FIRST ATTEMPT MADE
AT POULTRY RAISING
Safest Plan to Start in Small
Way With Small Flock. f
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 a 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 it is found to
be paying investment, more capital
may be put into the plant.
Another good ,pian for tke 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 a 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
TIE 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.

Father and Daughter
Get Relief by E.atonic

r. J. Powell, Sweetwater, Texas,
SAYS, "Eatonic helped me at once,
but it was my daughter who got the
marvellous benefits. She could not
even take a drink of water without
awful misery, but it relieved her; she
is feeling much better. All this from
one box, so send me four more at
once"
Hundreds of people now take
eatonic; one or two tablets after each
meal keeps them in good health,
feeling fine, full of pep. Eatonic
simply takes up the excess acidity
and poisons and carries them right out
of the system. OF course, when the
cause of the misery is removed, the
sufferer cannot help but get well.
You will find it quick, sure relief
for heartburn, Indigestion, sour, acid,
gassy, bloated stomach. It costs but
a trife and your druggist will supply
you. If you don't feel we'll, you give
eatonic a test. Adv.

The notice of the meeting was so

Not Sympathetic, Either.

Grandmother was considerably
peeved at grandfather and wished to
show it, too. He had dug up some Of
her flowers, and she had told him that
since he had no respect for her be-
longings she intended to leave him
nothing when she died. She turned to
her grandson. "Now, when 1 die,

James sympathized with grand
father in this controversy, but he
thought it best to say nothing openly
So he smiled at grandmother. "All

"I'll sure be glad to get them. But"

Was Looking For.

Little Joe had been told that he
could not go to grandmother's house
before the end Of the week. And he
wished very much to go right away,
for grandmother had new kind Of
cookies. He coaxed mother, but to no
avail, so he decided to try strategy.

I'm still a-going to come back and see
you every day"
Mother was delighted. "That will be

"Yes," Joe was positive, land If any

HONEYMOON SURELY AT END
Brute's Retort Proved That the Ar
rows Of Cupid Must Have Lost
Their Sharpness.

Sad is it when the brief story of the
honeymoon departs, leaving only the
prospect of the endless monotony of
ordinary life ahead.
But that was where the Smiths
stood. Their honeymoon had soon
waned under the stress of modern
life. In fact, Mrs. Smith was already
adopting the policy of mastery mac
tivity; even hubby's most loving en-
dearment couldn't get a kind word out
of her.
The tiff happened on Wednesday,
and lasted till Sunday morning, when
he, attired for his usual stroll, asked
her:
"What is for dinner today, my dear"
His suave voice and winning smile
earned for him a brief retort. The
lady replied with more force than
grace:
"Oh, rats!"
But he was not caught unawares.
With a sweet smile he countered with
the remark: s ~

rate of feet second under a head
Of feet is capable of supplying over
10 horsepower, according to estimates
made by engineers of the division of
rural engineering, bureau of public
roads, of the United States depart
ment of agriculture, that have been
investigating the utilization Of farm
streams as sources of energy for gen.
Grating electricity. Ten horsepower Is
equivalent to about IA kilowatts,
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.
separator. churn, feed grinder, fan
ming mill, etc. If the head could be
made 10 feet instead Of 8. the horse
power could be doubled. Or If the
stream were twice as wide or twice as
deep with but a 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 head of 10 feet. or the
equivalent. Under these conditions the
amount of electricity generated con-
tinuously is small, but by permitting
the plant to run continuously and stor-
ing the current generated in storage
batteries, supply may be always at
hand for the lighting and small power
requirements of the farm.
Small and Large Plants.
A plant capable of furnishing cur
rent for as many as so to 100 lights
for the house, barn, outbuildings, yard
and drives; providing ample current
for washing, ironing, vacuum clean
ing, electric fans, toasters, percolators,
hot plates, sewing machine, etc., for
all cooking, heating of water and the
house in the coldest weather, as we'll
as for operating motors for all the
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
a 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 will 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 we'll 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
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 a 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 ITO, 'Elec-
trio Lights and Power From Small
Streams" copies Of which are avail
able for free distribution from the
division of publications, United States

KEEP DUAL-PURPOSE BREEDS
Plymouth Rocks, Wyandottes, Rhode
island Reds and Orpingtons
Are Most Favored.

On the average farm the poultry
flock is expected to furnish eggs and
poultry for the farmers table as well
as to produce a surplus for sale. For
that reason it usually is found that
the so-calIed general-purpose breeds,
such as the Plymouth Rock, Wyan-
dotte, Rhole Island Red and Orping-
ton, which are good layers and at the
same time makes suitable carcasses
for the table, are best suited to the
farm needs A futher advantage of
good stock is the fact that the owner
will take pride in such flock which
he will not feel in a flock of mOngreis,
and as a result he will give the hens
better car.

CHEAP SUPPLY or CURRENT
Great Shortage of Labor Makes 1t De-

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 ad-
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

MOST PROFITABLE BUSINESS
To Secure Good Returns From PouI-
try Flock Keep Good Stock and
Give Good Care.

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 a
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, "What's the
use?" and let the hens shift for them
selves.
