THE BEGINNER IN POULTRY 



An illustration from the life of to-day will show ex- 

 actly what is meant. Not far from my home, a large 

 contract job is being done. A public building is being 

 moved, and a larger main part put up adjoining. I 



have heard contract 

 building or contract 

 jobs in general re- 

 ferred to as " the 

 biggest gamble in 

 business life." In 

 this specific contract 

 work, the roof was 

 removed from this 

 large building of 

 which I speak, the 

 shingles being de- 

 posited in a heap 

 near by. The lot 

 is rather small for 

 the proposed build- 

 ing, which may be a 

 part of the reason 

 for the way things 

 work out. What- 

 ever the reasons, the 

 fact is that the heap of shingles has already been moved 

 three times, and is now so located that it must inevitably 

 be handled at least once more. Somebody, then, pays 

 for four handlings, 'when one would be sufficient under 

 proper management. Inefficiency, here, traces directly 

 to the man in charge. If you will study different cases, 

 will you not find that inefficiency always traces to some 

 man or men back of the zvork ?
