Helen heard Warren's key with tre
pidation. She still held the veil pin
her hand and determined to make
a clear breast of the whole thing;
the made no effort at all to hide it.
"Well, how's everything?" Warren
remarked breezily stooping over her
as she raised her face to his.
"Now, what's the matter?" he que
ried, noticing her worried frown,
which she tried to change into a smile
at his words.
For an answer she held up the
Pin- "Don't you remember, dear?"
"Can't say that I do; what pin Is
it? A present for someone?"
"No, Warren, it isn't a present.
Don't you remember I have had trou
ble enough with the thing. lam sure
I'd never forget what it looked like."
Warren still looked blank, and
Helen with a little shake of her
shoulders flashed the pin before his
eye«, and remarked dramatically:
"It belongs to Mrs. Thurston!"
"Mrc. Thurston? Whew, now I do
remember. Where did you find it?"
"Nora found It under the dresser a
long time ago, and had put it in my
desk drawer. Of course, she forgot
to teU tpe about it."
Helen was talking quite glibly now,
conscious that Warren was in an un
usually good humor and taking ad
vantage of the fact.
"I remember now how I lit into
her. too," Warren continued. "Well,
what are you going to do about it?"
"Take it back to her, of course."
"Take it back! Why not send it?
That would be an easier way out, I
should 'think."
Warren Can't Quite Understand It All
"I know, but it would give her
twice as much chance to talk."
Warren grinned. "Well, I don't
envy you your job."
"But Warren, is it true that they
have moved into cheaper apart
ment ?"
"Yes, It's true ail light; Thurston
lost a lot of money the beginning of
the winter. I think he was plunging.
I liked that fellow. It's a pity he
had to be chained to a woman like
that?"
"Maybe she's changed." said Helen,
willing to be magnanimous.
'Well, that's a good one," remarked
Warren, slapping his knee and burst
ing out into a peal of laughter.
"I «uppose you're all ready to for
give her atnd take her back as a
fritfnd. as long as she is willing to
overlook the episode of the pin."
"Not at all, said Helen, indignantly;
"but I certainly am sorry for her. I
know how she must feel, having to
move away from her circle of friends,
and I'm going to be nice to her if
she'll let me."
"Ail right. Go ahead and let me
know what success you have." said
Warren. "Do you know where they
live now?"
"The addres is in this book. Look
It up while I look over the paper." ,
Helen copied the address on one of
her visiting cards and slipped it into

PITFALLS IN POULTRY BUSINESS
MAY BE AVOIDED BY BEGINNERS

COPYRIGHT. 1915.
PARTRIDGE COCHINS
The Partridge Cochin is a descend- i
ant of the Shanghai, which was the '
aristocrat of poultrydom in the early |
days of pure bred poultry culture in |
America. The Shanghais were later j
known as Cochin Chinas, and later!
still as Cochins. There were yellow, I
gray and red-vellow; the gray entered |
into the production of the dark
Brahma, and the reds, which had
black in their plumage, were progeni
tors of the present Partridge Cochins.
Because the plumage of the hen re- j
sembled that of the grouse, this va
riety was originally called the Part
ridge Grouse Cochin. In 1847 some
fine specimens were imported from
England, and gave impetus to the
breeding of this variety, which now
reaches its finest development here.
Bad Locations, Poor Stock,
Improper Equipment and
Lack of Care Are Often
Causes of Failure
Advisability to Start in a
Small Way and Learn From
Experience Right Be
ginning Important
By Reese V. Hicks
Former President of the American
Poultry Association, and now Gen
eral Manager of Rancocas Poultry
Farms, Browns Mills, N. J.
COPYRIGHT, 1915.
Success with poultry depends largely
upon the location and equipment of
the plant and upon the care given the
stock. In this article Mr. Hicks tells
what the pitfalls of poultry-keeping ■
are and how they may he avoided.
His advice Is based upon many years
of successful experience as a poultry- j
mail.
IN" any line of business there are
failures. These failures occur often
through the want of experience or
natural adaptability of the man at
the head of the business. In no line
Is failure more often attributed to the
man himself than in poultry-keeping.
Not everyone is fitted to be a success
ful raiser of poultry. This requires a
real liking for poultry and Its care,
a critical eye to every detail, and a
painstaking disposition to attend to
these details.
Provided the poultry raiser is equip
ped by nature with these necessities
for success, the most common cause of
failure is want of actual experience in
raising poultry. This lack of experi
ence is the foundation of many of the
other causes that contribute to losses.
Through experience anyone not nat
urally adapted to poultry raising can
become successful and thus overcome
handicaps. Lack of experience causes
the greatest stumbling blocks In the
business, namely:
Selection of improper location.
Keeping poor stock.
Starting with the wrong breeds.
Equipping with poor and Improper
equipment.
Too extensive building*.
Too large a plant.
Want of proper marketing methods.
Neglect of the details.
The person with experience, even If
limited, avoids these stumbling blocks.
They never trouble him to any appre
ciable extent because he knows In ad
vance how to reduce these troubles to
a minimum. The right beginning is
more than half of success in poultry
raising. But the man without experi
ence gets such hard bumps that he is
unable to survive financially or else
becomes discouraged and gives up
poultry raising before he has given it
a thorough trial.
Study to Overcome Inexperience
The beginner In any kind of work is
usually optimistic because It is human
nature to see the sunny side In the
future rather than to see the discour
agements offered. The inexperienced
does not know of the pitfalls that are
to be avoided, but he can readily see
the opportunities for profit and pleas
ure because these appear on the sur
face. Inexperience can be overcome
largely by reading books and papers
on the subject of poultry, by studying
the poultry business as taught by
schools and colleges, and, finally, by
HARRISBURG rfSKfe TELEGRAPH
j The fowls attain enormous size, weigh
( ins " to 9Vt pounds for females and
9 to 11 pounds for males.
They are regarded as the best lay
-1 ors of all the Cochin family, and are
1 esteemed for the production of capons.
| Their handsome coloration makes
I them favorites with the fanciers.
As a utility fowl the Partridge
Cochin has always been preferred to
other Cochins. It has the reputation
of being a better layer, and is equally
j handsome when dressed. It has yel
low skin and legs and the eggs are
rich dark brown, the color which is
preferred by both Boston and Phila
delphia markets. The chicks are rug
ged and grow fast, although, like all
other Asiatics, they take a long time
.to mature.
! actual experience or practice on a lim
-1 ited scale at first.
I It may be that the Inexperienced can
; and thoroughly post himself so
I he can get fair results in the actual
practice, especially if he will start on
I a small scale, yet his mistakes will be
a serious handicap to his highest suc-
I cess and to real profits until he ac
| quires practical knowledge. It is not
necessary that the practice or ex
i perience be on a large scale at first.
I In tact. it is best that the beginner
| start on a small scale and gradually
i enlarge his poultry raising establish-
I ment as he learns the business. He
j may get experience on a large scale
at a practical poultry farm where he
can learn the methods employed for
j doing the work he wants to engage in.
: Alany farms take such pupils.
Improper Location Often Fatal
Improper location of the poultry
plant is a common cause of failure.
This, of course, grows out of want of
experience. Locations that are damp,
exposed to cold, chilly northern winds,
and those that are Inaccessible to a
I good market are among those that
i are not suitable for raising poultry and
i should be avoided.
j Often a beginner wants to start on
too large a scale, a scale too large in
. proportion to his experience; or he
puts too much of his investment in
buildings. The beginner is too much
inclined to have his buildings look
showy and nice. Too often he has
some, peculiar ideas about the style
and design of the new establishment.
Practical experience would show these
are not best. All these peculiarities
and extras cost money, and the inter
est on the Investment cannot be made
over the running expenses. It is well
established among poultrymen that I
the housing of hens should run from I
75 cents to $1.35 per hen, with $1 as
a fair average. Anything over this is
a waste of money, unless the object of
the investor Is simply to make a show
display, not to be charged against the
| business.
. Improper equipment and too expen
[ sive equipment result in some failures. I
| All equipment such as hovers, brood-
I ers and incubators should be simple
J but at the same time substantial.
While it • does not pay to buy the I
I cheapest, yet the other extreme is 1
| equally detrimental. Complicated I
equipment requires more attention,
and generally does not give as good
results as simpler appiiances.
Taking up new methods and untried
fads causes some to fail In raising
poultry. It Is far better to follow in
the beaten parts than to strike off on
a new road that Is likely to have fail
ure at the end.
Select the Right Breed
The selection of poor foundation
stock, or a breed that is not practical
,to raise, wUI seriously injure the
I chances for success. If eggs are the
j object, the poultrvman should select
, a breed that has a known reputation
; for high production at an economical
| cost, and this means a breed that is
j ppoular among those successful in the
business of producing eggs for mar
! ket. If the poultryman desires to raise
I a few fowls for his own use, he could
not do better than to take-one of the
breeds known as the "all purpose"
breeds.
No matter what his object in mak
ing his selection, the breeder phould
be sure that his foundation stock is
adapted to the purpose for which he
wishes it. He should buy of a reli
able, established breeder, one who
knows how to breed his flock up to
the highest efficiency for the purpose
desired. By selecting such a breeder,
the beglnher has the man's reputation
to insure him strong, rugged founda
tion stock. It is most important that
the foundation stock be in rigorous
health and not impaired, either

As the buyer must rely largely on
the representations of the seller, he
should buy only from those who have
a reputation to sustain.
After the start in poultry raising
has been made by securing proper
buildings and proper flock, there
comes the care of the poultry. Here
Is where experience counts most. The
greatest common cause of failure in
the care of the plant may be cited un
der the general heading of neglect of
details. This embraces everything
from cleanliness in the incubator cellar
to the proper maturing of chicks, and
the culling of the matured fowls.
Yards and houses must be kept clean
and sanitary. Incubators must be
sprayed. Hovers and brooders must
be nice and fresh. In every depart
ment cleanliness is the keynote of suc
cess. Neglect of cleanliness opens the
way for diseases of various kinds. Dis
eases are not really the first cause of
failure, but are only the result of neg
lect of cleanliness. There cannot be
too much care in keeping clean every
artiola that has anything to do with
raisin* poultiy. Thi* includes every
thing from disinfecting drinking foun
tain to selevth.g clean and wholesome
feeds.
Regular Attention Essential
Wnnt of legu'arlty in carrying out
the system of poultry raising is often
the cause of failure. Regular hours
should be had for giving the fowls or
young chicks e.tten):on. Definite hours
for feedinc. watering, gathering the
eggs, closing the houses for the night,
cleaning, disinfecting and for all other
work are absolutely necessary.
Failure with poultry is due often to
inability to raise a sufficient percent
age of chicks. This often is a combi
nation of other causes. It may be due
to poor foundation stock. It may be
caused by careless methods of incti
batlon, want of proper attention, or
the stock may be rugged and the eggs
properly incubated, but lack of care
in the details of feeding, etc., may re
sult in big losses among the chicks.
In raising chicks, regularity and great
attention to every detail are most im
portant.
Want of a suitable market or easy
access to one, has caused some good
poultry prospects to fail. Before one
starts to raise poultry extensively the
question of marketing the products
should be investigated thoroughly.
Foods Required
For Growing Poultry
Next week Prof. Harry R. Lewis,
of the New Jersey Agricultural Ex
periment Station, will discuss the
kinds of food required for growing j
poultry. He will tell how to secure
regular and rapid development of
young stock and tell what the best
feeds are and how to use them. His
tables of the food values of grains,
etc., will enable poultrymen to
compound economical and efficient
rations. Watch for Prof. Lewis'
article, exclusively in the Telegraph

There always will he a market {.or
poultry products of high quality, but.
as in many other lines, there is often
an over-production of inferior grades
in eert&tn localities. As the range of
prices throughout the seasons are
strong factors in marketing poultry in
any given locality, these should be
studied for a series of years, in order
that a general average may be ob

While it is true that there are fail

other lines, yet the percentage is no
