A We'll known book on poultry rails
ing advises against sowing any kind of
crops-oatS, clover or anything else-in
the poultry yards or runs. giving as the
reason for this advice the fact that
such crops form humus in the soil when
the roots decay. That the roots of such
crops make humus in tle soil is true, of
course, but the conclusion that such
hunus makes for rapid and dangerous
pollution of the soil Is rather far
fetched. Any yard or run in which
poultry is kept for a long period is
likely to become polluted. but instead
of fastening such pollution or making
1T more dangerous the presence of hui
mus in the soil acts as a deterrent,
making the soil more friable and por-
Gus and consequently giving better
drainage. Besides this. there are a few
facts in connection with successful
poultry raising that cannot be gotten
away from. These are: Green food is
u necessity for poultry If health. vigor,
large egg yields. high fertility of
chicks are objects. Poultry of all kinds

cut and thrown into the Yards The

green feed is good for the hens. Fur

two weeks old-or below So degrees If
the chicks are only week old. Newly
Matched chicks require greater warmth
than this, the proper brooder tempera-
ture in this case being between 80 and
95 degrees under the hover. Clear
days the ventilators in the brooder
should be kept wide open, and es-
pecially warm days the glass doors
should be raised to permit free circu-
lation of the air.
Allow the chicks to run out on the
ground during the warmest part of
the day, being particular to see that
the ground is freshly turned over two
or three times week to prevent pollu-
ton that might seriously affect the
health of the chicks.

Instances of Failures.

There are many instances of these
failures where large plants have sprung
up In short space of time, and modern
buildings and equipment have been in
stalled, but the owner. not being desir-
Gus of giving it his personal attention
and directing the opera tons from per-
sonal knowledge, has been compelled TO
employ experienced help at large sal
aries The heavy expense thus entailed
was more than the plant was able to
stand.
For the prospective poultryman a lack
OF capital is rather more helpful than
otherwise. 1t forces him to begin in 2
small way and gradually acquire knowl-
euge with the moderate increase of his
stock. 1t teaches him to dispense with
many useless and expensive appliances
and to use only those which will save
labor or add to the health and pro-
ductivenesS of his fioci1S
There is no better way to take up
poultry keeping than to begin in a

How to Start.

Secure trio of fowls of the breed or
variety which most appeals to your
ideal. There can be secured from these
enough eggs in one season to make suf-
ficient increase in the flock and at the
same time give an opportunity to study
the various characteristics of the par
'entage of the future flock.
If the females of this trio are care
fully trap-nested considerable informa-
ton may be gained regarding the egg
production of the stock Select the best
eggs for Matching.
In case an incubator is used it will be
necessary to provide u brooder, and
then all that is required is to feed the
chicks properly till they grow to ma
turity.
While the flock is fncrea sing and the
poultryman is acquiring practical ex-
perience it is also the time when he is
most profted by reading and studying
current poultry literature. Be careful
of too much radical experimentation
1t may be alluring to institute new
methods, but it will be found that the
greater number of these have at some
time or another been given trial and
found wanting.
Very often at the beginning of the
season there is every indicati of sue
cess. but many unforeseen conditions
will arise to the detriment of the
growth and health of the flock, and
make it necessary to resort to radical
changes in order to avoid disaster.
During the advancing stages of the
flock there Will be afforded an oppor-
tunity to study the various markets
and market conditions, as. after all,
this is the practical side of the poultry
