One question gives rise to .several otiiers. Are all failures due to the same reasons? Is it the breeder or his method of management that brings on his bad luck? I dislike that expression "bad ; There is no such tiling as bad luck in the poultry business, except in rare instances. Things don't iiappen. They are as one makes them. If you want to that expression " luck," here is a good definition of it : " Bad luck " is simply a man .standing around with his hands folded and idly letting his work go on as easily as jjossible and waiting for success to come along and catch hold of him, while good luck is that which comes to the man who gets up and does something, , the man who makes his work count by diligent applica- tion of the business principles to the principal business of his life. Ill regard to Glenbnxik Farm. I .-^hmild say there are no mysteries in connection with the management; every condition which contribntes to its success are availaljle to others. It is the first three or four years which tlie stabilitv of sucli undertakiuLis, and these who can negotiate that period, are ahnost assured of success. In conclusion, I sliouhl state tliat it was with difficuhy I prevailed on Mr. McComb to allow the place to be described, his fears being that the publicity given to tlie farm may increase tlie visitors to an extent which might interfere with tlie routine of the place. A few visitors are, liow- ever, always welcome, and especially so if tliey abstain from putting the stereotyped ipiery, "Does it pay?" l^S '^^. Please note t
