Why spend several dollars per hen for housing when 

 Mr. Hastings teaches you the construction of a system of 

 housing that has been eminently successful and costs only 

 thirty cents per hen! 



MR. POULTRYMAN.— Uncle Sam says the annual Egg 

 crop is worth $400,000,000! and that the value of Poul- 

 try and Eggs produced last year exceeds $700,000,000 ! ! 

 Did you get your share of this money ? If not, why not? 



Mllo M. Hastings, until recently the COMMERCIAL POULTRY EXPERT 

 FOR THE UNITED STATES UOVERNMENT, has written a poultry Book: "The 

 Dollar Hen." This book is a complete, thorough, and concise work of 222 

 pages, containing 106,000 words, also several charts, maps, etc. The purpose of 

 this book is to tell the reader— 



How to MAKE Money Raising Poultry 



and NOT HOW TO LOSE IT 



"The Dollar Hen" Is not a boom poultry-book. It tells as much about 

 what NOT TO DO as what TO DO. It thoroughly discusses every phase of the 

 poultry business and tells how money can be make or may be lost. It gives a 

 full account of all methods and systems of poultry-raising as taught by private 

 Individuals. Mr. Hastings does not advocate complicated and expensive meth- 

 ods; In fact, he found such to be universal money-losers. 



As a Government Expert 



As a Govemment Expert Mr. Hastings imestigated all the various pri- 

 vnie systems, patent feeds, and sn-called poultry secrets. He visited the great 

 successful poultry-farming districts of Petaluma, Little Compton, Watertown, 

 the South Shore, and other regions — some wholly unknown to the poultry press 

 — and gathered from all these sources the best Ideas and most profitable prac- 

 tices. From his long practical experience on farm, poultry-plant, with State 

 Experiment Station work, and Federal service, and with his unprecedented 

 opportunity to get at the actual facts of the poultry Industry, Mr. Hastings has 

 laid out a typical money-making poultry-plant, called 



Why pay high prices for theoretically "balanced ra- 

 tions" when a practical food-chemist who has personally 

 investigated the work of a score of experiment stations has 

 found the most profitable poultry rations to be as simple as 

 the corn and alfalfa diet of a Kansas steer? 



Why Invest money in patent "systems," patent feeds 

 plans, remedies, etc , of little or no value or capable of 

 only local application, when a Government Expert who has 

 investigated the Industry throughout the United States and 

 Canada has proven the worth or worthlessness of these 

 things, and tells you how to apply this knowledge to your 

 particular circumstances and climate? 



Why waste money and time experimenting with poul- 

 try when for a very small sum you can buy a guide to prof- 

 itable poultry production! Why not make money at some 

 one else's expense! "The Dollar Hen" TELLS YOU HOW in 

 plain, simple language, and proves every statement made. 

 Rembeber you are getting facts and figures that cost the 

 United States Government thousands of dollars to secure

Poultry Press Endorses "The Dollar Hen." 



There are no exaggerated get-rich-quick schemes discussed. It is plain common-sense from cover to 

 cover, and is well worth reading by any one that wants to learn the facts about the poultry business.— 

 Inland Poultry Journal. 



It is the best book for the beginner that has lately appeared, because it deals in straight facts without 

 theorizing. What it says has been worked out in the poultry-yard.— M//er Purvis, Editor of Poultry. 



"The Dollar Hen " brings out some ideas that are novel and valuable to all poultrymen. —Amcm'a/! 

 Poultry Advocate. 



My opinion is, that "The Dollar Hen " is not only the best book on 

 poultry we have at the present time, but it is worth pretty nearly as much 

 as all the rest together. Perhaps this is extreme, but we have very few 

 books that are strictly up to date, and still fewer that pitch right into the 

 superstitions and humbugs now scattered all through our poultry books 

 and journals.— i4. /. Root, Medina, Ofiio. 



THE DOLLAR HEN is a real book, substantially bound 

 — not a paper-bound pamphlet of "System," "Secrets," or 

 "Methods," but a book worth several dollars of any poul- 

 tryman's money. The Dollar Hen has a vast fund oi val- 

 uable information that required much time, expense, and 

 effort. And think of it! You can have this authoritative 

 and complete guide to profitable poultry, postpaid, for only 

 $1.00. And if you'll order now, mentioning this publica- 

 tion, we will include the Poultry Digest for one year. 

 Remember, we guarantee The Dollar Hen to give entire 

 satisfaction. Order to-day.
