A prominent poultry raiser says; A
common cause OF failure, which Is II
part the cause of by far the greater
number OF failures in poultry keeping
is a lack Of suficient capital. Any
business undertaken with insufficient
capital is heavily handicapped at the
start. In poultry keeping it is almost
the rule for men to begin with an
amount available capital which is
insignificant In proportion to the
amount actually required by theii
plans. Those supposed authorities
on poultry keeping, who have SO in
dustriously preached that the poultry
business requires smaller capital and
will yield larger returns on the in.
