POULTRY CULTURE IN THE PIEOMONT CONDITIONS ARE IDEAL FOR THE INDUSTRY. Sketch of the Development of the i State’s Resources, Showing Increas ing Interest in Poultry Raising. The development of the vast re sources of the south during the past eight or ten years has been remark: able. While this is true all over the south, 1 shall write only about the conditions in my native State of South Carolina, and more especially the upper part of the State, the sec tion in which 1 live. This portion of the State, known as the Piedmont sec tion, through which runs the main trunk lina-^of the Southern railw.iy. has, no doubt, the very finest climate In the world, and is a delightful place the business in a business way. look- j ing after the details as closely as ; would the manager of a large manu-1 facturing or mercantile establishment. | and making it a point to do every-1 thing just a little better than others are doing, he cannot help but succeed. A poultryman should make it a rule never to make a promise which he cannot fulfill. Always do more than you pr inlse, rather tha., less. Small Flocks in Small, Ventilated Houses are Preferable. With reference to the manner of | housing iKjultry in South Carolina, it should be about the-same as in other States. In this climate it is noTneces sary to build double-walled houses; in fact, most of farmers allow their fowls to roost in (lie trees. However. I lo not advocate this. Alter several years’ experience in breeding high- clnss standard poultry. I find that small Hocks in small houses do bet- ! ter than large flocks in large douses. If I had 1,000 fowls I would divide them into flocks. Fowl need m<t be confined to houses in this climate. ! but it is necessary for them to have clean, dry, well ventilated houses in which to roost at night. I prefer a sin-le-wall house, built tightly on all sides, except the south. insure the comfort and health of your birds. It is poor economy to try to save money by neglecting to properly care for your fowls. You may thlnu you save a dollar by not keeping your houses well disinfected, but the neg lect may cost you hundreds of dollars. The cheapest and best investment 1 have ever made in my little plant was when, at considerable expense, I ran water pipes from the city water sup ply through my poultry yards, i placed a -dfigot between each two yards and an earthen drinking foun-j. tain served for the two pens. In mild, weather the water is allowed to drip all the time, which keeps the foun tains full of pure, fresh watqr. In cold weather the water is shut off, the > spigots are opened wide and the ar- rangemeiu is such that the water may he turned on from one point, enabling me to fill all the fountains at, one time; then all pipes are emptied and j there F no danger of the water freez-j ing and bursting the pipes. 1 find the dry method of feeding to ! be the best. A mixture of crack 1 corn, good wheat, a few oats, cane| >eed and a few sunflower seed is j thrown into the litter. Green bone or meat scraps should be fed eve*y; other day, a stnal! quantity for each; tunate In selecting as president Mr: j J. M. Connelly, of the J. M.

If it be an art it is the art of telling a story simply and convincingly. Nobody knows more about the strong qualities of an establishment than the proprietor who oversees it. Other things being equal, nobody should be ab’e to write more convinc ingly of the articles he of fers for sale. In a store where the employer sells goods side by side with his clerks It is me that tha employer will not be the best salesman. The reason is simple. He knows the goods from A to Z. He probably has pur chased them. He knows his aims. His arguments carq weight because they are convincing. The same arguments pre sented in the same way, with the same enthusiastic spirit, the same knowledge of detail, would attract new customers if presented through the advertising col umns of this paper.
