SUCCESS IN POULTRY CULTURE 
Stop in the middle of an important 
sentence, if necessary to a full compre- 
hension of its meaning. 
Subscribe for a good poultry paper, 
read and digest its contents, and don’t 
believe it all. 
After you have read and digested an 
article in a poultry book or paper, proceed 
to debate it in your own mind, and you 
will soon be able to separate the wheat 
from the chaff. 
To read an article does not mean to 
glide over it, like a proof-reader, who 
looks for nothing but typographical errors, 
but to grasp the thought that inspired it. 
Confine yourself to one breed. 
Use a little horse sense. 
Follow the manufac- 
turer’s instructions in set- 
ting up and running an incubator. 
An incubator should always set level. 
Run the incubator a day or two before 
putting in the eggs. 
You should be able to maintain an even 
temperature of about 103° F. before put- 
ting in the eggs. 
Keep the thermometer in the same 
place in the incubator all of the time.
