FIRST ATTEMPT MADE
AT POULTRY RAISING
Safest Plan to Start in Small
Way With Small Flock.
Errors Will Be Made and Many. Diff
cult Problems Encountered Before
Success Is Attained-Fali
Good Time to Start.

The safest way for those who are
about to make their first attempt at
poultry raising is to start in small
way with few fowls, and learn the
business thoroughly before making
large investments, advise poultry spec
ialists of the United States depart
ment of agriculture. Mistakes will be
made and many difficult problems will
be presented for solution before sue
cess in any large measure will be
attained. As soon as 1t is found to
be paying investment, more capital
may be put into the plant
Another good plan for Tire. beginner
who wishes to learn the art of poultry
keeping is to secure a position with
some successful poultryman. One or
two years of work on q large, practi-
cal plant will be found a great help,
as the methods of caring for the birds
and of marketing the products can
thus be learned better than in almost
any other way.
The question is often asked. What Is
tire best time of the year for one to
begin? When to begin is not very
important. Fall is a good time, for
then stock can be purchased for less
money than at any other season. 1t is
also advisable to move the fowls to
their new quarters before they begin
to lay.
If the beginner has had experience
in poultry keeping, it will be all right
to purchase eggs, otherwise he should
begin with the fowls and thus gain
some knowledge Of caring for poultry
before attempting to raise chickens.

SMALL STREAMS
FURNISH POWER
Electricity Can Be Generated for
Farm and Home Use at
Very Little Expense.
CHEAP SUPPLY or CURRENT
Great Shortage Of Labor Makes 1t De-
sirabie for Farmer to Take Ad-
vantage Of Every Opportunity
to Cut Expenses.

Many farmers unknowingly have on
their farms a source of power that
could be put to work at very little ex-
pense and could be made to fill many
farm and domestic needs. This is the
stream. large or small, that now runs
away In wasted energy. Particularly
at this time, when there is a great
shortage of labor on the farms, 1t is
desirable that the farmers take adj
vantage of every possible means Of
utilizing power. Electricity, too, for
farm and domestic uses benefits the
farmers wife as much as it does the
farmer himself, for it relieves her of
much of the drudgery of housework
and adds greatly to the comfort of
farm life.
The farmers needs go hand in hand
with those of the wife, so. in consider

which is sufficient electricity for all
lighting on the average farmstead and
for operating motors for many of the
usual needs for power. such as the
washing machine, milking machine,

ming mill, etc. If the head could be
made 10 feet. instead Of 5. the horse
power could be doubled Or II the
stream were twice as wide or twice as
deep with but 5-foot head the result
would be the same.
The minimum conditions under which
an installation should be considered
are, roughly, a flow of 100 gallons per
minute and a head of 10 feet, or the
equivalent. Under these conditions the
amount of electricity generated con-
tinuously is small, but by permitting

Small and Large Plants.

various farming operations even dur
ing threshing time. necessarily must be
considered the exception. On the 9th
er hand, the smallest plant which is
worthy of consideration is one having
capacity of but eight to ten lights.
Between these two extremes, there
exist today on our farms the means of
developing thousands of plants large
enough to supply between five and ten
horsepower during all seasons of the
year. 1t win be found that these
plants will fill the needs of the aver
age farm and provide an excess for
emergencies. The cost may be con-
sidered well within the reach of thou
sands of owners today.
Where conditions offer the oppor-
tunity for development the first step
is to determine the quantity of water
which is available. This may be done
preferably by either the weir or cross
section velocity methods. Unless the
stream is of such width as to entail
too large an outlay for the construc-
ton of weir dam, the former method
should be used as more accurate re-
suits are obtained with it. Neither
method requires any special technical
skill if one will follow directions care
fully. Both methods are described
fully in Yearbook Separate TO, ''Elec-
trio Lights and Power From Small

The farm poultry flock should be
one of the most profitable branches of
the farm business. To bring this con-
dition about it is necessary to keep
good stock and to have the flock of
suitable size, properly housed, fed and
cared for. This is not complicated
matter and the farmer should not
think that it requires such specialized
knowledge and skill as to discourage
him at the start, make him throw UP
his hands with the cry, whats the

On the average farm the poultry
