POULTRY SECRETS 



DISCLOSED! 



\\ ''E offer to all poultry-raisers the essential knowledge and 

 secret methods of many of the most successful poultry- 

 men of America. As a rule these secrets have been guarded 

 with extreme care, for it is on them that the great successes 

 have been built. Fhey have cost years of labor and thousands 

 of dollars. They will cost YOU only a trifle and a few min- 

 utes to write us. 



HOW WE OBTAINED THESE SECRETS 



Michael K. Boyer, our poultry-editor, has had exceptional opportunities and the closest 

 friendship with poultivmen all over the country. Tdey hive freely told him many of their 

 most jealously treasured secrets; many others we have bought, and this scattered material, 

 loeether with several of Mr. Boyer's own valued methods, has now been collected in book 

 lorm. It must he clearly understood that tvrn initt printed has been ahtain-d in an honorable way. 



Dr. Woods' Egg-food Secret 



Dr. P. T. Woods authorizes the publication of his system for producing large quantities of 

 sterile eggj for market. Every poultryman who raises eggs for market must know Dr. Woods' 

 method to be up with the times, and every householder who supplies only his or her own table 

 will appreciate an increased quantity of the highest quality-eggs for table use. 



Secret of Fertile Eggs 



Boyei's secret of securing fertile eggs by alternating males, we believe, is worth $100 to any 

 big producer of eggs for hatching, either for his own incubators or selling to others for fancy 

 Slock. It is something new, and the diagrammatic illustration furnished by Mr. Boyer makes 

 !he matter so plain that the novice can easily understand it. This system is already practiced 

 or about to be introduced in many of the largest poultry-plants in the country. 



I. K. Fetch's Mating Secret 



Many years ago Mr. Felch, one of the best-known figures in the poultry world, published 

 his oreeding-chart, but later, realizing its great importance and value to him, he withdrew it 

 and kept the info mation for himself. He has now given Mr. Boyer permission to use this 

 system, and it is included in this book. 



Secret of Feed at 1 5c a Bushel 



An enterprising poultryman has been advertising this secret for $5.00 and pledging those 

 who buy it not to disclose it to any one else; it has, however, long been known to a few 

 pouhiymen, .Mr. Boyer among them, and the method is fully explained in " Poultry Secrets." 



So-Called "Systems" Explained 



A number of " systems " and secret recipes have been and still are sold at high prices. 

 Some are good, but not new; some are new but of little value. Some are worth the money 

 paid for tnem. " Poultry Secrets " gives the facts. 



Selecting the Laying Hens 



Since the production of eggs is the very basis of the poultrj- industry, the ability f) tell the 

 laying hens in the tl )ck quiculy, without the aid of trap nests, will put dollars in your pocket. 

 Uo not keep on feeding the robber hens. 



Of course, we can not go to the length of saying that all the information in the book is new 

 lu every one. It is said there is nothing new under the sun. and the Egyptians were batching 

 eegs by artificial heat centuries ago; but we do say that to the great majority of poultrymen 

 these secrets are unknown.
