Excerpt from The ABC of Poultry Culture: A Thoroughly Practical and Original Book by a Practical Breeder, Especially Designed for BeginnersAnother requisite, and a very important one, too, is a deter mination to succeed, and a will to hold on through all discourage ments. Some call it grit, others backbohe, others nerve. But, even with the stoutest will, and most resolute determination, a man will fail if he is unfitted for the work. And when he dis covers himself in this predicament, the best thing to do is to give it up. And, when he gives it up he should acknowledge that he has not the necessary capabilities that breeding fowls is not his forte and not declare, as is usually the case, that the poultry business is a fraud and a humbug, and that there is no profit in it. If a person really loves fowls, and thinks the care of them a pleas ure instead of a burden, then success may be attainable if a profit is the end and aim. The one who keeps a few fowls for pleasure is not to be taken into consideration in considering the requisites of a successful breeder. The man who keeps fowls for pleasure only, may not know much about them, but if he persists in keeping them he will either develop into a genuine fancier. Or keep them just long enough to' become thoroughly disgusted with them, and clear them off his place. This action will result from a neglect of details, however small, and be proof of incompetence to master the common sense methods required in a poultry yard.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
