SOME CAUSES OF FAILURE.
Reasons Why So Many Fail In the
Poultry Rusiness—The Rest Ad
vice to the Novice is: “Go Slow
at First.”
If there is any branch of agricul
ture or stock raising, or, in fact,
any line of industry that has attract
ed more widespread interest or en
gaged more devotees in recent years
than poultry raising, I am not able
to name it.
Thousands have gone into the
poultry business in some shape, and
if it has produced more failures than
any other branch of farm industry,
it is not strange.
In saying this I am not afraid of
discouraging the new enthusiasts,
for there are so many enjoying this
really delightful occupation and
pnintlngs its pleasures and prospec
tive profits for beginners that they
are sure to get a constant view of
the bright side.
Nevertheless, there have been
many failures, and the new-comers
will be better able to learn the se
crets of success and escape the dis
appointments of many who have
gone before if they have the causes
of former failures pointed out.
First of all the causes of a faulty
start and subsequent failure in poul
try raising is the fact that it looks
too easy.
Anybody can get a "rooster” and
a few hens, and most men and wo
men will consider it an insult to their
Intelligence to insinuate that they do
not know enough to raise chickens.
Yes, It looks too easy, and it really
is too easy to get into the business,
hence so many failures.
A few of the other causes of fail
ure are:
Lack of experience and knowledge
of the business; errors in feeding;
errors in buying feed; errors In car
ing for fowls; errors In housing the
birds; errors In choosing a breed suit,
able for a particular purpose; too
great expectations of big and imme
diate results; too small capital for
the work undertaken; faulty loca
tion: keeping and feeding drones, or
holding over fowls that should be dis
posed of; failure to get the best mar
ket and the best prices in the mar
ket.
Lack of experience Is placed first,
and really, in a sense, includes all the
other points in the list, for It is by
experience, and by that alone, tha
we cau come to know and appreclat
what is to be done and what avoid©
to make a success.
If you contemplate embarking i
the poultry business this sprlnj
study conditions, look to your ma
ket and see what is needed, read a
you can on poultry culture. We ar
none of us, too old to learn. Rea
mark, and inwardly digest, all y<
do read, but above all things, i
member Uncle Jo said: “Go slow
first.” UNCLE JO.
WHAT CAUSES ROUP?
There are two diseases, or t1
forms of one disease (probably t
latter), which are called “roup”
contagious catarrh, and diphtheri
roup or diphtheria.
Drafts, dampness and filth pr<
ably do not cause these diseases, 1
they are contributory to their dev
opment. These diseases are i
doubtedly germ diseases, and dap
ness and filth merely supply the ci
ditions favorable to the developin'
of the germs. It is possible, ind<
probable, that both diseases oe
without the predisposing causes m
tioned.
In treating this disease only
courses are open, with our pres
knowledge. Treat the individ
birds and give special care to t
roundings, preferably change the
cation of the birds, or kill the bl
that contract the disease just
soon as they show symptoms i
then give the same care to disinf
ing or changing their quarters at
the first place.

This is the average yearly income of one
Oregon farmer — over and above all ex
penses. It is a fair example of the good
living that can be made off of small acre
age in the
