writer seen more thorough cooper
alton exercised between competitors
in the same line of business than
was shown by these poultrymen,
talking sometimes in their own,
again in a neighbors and later on in
a strangers poultry yards. If one
man had a season in which his pro-
fits were severely cut by reason of
tapeworms interfering with the pro-
duction from the poultry, and then
found a way to overcome his trou-
BILE, he freely and fully told the Wis
iting poultrymen all about how he
had solved the problem and answer
ed every question they might ask as
to treatment, feeding, sanitary mea-
sures in the houses and yards and
anything else that might occur. If
another man had found that more
eggs were obtained by following a
certain formula in rations and all the
rest, he willingly told all the other
important poultrymen OF the State
in this group how he did it so they
could benefit by his experience. And
were the visitors interested? From
morning until evening they fired
question after question until all the
problems that had been worrying
them throughout a year were total
ly or partially answered.
Those who are intimately inter
ested in poultry would not ask here
for details as to treatment, feeding,
housing, marketing etc. That's what
they went on the trip to get and re-
ceiyed in liberal quantity. Neither is
it worth while to print again the
names of all the farms which were
visited and tabloid information OF
what happened there. Much of this
has already appeared before IN tne
local press. There are teW Incl
dents, however, that might be OF IN
terest to the reader, Whether OF noI
he is a poultry farmer.
