Why 1 hey Fail.
A lot of people rush Into the poultry
business without any capital or experi
ence, and the consequence is—failure.
They read of the success of others, and
Imagine they can do as well, without
considering for one moment that they
are not equipped for the venture. So
many people start out on a scale that
Is nothing short of ridiculous. To the
amateur poultryman we have this to
say: Do not quit your job arid expect
to make a living with poultry the first
year.
The best way to start in the poultry
business on a large scale is to start
with only a few, learn all you can
about chickens, and then try to breed
all the good birds you can take care of
without crowding the first year. If,
at the end of the year you are satisfied
to go ahead, and have enough money
on hand to get everything ready for a
larger breeding flock, as well as to car
ry you through the year for the neces
saries of life, then you might quit your
job and start in; but remember, that
this first year is what counts. You
learn whether you have a taste for the
business, and get a pretty good Idea of
raising poultry. The second year you
should be able to produce a flock large
enough to enable you to go into It
more heavily, and with ordinary suc
cess you should make a good living off
of 500 bens.
We would strongly advise you. when
starting, to be governed by the follow
ing rules: First, start with the best
to be had; second, decide what you de
sire to breed for—eggs or meat; third,
get one variety, and stay with It. If
tou breed only one variety you can
soon, by advertising t) little and ex
hibiting your birds, tnake .1 reputation
on them, and sell a good lot at good
prices, while the rest can go to market.
Do not start with the Idea that you can
sell all you breed at fancy prices, for
you will not be able to do so for some I
time. To earn a reputation for your
fowls, you must advertise for at least
one year before you can expect much
return. The poultryman who succeeds
In selling all his fowls at good prices Is
the man who has spent years In the
poultry business and many dollars in
advertising.—raclfic Toultryman.
