since the first efforts have been successful, and it is reason- 

 able to suppose that a much larger business could be handled 

 successfully. 



Fresh eggs and broilers can be supplied the market, or a 

 business can be made of supplying the demand for baby 

 chicks in the vicinity; or one could branch out, advertise 

 more, send day-old chicks and hatching eggs throughout the 

 country, and develop a business on pure bred stock by selling 

 them in trios, pens, etc. After one breed has been handled 

 a while, proficiency in judging the merits of the breed will 

 come. Because of this, you are in a position to select the 

 best of your stock to fill orders, to make up breeding pens, 

 or fit the birds for the show room. Here a reputation may 

 be gained that will put you among the foremost breeders of 

 your variety. This cannot be done in a day, but persistent 

 efforts are sure to bring their rewards. There is a mighty 

 advertising influence gained by the winning of the blue rib- 

 bons. Some breeders have been so fortunate in the show 

 room in winning so many prizes that very little advertising 

 was necessary to sell all their stock. 



POSSIBILITIES OF THE HEN 



The hen has possibilities, for you never know where she 

 will lead you. One thing is certain, and that is hard work, 

 carefulness, and caution are bound to succeed. I know of 

 one man in particular who started on a small scale, but who 

 has succeeded year by year until at present he has a fine plant 

 and is doing a nice business. In fact, I am acquainted with 

 several men who have started in a small way, and who by 

 their careful and industrious habits have built large chicken 

 farms from a very small start. Put the hen against time and 

 labor and she will never fail. Stick to the hen, and work and 

 care will be crowned with success. ^
