CHICKS FROM DYING IN THE SHELL 57 



Things to Remember 



The mongrel is a thing of the past in profitable poultry culture. 



It is the little things well looked after in the poultry business that 

 assures success. 



The eager, active, hungry hen is the profit maker. Lazy chickens, like 

 lazy people, are worthless. 



Things should not be done by halves in the poultry business. If it is 

 right, do it right; if it is wrong, leave it undone. 



The world is full of hopeless failures which could have been successes 

 had they devoted to real work one-half the energy devoted to complaining. 



If you have poor incubators, poor brooders and poor instructions, I 

 would advise you to let the poultry business alone, for failure is sure to be 

 the result. 



Do not buy poor musty grain just because you can get it cheap. It 

 lacks nutriment and often causes sickness in your flock, especially among 

 the young chicks. 



If you start in the poultry business and make a failure of it do not give 

 up in dispair, but find the cause and remove it if possible. Others have 

 succeeded, so can you. 



For a cold there is nothing better than a little kerosene in the water 

 you give your fowls. It removes the secretions in the head and removes 

 the phlegm in their throat. 



Lice multiply with wonderful rapidity, and unless checked, a hundred 

 will soon grow to a million. Conquer these before they get well started, if 

 you would avoid ruin to your poultry prospects. 



The common life of every day, with its cares, necessities, and duties, 

 afford ample opportunity for acquiring experience of the best kind and its 

 most beaten paths provide the most true worker with abundant scope for 

 effort and room for self improvement.
