"What time did Mrs. Curtis go out?"
growled Warren after he had hung up
his coat. Nora had lingered near the
dining room door to answer any ques
tions that he might have to ask.
"She went to her bridge club, Mr.
Curtis, and she told me to tell you that
she would get home as soon as pos
sible."
Warren growled out something
about it being just his luck and Nora
went back to the kitchen, while he
settled himself in the living room with
the evening paper. As luck would \
have it. Warren had come home early
on purpose. He had some theater I
tickets in his pocket and had thought
they might go out to dinner. Helen
was always ready to go. but to come
home like this and iind her at her
club. Well, he might have remem
bered that this was Friday afternoon.
He finished the paper and threw it
down. The little French clock on the
mantelpiece chimed 6 o'clock and he,
in a fage, walked to the telephone and
was about to give a number when he
realized that he had no idea where the
club had met.
"Nora," he called, and as Nora ap
peared in the doorway he turned and
growled out:
"Where did Mrs. Curtis go to-day,
do you know?"
"Yes, Mr. Curtis." said Nora calmly,
"She went to Mrs. Dalton's."
Warren considered before calling up
Mrs. Dalton's number. He had never
liked the woman, probably because he
had an idea that she knew entirely too
much. She was president of the Cur
rent Events Club and was rather a
brainy woman. Helen had always
manifested a great admiration for her,
but Warren had pronounced her con
ceited. Furthermore, he had never |
liked her husband, and as he was not
inclined to be generous Mrs. Dalton
had never gone up in his estimation
for this reason.
However, that was no adequate rea
son for hesitating about calling Helen
up. He pulled his watch out> and ex
claimed at the time. Ten minutes
wasted. Nora was moving around in
the dining room arranging: things for
dinner and she stopped to see if Mr.
Curtis was telephoning.
"Mrs. Curtis said that she would not
want any dinner, sir." she ventured
timidly. "So if you want yours every
thing is ready."
Warren did not answer, but took up
the receiver impatiently.
"Hello, give me Schuyler 24670," he
said, not waiting of anything more.
And then, as central connected him.
"Hello, is this Mrs. Dalton's? I want
to sneak to Mrs. Curtis, please."
He waited for a moment, and then
someone took up the receiver and
spoke sweetly.
Mrs. Dalton Comes to tlie Telephone
"What is it you wish, please?" It
was Mrs. Dalton. and Warren asked
again if he might speak to Mrs. Cur
tis. There was a babel of voices going
i>n in the same room and Mrs. Dalton
said sweetly:
"Oh. Mrs. Curtis? My maid could
not understand you, there is such a
racket. Ts this Mr. Curtis? How do
yon do? Just a minute and T will see
If Mrs. Curtis has gone. I think she
has."
There was a moment's interval.

1 she said she would be home Immedl

to see her in person."
Warren thanked her and hung tip
tho receiver with a snap and went into
. the dining room. Nora began to wait
on hint silently, and It was a quarter
of seven before the bell rang and Nora
; hastened to open the door.
Helen hurried in. looking very
flushed and sweet.
"What did you want, dear?" she
said, hurrying into the dining room
and bending to drop a kiss on the top
of his head.
Warren was very busy buttering a
piece of bread and Helen dropped into
a chair opposite without knowing that
■ he was in a temper. Then he looked
up and she started.
"Dear, you knew Friday was my
bridge day. and as this was the first
meeting we had a lot of things to talk
over and arrange after we had stopped
playing."
"Yes. I see you did." Nora came in
at this moment.
"Will you have something to cat,
Mrs. Curtis?" she asked as she passed
Helen's chair.
"Yes, Nora: you might bring me a
cup of coffee."
Nora left the room and Warren went
on eating sullenly.
"I wanted to go out to dinner to
night and I got home early on pur
pose. I didn't expect that your bridge
club extended to far into the evening."
For the first time Warren raised his
head and looked across at Helen.
She was wearing a little hat made
of flowers, and It was most becoming
to her.
"When did you get the hat?" he
I inquired.
"I made it." she confessed proudly.
"And do you know, dear, not a soul
suspected. Even Rouise raved over
it."
"1 have seats for that play you
wanted to see." he said testily .
"I'm so glad, Warren. You're a
dear."
Warren finished his pie and drank
his coffee. The room was filled with
lily of the valjey perfume that Helen
was very fond of and somehow he felt
somewhat mollified. He had never
seen a hat more becoming to Helen
than tho one she was wearing, and
then with a stab of remembrance he
thought of the bridge club and the
fact that be would probably have to
eat alone every Friday night. He was
about to resume his injured attitude
when Helen called to him from the
butler's pantry.
"Warren, do come out and watch
pussy. It's too dear for anything."
Warren pushed his chair away from
the table and went out into the
kitchen. He had determined not to
act, agreeably, but the sight of pussy
playing with a ball of worsted made
him smile.
"Wouldn't Winifred be delighted ifj
she saw this?" said Helen, turning a 1

"Not very much doubt of it," he said j
jovially. "Come on now. we don't!

Making Change
Experience, Capital, Enthu

By Prof. Harry R. Lewis
Head of the Department of Poultry
Husbandry of the New Jersey State
Agricultural Experiment Station.
COPYRIGHT, 1915.
Poultry raising seems to appeal
strongly to thousands of city men,
tired of .the nervous activity of busi
-1 iiess and the fixed income of n sal
aried iKisition. They sec prospects of
ccttlng In business for themselves, liv
ing close to nature, building up a for
tune, with ease.
Too often they fall to consider poul
try raising is h business just like sell
ing goods, or bookkeeping, and it takes
capital. knowledge and experience.
Hut this should not discourage them
from the enterprise, for they ran ob
tain all these by making the saciiilee
and effort.
Thousands have done so and suc
ceeded. Other-, can do likewise. The
lollowiiig article may make the road
more clear and certain:
"Shall I give up a city position to
raise poultry?" This question ex
presses the thoutrht in the mind of
many city men at the present time.
Back to the land and to nature is but
the wholesome craving of a whole
some heart. This question has been
put to me many a time in my official
capacity at the New Jersey State Ag
ricultural College. My answer to such
a query usually is. "Ask yourself the
following questions, 'Have I ample
capital with which to finance the en
terprise'." 'Have I enough training
and experience'." "And last but not
least, "Have I a personal liking and
adaptation for the work?' If the city
enthusiast can answer these questions
satisfactorily in the affirmative, then
he should not hesitate to make the
change. But how few are those who
can? The following discussion will
possibly result in aiding some in ans
wering these three pertinent questions,
and will also show ways and means of
correcting possible deficiencies. The
European war causing, as it is, higher
prices for foodstuffs and resulting in
the throttling of certain industries
will, I believe, make this question of
greater and greater importance to
certain classes of city workers.
How Much Capital
The amount of capital to be invested
in the farm and its equipment will de
pend upon the size of the venture, the
number of birds to be kept and the na
ture of the products to be produced, ft
will require from $3,000 to $5,000 to
buy and equip a small poultry farm of
approximately 10 acres to carry 300 to
500 birds. Which are enough birds for
any person of limited experience to
begin with the first year. Such an In
vestment will also require the keeping
of a reserve or cash balance of from
SSOO to SBOO to act as operating or
surplus capital. Many failures in the
poultry business can be traced to a
lack of capital, both as to the amount
expended in investment and by the
amount of cash kept in the bank
which can be used to operate the busi
ness. More capital than this amount
specified can be used to advantage, but
it is absolutely necessary to have tliat
much. Without adequate experience
and training it is rarely feasible for
the city man to borrow a considerable
quantity of money on mortgage to
supply this capital. The chances are
that lack of experience will result in
lower returns than anticipated.
The Necessary Kxperience
It is safe to say that more failures
in poultry farming are due to lack of
experience on the part of the one tak
ing care of the birds than any other
one cause. Multitudes there are who
wish to raise chickens, and many of
them think that it requires no special
knowledge. A little story in this con
nection will illustrate my point, and it
is but one of many sinlilar occurrences.
One day last week a young man who
had considerable money invested in
the clothing business in New York City
came into my office and told me that
he planned to start out in poultry
keeping this coming Spring and that
he had no general knowledge of the
work.
Questions brought out the, fact that
he bad no experience other than what
he had gained by reading the news
papers. I pointed out to him in a few
words the many problems which he
would have confront him in the man
agement of the poultry flock and tried
to force my point home. For one
tiling I asked him to consider our
(hanging places. 1 personally had no
experience in cutting clothes, nor
I could I hardly tell one kind of cloth

BUFF WYANDOTTES
By I.onis Paul (Graham
The coming 6f the Buff Wyandotte
was hailed with delight. It was intro
duced at the time the American breed
ers were enthusiastic for buff colored
fowls of all breeds and its popularity
quickly spread throughout the coun
try. The Wyandotte is one of the
most. If not the most, popular of all
American breeds. Their fine plump
formation, quick growth and maturity,
good egg-laying qualities and general
docility and adaptability to either con
finement or free range are a few of
the reasons for this popularity.
The Buff variety possesses all the
good utility trails of its white and col
ored cousins and has the plumage of
rich golden buff which is so much ad
mired by many fanciers.
It is very much bred to-day and
gives splendid results on utility poul
try farms and furnishes a fine breed
ing to many fanciers with a corre
sponding satisfaction when any one of
them produces an extra high class
specimen in shape and color.
to expect to go into the poultry busi
ness as it would be for me to go into
the tailoring business. Tho probabil
ity of sueess would be equal in either
case. The point was well taken, and
the voting man decided to follow my
suggestions and get some cxpei ience
before making the start. My advice to
him was that he should understand
thoroughly what was before him be
fore he decided to give up a good
position and a pay envelope at the
end of each month.
How to Get Start
There are many ways in which a
city man can gain poultry experience.
I would suggest the progressive steps
as follows: First, move to a subur
ban community and keep from eight
[to ten hens in the back yard. By
studying these closely much can be
learned. And what is even greater
than this, the man can learn whether
he is going to like the work or not.
Second, he should subscribe to a
number of reliable poultry papers and
read them intelligently and carefully.
He should not only read the news
items, but should study the advertise
ments and editorials carefully.
Third, he should secure a number
of reliable poultry books, of which
there are a number of excellent ones
on the market, and should read them
I carefully—with the idea of applying
the knowledge gained to the manage
! ment of the few hens in his yard.
Fourth, he should get in touch with
his State Experiment Station and re
quest their bulletins and circulars. He
should not hesitate to ask them ques
tions by correspondence, nor should
he fail to visit the college plant and
become acquainted with the experi
ments under way and the men in
charge. This work is at least in part
j supported by his faxes.
Fifth, he should get in touch
I through corespondence with the Fed
eral Department of Agriculture at
| Washington and request their pub-
I lished pertaining to poultry keeping.
! Sixth, he should visit successful
| poultry farms in his community. This
| is a good occupation for Saturday afl
-1 ernoons when work in the city is not
i pressing. He should come to know
j these men personally and become ac
quainted with their problems,
j Seventh, wherever possible get in
[touch with an educational poultry as

Buff Wyandottcs originated from
light colored Rhode Island Reds in
some instances: in others from Golden
Wyandottes run out in color. Some
Buff Cochin was used to perfect the
color and some White Wyandotte to
perfect the shape. The result is that
the Buff Wyandottes shown to-day are
almost perfection in shape and color.
The hens have always been consist
ent layers and steady fillers of the egg
basket. Many individuals and flocks
have made egg records that are to be
envied by other breeds. The chicks
are strong and vigorous, make rapid
growth, and are easily salable from
broiler size to maturity. Like all
Wyandottes the Buffs arc full breasted
and meaty with rather tine bone and
very little offal. This makes them de
servedly popular with the market
poultrymen and small breeder alike.
As a fancier's fowl they furnish a few
tine problems in breeding to produce
line specimens that not only have typ
ical Wyandotte shape but the real
golden buff color throughout.

are none get busy and form one. Such
co-operative action on the part of en

Eighth, Just before taking the final
1 plunge he should spend a winter tak
ing the short course in Poultry Hus
bandry at one of our State Agricul
tural Colleges. These courses are de
signed to give city men just enough of
Hie theoretical side to make practical
operations clear. If possible, a year
spent on a commercial poultry farm
has a material advantage.
The aliove scheme can be recom
mended for its soundness and ease of
attainment.

and seemed very anxious to do thi*
without any experience because, as
he said, he had SIO,OOO and could al
ford to lose some of It and still suc
ceed. Persistent argument changed
this man's determination and he de
cided to take the poultry course and
ito become acquainted with practical
! poultry problems. Now he is well lo
cated on a thirty-acre farm and two
years of experience has put him well
0 nthe road to success. 1 might quote
many such examples, from the ex
periences of our own students, which
would show the soundness of this ar
gument.
To summarize: I would not dis
courage the city man from going into
the poultry business, but I would earn
estly caution him against going into
the business unless he has had thor
ough experience, either at a short
course or on a practical farm or. bet
ter yet. both. This experience alone
will not insure success unless he has
capital enough to finance the enter
prise. M.v advice to the city man with
[a good position would be. to get the
fever, start along the lines above men
tioned, save up all the cash possible
from the city job. and at the same
time keep a few birds for the sake
of experience and to llnd out whether
he is the possessor of a natural liking
for such work.
Above) all things know what It
means to care for chickens; not keep
chickens, for ilirj should keep yon.
Preventing Losses
Among the Chicks
j The percentage of losses in poul
-1 try raising is perhaps larger than
in any other branch of animal hus
bandry. The prevention of these
losses therefore becomes one of
the most important branches of
poultry raising. .Statistics and ex- .
perience show that the greatest
losses occur among the young
chicks and it therefore requires
the most careful attention to the
flock in its early days to insure de
velopment and eventual profits.
The little chicks are most sus
ceptible to germ diseases, colds
and other ailments, but practically
all of them are preventable.
Next week's article will give
many suggestions on how to treat
this really big problem in poultry
culture. Look for it next Saturday
appearing exclusively in the Tele
graph.
