A Minister'S Success With
Chickens When Hines
Took Him From His Work
Importance of Selected Stock,
Business Methods, Good
Values to Ones Customers
BY T.. b. Templcr
Practical Poultryman
COPYRIGHT 1870

It is a tough proposition for an old
man TO he forced out of the ministry
on account of sickness and approach
ing old age, with but little in reserve,
and il is equally hard when a young
man must give up his work, especially
when he has a wife and youngsters to
look after. This is what happened to
service in the ministry. Sickness,
death in the family, hard work, and
the burning of the midnight oil finally
brought about a collapse. Providen-
TALLY he had a home and n good sized
lot in a small village, which suggested
the keeping of poultry.
TAVING decided to go into this
n work from q fancy utility stand
point, l made a selection of what
I thought to be a popular variety, the
White Wyandottes. | secured some
of the very best stock, and paid more
for them than my purse seemed to
warrant, but the wisdom of this was
seen later on. l placed these birds
in a makeshift coop and bred them
one season, retaining the pullets for
y
enough birds the second year so that
! could advertise the sale of Matching
eggs in the Spring. 1T was my hope
to be able to sell eggs and stock to
people who wanted to make a start
with poultry. The first ad was placed
in the classified department of local
poultry journal, and the results were
awaited with high expectations. AS I
recall it now, from more experienced
standpoint, it is a wonder that I
heard anything from the small ad
which was packed in with many other
like advertisements, but | did. / sold
few settings of eggs, enough to en-
courage me going into business on
larger scale; but it was with some
hesitation that | started in on the
building of a better house for my
birds.
Building the PouItryhouses
There are so many different theo-
ries relative to the proper construc-
ton of a poultryhouse that ! was
somewhat puzzled when / really got
to the point where | was to build one.
| decided to have a semiopen-front
coop, with a shed roof and an en-
closed roosting place. / built for the
accommodation of a hundred birds,
making the coop 12x30 feet. Each pen
was 10X12 feet The whole top front
of the house was left open to the
width of two feet, this space being
later covered with muslin frames.
These frames were each 2x10 feet
and were swung on hinges TO the out
side, so that in the winter they could
be opened for ventilation and in the
summer to keep the hot sun from the
house. / found this arrangement very
satisfactory.
The roosting quarters were at the
rear of the house, taking up the entire
length. Muslin drop curtains made
it possible to protect the birds from
the excessive cold of winter, for I
found that if hen had her comb
frozen it was "good-by eggs" as far
as she was concerned for the re-
mainder of the winter. | give a great

Crinkled Crepe NightgOwns$l
A Rainy Day Thought.

1t rains on the just and on the
unjust. The showers that make
the desired crops grow, also
make the weeds grow. There is
a suggestion in this as to what
constitutes right and wrong. The
stronger plants outgrow tn e
weaker, and if our farms are
filled with rank week seed, it is
but natural that the better we
make conditions for growing of
crops, the better will the weeds
grow.
Looking into the lives of men,
we see a striking analogy to farm
crops, the results in both instan-
ces depending on the seed. If
in our lives the weed seeds are
the stronger, the very civiliza-
ton that favors the growth of
the good will only hasten the
bad, because the greater a bad
mans intelligence, the greater
his power for evil.
