Investigate 



the 



Poultry 

 Business 



Write for a copy of my book 

 which describes the profit- 

 able combinations of E,gg, 

 Broiler, and Roaster Farms. 



It gives the price paid foreggsand poultry 

 week by week fur the past three years. It 

 tells how and when a natch taken off each 

 week in the year could be most profitably 

 marketed. It shows how you can make $2.00 on 

 a large winter roaster. It tells what profits 

 can Be made witn each of the popular breeds, 

 and the costs of production. 



I have helped thousands to make money with 

 poultry. My Model Incubators and Brooders 

 are used on the money-making farms. It is my 

 business to teach those who use them to do so 

 profitably. Whether your needs are small or 

 large, I will furnish, without charge, esti- 

 mates and plans for a complete equipment 

 that will insure success without your spend- 

 ing a dollar uselessly. 



Send for my complete literature.

Farm Telephones.— The open winter 

 that we are having are golden days for the 

 farmer who wants to get a telephone line 

 started in his community. Now, when his 

 neighbors are beginning to recall the hard 

 winter of a year ago and to look about for 

 comforts for the time when they will be al- 

 most shut in again, the man who has some- 

 thing to offer which will keep the entire fam- 

 ily in close touch with their neighbors, their 

 physician, grocer, etc., and afford them all 

 the social privileges of townspeople, should 

 have no trouble in getting their co-operation 

 in the building of a telephone line. The co6t 

 of building a line is very small. A good line 

 can ofttimes be built at an expense of from 

 twenty-five to thirty dollars for each sub- 

 scriber. It is very important that a reliable 

 telephone, one that can always be depended 

 upon, be chosen. 



Valuable information on the building of 

 lines and selecting of telephones can be se- 

 cured free of charge by writing to the Strom- 

 berg-Carlson Telephone Mfg. Co., Chicago, 

 111., or Rochester, N. Y. We would advise 

 any one who is interested in this subject, to 

 write for booklet at once, not forgetting to 

 mention the American Bee Journal when mak- 

 ing the request.
