not every person or any person can
make it pay. The reason for all these
wrong ideas is that they have made
their plunge" without reasoning out
business must be worked out and stud
led continuously to succeed.
In gathering material for this arti-
Gle, the writer visited the poultry
yards of many successful and many
unsuccessful poultrymen. In the yards
of those that were successful the first
thing that attracted his attention was
the cleanliness of both houses and
yards. One breeder in particular used
lime so that it looked as II the drop
ping boards were concrete. He did
not sprinkle the lime around in heaps,
as is commonly done, but he dipped
broom In the lime and then swept the
boards off. The result was that ev-
erything was cleaned in an attractive
way, and the lime was not so easily
stirred up. If lime is sprinkled in lit
tie heaps and the fowls become ex-
cited, they are liable to stir it up so
they can hardly breathe. IL this hap
pens, 1t will seriously retard the
growth of young chickens. The yards
of this breeder were swept every
morning when the weather conditions
were favorable. OF course, that part
which he was cultivating for green
food was not disturbed or the part he
mad reserved for dust baths. When
he had all the rubbish swept up, ne
did not pile it in some corner, but 1t
was burned Immediately. Here lies
one of the secrets Of his success.
The next point that was noticed was
that every man had thoroughbred
stock. Some had paid as high as $40
per bird. This does not seem high
to the professional poultryman, but
when the average person reaches
the point where he is willing to pay
that much, it shows he realizes what
is needed to make a success. When
one visits a poultry yard and finds
fine. thoroughbred stock he invariably
becomes a friend of the owner. The
birds are not only pleasing to the eye,
but they actually earn their salt.
it has been said that thoroughbred
bird requires less care, feed and
equipment to make a success than a
