^he"' i:.xact Truth ^bout poultry Profits 



A few hens cannot make you a millionaire. 

 On the other hand, don't get the wrong 

 notion that "there is nothing in chickens" 

 —that poultry profits are only for experts. 



^ If you want a few hens to supply your own breakfast eggs, it is easy; to sell eggs and ^ 

 broilers at a fair profit is easy, too; to build a big poultry or egg business, paying thou- 

 sands of dollars profit per year, is harder, but quite possible; it has been done many times, 



and will be done many times more. 

 But remember, it takes BRAINS and 

 EXPERIENCE. You must supply the 

 brains, and we will, if you wish, supply the 

 experience of one of the three greatest poul- 

 trymen in the world. You can learn the 

 truth — the exact truth — about poultry, if 

 you will read this advertisement— and act. 

 J. M. Foster, the "Egg King," will 

 show you how to begin — what is the best 

 breed for eggs — how and what to feed — 

 how to force hens to lay heavily — how to 

 secure early molt and quick recovery — 

 how to insure winter eggs when prices are 

 high — how to get more pullets than 

 cockerels, and many otherfacts — all money 

 makers. All this gold mine of costly 

 experience and knowledge will be found in 



A Rancocas Unit at Work 



"The Million Lgg Farm" 



of which FARM JOURNAL, has sold many thousand copies. It is by Joel M. Foster, of the 

 Rancocas Poultry Farm. We call him the "Egg King," because he marketed last year the 

 astounding total of 1,121,478 eggs. "In vs^riting The Million Egg Farm," says Mr. Foster, "I had one 

 thought continually in mind— TO HELP THE BEGINNER. I myself was a beginner only five years 

 ago, so I know what beginners need to know — and I put it all in the book. It is for the man who 

 has a dozen hens on a back lot even more than the man who numbers his birds by the thousands." 

 Let usshow you what it has meant to Robert Liddle, a clerk of Scranton, Pa., to follow the direc- 

 tion in this booklet. In May, 1910, he bought 2,300 day old chicks. He spent just one week study- 

 ing the methods now given in this book, absolutely his only preparation for the business. What 

 has been the result ? He raised 9-5 per cent, of his chicks. Of these, 1,350 proved to be pullets. On 

 November 28, 1910, less than seven months later, he was getting upwards of 42-j eggs daily, and sell- 

 ing them for 58 cents per dozen wholesale, nearly 5 cents apiece. His feed cost averages |4.t'0 per 

 day, leaving over |17.00 a day profit, and this before all his birds had begun laying. 



ILvery Statement a Proved Tact 



Before accepting the manuscript from Mr. Foster, FARM JOURNAL made expert and exhaustive 

 examination into the methods used at the farm, and sent Lybrand, Ross Dros. & Montgomery, 

 Public Accountants, Land Title BIdg., Phila., to verify all claims as to production, sales andprofits. 

 They found that for the year ending July 31, 1910, the profits were 819,484,83. Write them and prove it. 



We believe this masterly book siiould be read by every hen o-wner, and we have therefore 

 arranged to supply it in the following extraordinary offer :
