66 NATURE AND ITS 



Don't force their growth. You have probably seen a hot 

 house plant or vegetables grow up high, and before they 

 reach maturity, fall over, the stalk not being strong enough 

 to keep it standing. So with chicks, they get weak legs 

 and cannot hold their weight up. Then too, a hot house 

 plant grown in winter and put out doors, even in mild 

 weather, will lie down and only the best care will keep it 

 from dying, because it is not used to the outside air. But 

 if the the hot house plant had had outside air from the be- 

 ginning of the sprouting, it would stand all kinds of expos- 

 ure. So with chicks, you must get them used to the outside 

 air at the start, and then you will be successful. I have 

 tried many ways to care for poultry, and find that all the 

 food on earth is no good if you don't give them air, sun and 

 free range. Never yard them up after they are a week old. 

 It pays to let them run, and you will not be bothered with 

 diseases. 



I will if necessary visit all who read this book and fail, 

 regardless of distance and expense. What others do, you 

 can. 



I will close this little book and say this: Don't judge the 

 value of the book for its size, but consider the contents. A 

 book ever so large is of no use if it is not a practical one. 

 Further, a great deal of information can be gotten out of 

 this book if directions are followed. If at any time you are 

 stuck, write me. There is no such book written on poultry 

 and you cannot help being successful and make it pay for 

 the market. 



The blue prints are also original and from my own plans 

 and they will save you a lot of money when building poul- 

 try houses. If you cannot make it successfully with these 

 instructions you will fail in any other business. Dozens are 

 now doing well with my advice, and have paid well for the 

 instructions by letter. 



Fruit Trees and Poultry Great Money Makers. 



These two go well together and a sure crop is assured 

 every year. Poultry are money makers every year, but
