often
an production of inferior grades
In certain localities. AS the range of
prices throughout the seasons are
strong factors in marketing poultry in
any given locality, these should be
studied for series of years, in order
that a general average may be OBJ
tanned.
While it is true that there are fail
ures in poultry raising, just as in any
other lines, yet the percentage is no
greater, If as great, where the man at
the head of the enterprise is naturally
adapted to the business and has even
a limited experience.

as if he wanted her.

As a utility fowl the Partridge
Cochin has always been preferred to

of being a better layer, and is equally
handsome when dressed. It has yell

tiiS pidAll anu upon the CdTS gwen IIlc
stock. In this article Mr.. Hicks tells
what the pitfalls Of poultry keeping
are and how they may be avoided.
His advice Is based upon many years
of successful experience as a poultry
man.
TN any line OF business there are
failures. These failures occur often
- through the want of experience or
natural adaptability of the man at
the head of the business. In no line
Is failure more often attributed to the
man himself than in poultry keeping.
Not everyone is fitted to be a success
full raiser of poultry. This requires a
real liking for poultry and its care,
a critical eye to every detail, and a
painstaking disposition to attend to
these details.
Provided the poultry raiser is equip
ped by nature with these necessities
for success, the most common cause Of
failure is want of actual experience in
raising poultry. This lack of expert
ence is the foundation of many of the
other causes that contribute to losses
Through experience anyone not nat
urally adapted to poultry raising can
become successful and thus overcome
handicaps. Lack of experience causes
the greatest stumbling blocks in the
Selection of improper location.
Keeping poor stock.
Starting with the wrong breeds.
Equipping with poor and improper
equipment.
Too extensive buildings.
Too large a plant.
Want OF proper marketing methods
Neglect of the details
The person with experience, even If
limited, avoids these stumbling blocks.
They never trouble him to any appre-
ciable extent because he knows in ad-
vance how to reduce these troubles to
minimum. The right beginning is
more than half of success in poultry
raising. But the man without expert
ence gets such hard bumps that he is
unable to survive financially or else
becomes discouraged and gives up
poultry raising before he has given it
thorough trial
Study to Overcome Inexperience
The beginner in any kind of work is
usually optimistic because 1t Is human
nature to see the sunny side In the
future rather than to see the discour-
agements offered. The inexperienced
does not know of the pitfalls that are
to be avoided, but he can readily see
the opportunities for profit and pleas
ure because these appear on the sur
face. 1nexperience can be overcome
largely by reading books and papers
on the subject of poultry, by studying
the poultry business as taught by
schools and colleges, and, finally, by
