biggest comfort ever when affairs
looked pretty rocky, was OF course,
nv wife. 1t was practically a tore
gone conclusion that, with such
PARTNER. the business would ultimately
prove successful. The man who has
wife who is clever and worker,
fond Of the business and ambitious
as himself to succeed in 1T; has at
the start a wonderful advantage over
the man not so fortunately provided.
But we had much to learn and we
had to learn it by hard knocks. The
confined knowledge of the hrm,
though we did not know it at the
time, was a detriment to us and had,
most of it, to be unlearned as we
went along. Former experience rails
ing the usual scrub barnyard bunch
of fowls on middle west farm did
us more harm than good. We had TO
grope our way out into the light OF
new and scientific methods and OF
course we generally failed to separate
the wheat from the cbaf and to make
the right selection from the immense
amount of experimental data and
paper theory that fairly swamped us.
What was our first serious mistake!
Starting with the wrong variety OF
fowls, of course. From so many it
was not to be expected that we would
pick the right one at the start.
Now l can't lay too much stress
upon the fact that there is almost as
much difference between some varle-
ties of chickens as there is between
a chicken and a dog. We had not
yet bumped against that dear old
piece of foolish advice-"keep the
variety you like the best' but having
