Rules for Success 



The writer has often been asked what the requisites 

 are for success in egg-farming. This may vary with 

 different individuals. So far as his success is concerned 

 he attributes it to : 



First, never getting tired ; never being too tired to do 

 something that will add to the comfort and well-being of 

 the birds. 



Second, mastering the art or science of brooding chicks 

 and raising large numbers of pullets. 



Third, renewing at least 60 per cent of the flock each 

 year with young pullets. 



Fourth, concentrating on one particular branch of the 

 work and keeping everlastingly at it. 



Fifth, keeping accurate records and accounts so that 

 he knows at every stage of the work what the results are 

 in dollars and cents. 



Sixth, asking the giver of advice for his practical ex- 

 perience on a commercial scale before acting on it. 



Seventh, disregarding the clock so far as the 8-hour 

 day is concerned and working not only hard, but effi- 

 ciently, so that every minute is made to count and 

 neither time nor effort is wasted.
