EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF
POULTRY FOODS.

Experience is the best teacher every
time. 1t is fortunate that all do not

1t Is not necessary that every poultry
keeper should use all the various f. DDS

would count from this start until the man touched the

Additional safeguards could be introduced here. If

If he moved the chalk slowly the number was even
The advantage of this great for while the young
woman might be counting slightly faster than stand

slow stroke of the chalk at this point would correct
her and settle her at six.
Still another refinement of the system was now
approached. dead pause of nine or ten SECONDS on
a stage is dangerous. The sceptcal and the know

are remarkably long others are very short To over

There remained after all this the necessity for
