ARE THEY WORTH SAVING? 



Mr. Haviland Saves 28 Chicks in One Hatch. 



Fully one-third of all the chickens ready to hatch die in 

 the shell. After 30 years' study and practice we have dis- 

 covered a simple way to save every chick that is fully de- 

 veloped and ready to hatch, whether the egg is pipped or 

 not. This, we believe, is one of the lost arts of the ancient 

 Egyptians. It takes but a minute to save a chick, and no 

 skill required. Note Mr. Haviland's success: 



Dear Sirs:— Brookville, Md., Feb. 27, 1908. 



I received my copy of the Philo System at noon, the last 



hour of the 21st day for my incubator, containing 172 fertile 

 eggs. About 100 were out of the shell and about 30 of the- 

 remainder were still alive, some pipped. According to di- 

 rections with our hot-air machine these were worthless. 

 We immediately proceeded according to "A Trick of the 

 Trade " in your book and hatched them all, even one that 

 showed signs of life after laying in a garbage-pail for some 

 time. We still have 128 chicks three days old; lost but two. 

 Many of the eggs were three or four weeks old when set. 

 Respectfully, E. W. Haviland. 



$200 IN SIX MONTHS FROM 20 HENS 



To the average poultryman that would seem impossible, 

 and when we tell you that we have actually done a $500.00 

 poultry business with 20 hens on a corner in the city garden, 

 30 feet wide by 40 feet long, we are simply stating facts. It 

 would not be possible to get such returns by any of the 

 systems of poultry-keeping recommended and practiced by 

 the American people, still it is an easy matter when the 

 new PHILO SYSTEM is adopted. 



The Philo System is Unlike all other Ways of Keeping 

 Poultry 



and in many respects is just the reverse, accomplishing 

 things in poultry work that have always been considered 

 impossible, and getting unheard-of results that are hard to 

 believe without seeing; however, the facts remain the same 

 and we can prove to you every word of the above statement. 



The New System Covers all Branches of the Work Neces- 

 sary for Success 



from selecting the breeders to marketing the product. It 

 tells how to get eggs that will hatch, how to hatch nearly 

 every egg, and how to raise nearly all the chicks hatched. 

 It gives complete plans in detail how to make every thing 

 necessary to run the business, and at less than half the cost 

 required to handle the poultry business in any other man- 

 ner. There is nothing complicated about the work, and 

 any man or woman that can handle a saw and hammer can 

 do the work. 



Two-pound Broilers in Eight Weeks 



are raised in a space of less than a square foot to the broiler 

 without any loss, and the broilers are of the very best qual- 

 ity, bringing here three cents per pound above the highest 

 market price. 



Our Six Months' Old Pullets are Laying at the Rate of 24 

 Eggs Each Per Month 



in a space of two square feet for each. No green cut bone 

 of any description is fed, and the food used is inexpensive 

 as compared with food others are using. 



Our new book, the Philo System of Progressive Poultry 

 Keeping, gives full particulars regarding these wonderful 

 discoveries with simple, easy-to-understand directions that 



are right to the point, and 15 pages of illustrations showing- 

 all branches of the work from start to finish. 



Our New Brooder Saves Two Cents on Each Chicken 



No lamp required. No danger of chilling, overheating, or 

 burning up the chickens as with brooders using lamps or 

 any kind of fire. They also keep all lice oft the chickens- 

 automatically, or kill any that may be on when placed in 

 the brooder. Our book gives full plans and the right to- 

 make and use them. One can be easily made in an hour at 

 a cost of 25 to 50 cents. 



Bear Sir:— River Falls, Wis., March 16. 1908. 



I am well pleased with your system in poultry-keeping- 

 We have more than doubled our egg production. 



Yours truly, J. C. Thavkr. 



Oentlemen: — Ligonier, Ind., Jan. 24, 1908. 



Some time ago I ordered your book, Philo System, an<i 

 your paper. Want to say I am highly pleased with them. 

 Never in my life have I received so much for so little money. 

 It is a very comprehensive treatise indeed. Your methods 

 are so simple that a child might follow them. 



Yours truly, J. Bert McConnbll. 



Oentlemen:— R. F. D. 1, Melrose Park, 111. 



Your publication, the Philo System, at hand, and, after 

 careful comparison, must say that without doubt or hesita- 

 tion that more boiled-down, good common sense and natural 

 facts and instruction are condensed in the pages of your 

 book than in all I have tried (to learn) and read the date- 

 Yours with best wishes, Geo. A. Wolff. 



Dear Sir:— Cincinnati, O.. March 3, 1908. 



Your book came to hand and I must say I am very much 

 pleased with it. It is far the best book I have seen on 

 poultry. The ideas set forth in the book, whica are the 

 results of your experimenting, certainly show that you are- 

 a little in advance of others in this work. 



Common Era. 111., March 19, 1908. 

 I have built several of the brooders as described by Mr. 

 Philo, and at present time have young ctiicks, a week old,, 

 outdoors, healthy and strong, withouibeing warmed by any 

 artiUcial heat. Yours respectfully, Wilson Brooks. 



SPECIAL INTRODUCTION OFFER. We will send the book and right 

 to use all patents and one year's subscription to Poultry Review for $1.00.
