GLEANINGS IN BEE CULTURE 



The Small Egg-Factory 



If you are keeping a few hens in the back yard, or want to, 

 you do not need or want 99 out of 100 poultry books that 

 flood the country. C, You want something for YOUR needs, 

 written especially for back-yard amateurs, whether beginners or 

 experienced pullet owners. 



There have been from time to time a few books written for 

 you. All of them are now practically out-of-date. There is 

 only one back-yard poultry authority that is up-to-the-minute, 

 and that is our new booklet 



"Egg Secrets" 



J. M. Poster wrote " Egg Secrets." He is the Egg King — the owner of the famous Rancocas Farm 

 — and what he doesn't know about poultry isn't learnable. Mrs. Foster made an experiment with 

 this back-yard egg factory, and she made a go of it. You ought to hear what she says about it. It's 

 all in the book. Now, we say that you can do this very thing as sure as two and two make four. 



Now, here's the fact: — The table scraps in an average family will furnish chickens with all their 

 food except the grain — in return for these scraps and a little grain you will get eggs the year round 

 — fine, clean, delicately flavored eggs whose history you know and which you can open without trepi- 

 dation and eat with delight. 



Then you needn't care whether eggs are thirty cents or eighty cents — you can have yours always, 

 and always fresh, for practically nothing. 



These are facts. Don't let any thing that you've heard, or some neighbor's experience sway you. 

 Some people couldn't raise English sparrows. Bear in mind that there are many thousands of people 

 who are running a back-yard egg factory successfully — who are eating their own fresh eggs daily 

 while you are getting the cold-storage variety at exorbitant prices. 



Stop Paying Outrageous Prices 

 for Unspeakable Eggs 



You needn't have a lot of chickens — you needn't have a big yard. You needn't worry about the roost- 

 ers crowing and disturbing the neighborhood — for they are strictly barred in this plan. You eat them 

 before they are old enough to be a nuisance. Just a few hens will suffice for an average family — 

 less for a small one — and besides the waste scraps of meat and vegetables from your table you need 

 to feed them only a grain ration. It's the easiest sort of thing when you've read the book and know 

 thoroughly the principles of the thing.
