Overview

Excerpt from Success With Poultry in California Rules are for the child; the man asks to know the reason for them; instruo tions are arbitrary and will not always fit conditions. In the nature of things, we must learn from others, but our real knowledge is the product of experience. Poultry raising is not a kind of happy-go-lucky venture; it is not a quick and short road to fortune; there is no knack of feeding or secret of breeding or management, and blame for failure to make it pay should not be laid upon the seemingly perverse fact that now hens will lay and now they won't. The hen is not a lawless creature; it is only a question of understanding her of studying her under confinement and as effected by restraint, by different foods, by changes of temperature, by over - feeding, by crowding and bad air. She is an egg layer; this is her business under the changes effected by domestication and breeding, and success will come from knowing how to treat her, how to house and feed her and how to work with her along the line of her especial and distinguishing function as a nervous, sensitive, highly developed organism for the production of eggs.
