10 POULTRY SECRETS REVEALED. 



At certain times of the year, notably at the close of the hatching 

 season, the beginner may often take advantage of bargain sales. The 

 females purchased at such sales may not lay many eggs the following 

 year; but if mated to a vigorous cockerel, the few eggs they do lay 

 will be of high value. 



The beginner must needs expect discouragements. But he should 

 remember that it is only in the school of adversity that one wins the 

 highest honors. Poultry keeping is an honorable, healthful and profit- 

 able business. Properly managed there is nothing that will yield 

 better returns for the time and money invested.
