Excerpt from First Lessons in Poultry Keeping: First Year Course People fail in poultry keeping because they take hard and laborious ways of doing things that may be done easily; or because they entirely omit some necessary though simple feature of the work; or because they are. Irregular and spasmodic in carrying out a routine which theoretically is all that it should he. Nine out of ten who have read this far will be ready to say Why, that is all very easy anyone can do that from the start. It is right there that nine out of ten go wrong. An occupation involving many simple opera tions becomes complex if one and the same person has to carry on many of these Operations simultaneously; and that is just the condition we have in poultry keeping.
