There are many partnership affairs
which are very satisfactory and re-
munerative, and others which are We Y
much the reverse.
If there Is an uneas'ness under the
collar in any kind of partnership af-
fair, the fact that 1t takes a trip to
there is no release possible, gives an
added grind and drudgery to the whole
situation.
In most bus ness partnerships an
agreement may be terminated after
some loss and hard feelings have / cen
experienced. In the partnership con-
cern named in this article, there is
every poss bility of successful bus
ness, if few simple rules are obeyed
by the one who puts in the money.
In the first place he must be content
to be the silent partner. The madam
in the case will do all the talking
necessary, or at least all she tn nks Is
necessary, which is os'en the care in
other cases. A boy once asked his
father how many words there are in
the English language. 'fWel, son, |
don't know, but have sometimes cone
home late and your mother has used
them ali, but l had no time to count
them"
1t is well in this business to let the
head of the firm do all the talking, and
above all things don't ever contradict
or try to drive her to do what she
doesn't want to do. II you do beat
her out once she will take reTenge on
you a dozen times. l mean the hen
will, not the woman partner. oh, no.
There is no doubt about the wisdom of
each family going into partnership with
a few hens, say one or two dozen; for
the table scraps and veget able leavngs
from the kitchen, with lawn clippings,
will furnish much necessary food with
out COST and with some grain of vari-
Gus kinds the flock will provide food
of the highest quality for the table at
less than half the cost of that pur-
chased at the stores.
One woman reported a cash income
of S35 in August from 100 pullets and
hens which she had raised, starting
with seven hens January /. The cost
of feed during that month had teen 81.
OF course. considering the season. this
is a remarkably good record, but If
they had produced half as many eg IS
she would still be making money.
If you enter into the firm of Madam
Hen & Co. after a careful stu1y of tie
subject and have stock of the best
quality of the breed you may fancy
you will find that many eggs for hatch
ing may be sold at good prices or
chicks Matched in an incubator and sold
for good money, and it is no uncom
mon thing for a flock of hens to yield
an income of So a hen for years busi-
ness, thus giving some one a nice little
sum of money to use for extras or to
invest where it VIII make more in the
same, or some other line.
One of the pleasant features about
this partnership is that it can be ter
minated at any time on short notice
without any court action and you will
not lose money in gu ck sale, but wi
be able to realize 100 cents on the dol
lar. All poultry products, either eggs
or stock, will bring cash at any time.
There is a feature of this business
in which we had some experience many
years ago, and that is the keeping of
bantams. Almost all varieties of ban
tams are good layers, may be kept in
small yards, will do very little damage
to flowers if allowed to run at large
part of the time and make very in
teresting pets.
There are a number of var eties of
