Success and Failure

Some people fail with chickens be-
cause they are easily discouraged.
Others succeed for he simple reason
that they keep hard at work, cleaning
up, fighting vermin, matching as much
as possible One must be persevering
to succeed with poultry.

POULTRY
CONSULTING DEPARTMENT


POULTRY
When man says his hens don't
lay or pay, or both, a little obserya.
ton will usually disclose the fact that
his hens are too shy and nervous ia
stay on the nest long enough to Law
an egg. Have you ever watched the
successful poultry keeper, the one who
IS making poultry keeping pay, how
his fowls run after him whenever he
has occasion to enter the poultry
yard? The best results cannot be OBJ
tanned from hens that are wild and
shy. The poultry keeper must be on
good terms with his hens or his hens
won't lay as they should A hen that
is so wild that she will fly off the nest
or roost whenever anyone enters the
poultry house cannot be a god LAYER.
She is in a continual nervous state for
fear someone will come within sight
of her and hasn't time to think of
laying eggs.
But there is another disadvantage
besides the one that directly affects
your pocketbook in having wild"
fowls. 1t isn't conducive to good tenn
per to have your fowls start cackling
and Growing every time you happen to
get near them, nor is it very conven-
lent when you have to chase q long
legged cockerel all over the place ev-
cry time wife wants a chicken for din
ner. Viewed from any angle the tame
hen is by far the more desirable. 1t
isn't hard to tame chickens. On the
contrary, it is the easiest thing mag
Unable. 1t is simply a matter of being
friendly whenever you are around the
fowls, instead of throwing stones at
them every time they get near you.
But fowls are by far the easiest to
tame when young. Start making frieds
with your chicks this summer and
your next hens will be tame ones.
Rhode Island Red is Ideal
| consider the Rhode Island Red as
the farmers ideal fowl, says a writer
in q griculturist. It's heavy covering
of feathers helps to keep it warm so
its food can be utilized more favorably
for egg productions. Its plump, yell
low body is as free as that of a white
TOW from dishguring dark pin feath-
ers, always disadvantage in market
ing. The hens are extra good moth
ers, protecting their young as but few
fowls do. The chickens grow fast and
get TO laying as soon as any other of
the American breeds. They lay beau
tiful large brown eggs.
| have shipped eggs to a small city
for the past two years and the gro
Gerry man says they sell better than
any eggs he handles. | have raised
poultry for 20 years and have kept
Leghorns, Brahma, Cochin, White
White Plymouth Rock
fowls and crosses of these breeds and
most Of the time have had the Barred
Plymouth Rock. 1t has always been
a standby and still is a favorite.
From my two pens of two-year-old /.
Barred Plymouth Rock fowls during
the past winter, | had an average of /
half as many eggs as hens, but the
Rhode Island Red fowls did better
than that.

"Discovery."

According to some wonder mongers. whenever you tell story asserting the existence of something new and aston ishing you discover" 1t. But that is not the sense in which the word is used by scientific investigators. When Pro- lessor and Mme Curie discovered" the wonderful element "radium" they plac- ed it. so to speak. lon the table," and every one has been able to examine it and to prove that the statements made about it are true. When Dr. Laveran of Paris discovered" that malarial fe- yer is due to parasite in the blood he showed the parasite and showed how one can always find it. and thus he en- abled any one and every one to see it and to examine it's relation to malarial fever. Those are instances of "discov- cry" Mere guesses and assertions without proof are not "discovery."- London Telegraph.

SEWARD MAY ASK TAXES
 FROM THE GOVERNMENT,

The Seward city council is prepar- ing to guard against any attempt on the part of Uncle Sam to foist the ex- pense of supplying police protection to the residents of the tract of land adjoining Seward, which is soon to be sold by the governments real estate agents.
 When the government sold lots at Anchorage all the purchasers of lots were exempted from taxation on their city property for period of five years, and similar course is feared at Seward. It is expected that the Seward council will take steps be- fore the lots are sold to have an un- derstanding with the government s agent regarding the part the purchas- CTS of lots are to take in the upkeep of the city.

A Man of Quick Wit and Prompt
 Aetion Waa I ord Whitworth,


 Action Was Lord Whitworth.
 Lord Whitworth. who held various posts of honor in English diplomatic circles. was kindly. gracious gentle man as well as wit and man Of the world. He had indeed almost meas- ured swords with Napoleon at the Tuileries when that despot railed at England for not having evacuated Egypt and Malta, accused her of hav- ing violated treaties and ended by 6ourishing a cane dangerously near the face of the English ambassador.
 Lord Whitworth put his hand on the hilt of his sword.
 What would you have done if the emperor had struck you?" he was aft erward asked.
 "I would have felled him to the ground" was the quiet answer
 Perhaps the best story told of him is one showing how his quick wit dis posed of rival. When he was at the Russian court. Fox sent there as sort of ambassador of his own man named Adair. the son of surgeon.
 One day the empress. speaking in French. said to Lord Whitworth:
 "Is he very important man. this M. Adair?'
 Not so very, madame" replied Lord Whitworth. although his father was a grand saigneur." remark which read CTS of French will recognize as very good pun. for the word used by Lord Whitford means blood letter." while by it's sound it also meant great lord. London Standard.
