INTRODUCTION 
A LIVING FROM EGGS AND POULTRY 
The book is not intended to be a scientific 
exposition of the chicken business further 
than a diagnosis of the business methods ap- 
plying to the business if going into the 
details of those methods, might be called 
scientific. 
It is possible to make a success of the 
chicken business without any knowledge of 
the chemical analysis of the egg, the chicken 
or the chicken feed. 
It is conceded of course that the more 
knowledge one has of every possible detail 
entering into his business the more likeli- 
hood is there of that one’s success; but we 
must creep before we walk. 
No one can expect to be thoroughly con- 
versant with the practical as well as the 
scientific elements pertaining to a business 
at the time he first enters that business, and 
for this reason business of any kind becomes 
more interesting. 
The happiness of life is derived from ever 
reaching out from one pleasure or attainment 
to a new one.
