know just what I am talking- about. If you are well adver- 

 tised it pays, otherwise not. 



Market Poultry Pays. 



It always will pay. In the year 1900 $500,000,000 was 

 spent for all kinds of Poultry, ducks, turkeys and geese, and 

 eggs. And still this country had to buy abroad. More 

 money is made from Poultry than from wheat. More than 

 from corn, horses, hogs, gold, silver or iron. The only stock 

 that has beaten Poultry is railroad stock. This is a matter 

 of government statistics. Look it up and see for yourself. 



If anyone says the Poultry business will be overdone, 

 tell him that it was forty years ago when the incubators 

 were first made. But instead, Poultry and eggs are higher 

 to-day than ever before, and not only that but we buy 6,000,- 

 000 eggs from Canada every year to supply the demand. 

 Then too, we are growing every year, and so are the Poul- 

 try, and the feathers are used more, and the eggs are used 

 more in the arts and elsewhere for photography, dying, 

 glue, etc. Every year there are new uses for the eggs. 

 Ninety-nine out of every hundred fail who go into the Poul- 

 try business because they don't know how, but it must also 

 be remembered that about ninety-six out of every hundred 

 fail in every other business. If you want to make a success 

 of any business you must like it first, then you will make it 

 go. But if you are looking for the dollars on the trees you 

 will never make it pay. 



There is money in pure bred poultry and lots of it, but 

 there is more money in market poultry and for egg consider- 

 ing expenses, etc. 



I have personally made money in fancy poultry, also in 

 poultry for the market, but it takes long experience in breed- 

 ing show birds, and one must know how to mate to win in 

 shows, and above all you cannot raise winners with fifty 

 cent Poultry. $100 for a hen or cock is an every day occur- 

 rence and as high as $500 has been paid for one bird. Eggs
