SUCCESS ON POULTRY FARM
Business Tactics Far and Above

Business tactics on a hen farm

In particular. When above everything
else it's the most important. Strange.
indeed, is the fact that when people
fail at everything else they will take

everything else before they tackle the
hen business. Visions of a cool piaz-

en- simoleons roll back into ones Gel

the comforts and easy life of unlim-
tied wealth during the winter season !;
of this ilk are the pipe dreams of the
novice, and failures without number
continue and nine times out Of Ten al
because the woul6-be farmer does not
know even common finance. To raise
chickens or to produce eggs at any
old time. to keep coops and land in
the sweetest of condition does not
mean success by long shot. but Of
course should be practiced; yet W n
out business tactics and knowle &c
of the worth of dollars and cent one

or thorough. In short, business Is
not a business unless run like busi-
