of the most intensive poultry systems in the world and makes it possible 

 for people* of small means to make a luxurious living on a little land 

 with health and independence. With this system it is possible to keep 

 one thousand hens on one acre and produce all the greens which they 

 can consume and still have room for home garden of vegetables, fruit 

 and berries. 



With rich soil and plenty of cheap water, fresh, crisp, succulent 

 green feed in the way of beets, kale, alfalfa, chard, cabbage and barley 

 can be grown luxuriantly, and the tonnage produced on one intensified 

 acre is almost beyond belief. One thousand well-bred hens on one 

 acre, handled on this intensive plan, can be made to net above feed 

 expenses $2.00 each, or $2000 per year. If more income is wanted, 

 develop a second acre and double the income. 



Fresh, crisp, succulent green feed is the secret of success in egg 

 production, and if your acre is not fertile, and if there is no water for 

 irrigation, success can never be attained. Any ambitious, industrious 

 person need have no fears if located on fertile soil with plenty of cheap 

 water and home market, for these are the essentials of success. 



It remains to add that my system is by no means experimental. 

 It has passed that stage and stands today as a matter of absolute 

 demonstration, and as such freely acknowledged by thousands who 

 have investigated it on the spot as all are invited to do. 



I have tried it out for ten years, side by side with other systems, 

 and am satisfied that it has been my good fortune to attain the 

 desired result the largest and steadiest egg production from the 

 smallest area consistent with sanitary conditions and healthy fowls.
