THE PHILO SYSTEM 



IS ESPECIALLY VALUABLE TO THE FARMER AS WELL 

 ADAPTED TO ALL CLIMATES 



The Philo System is Unlike all other 

 Ways of Keeping Poultry 



and in many respects it is just the reverse, accomplishinir thingrs in 

 poultry work that have always been cunsidered innposbibte and (ret- 

 ting unheard of results thut are hard to believe without seeing. 

 However, the facts remain the same and we can prove to you every 

 word of the above statement. ,^ 



The New Syttem Covert All Branches of the Work 

 Necessary For Success 



From selecting the breeder* to marketing the product. It tells how 

 to get eggs that will hatch, how to hatch nearly every egg, and how 

 to raise nearly all the chicks hatched. It gives complete plans In 

 det'il how to make everything necessary to run the business and at 

 less than half the cost required to handle the poultry business in nny 

 other manner. There is nothing complicated about the work and any 

 man. woman or child that can handle a saw and hammer can do the 

 work. 



Two Pound Broilers In Eight Weeks. 



Are raised in a space of less than a square foot to the broiler without 

 any If^ss and the broslers are of the very best quality, bringing, here, 

 three cents per pound above the highest market price. 



4^ Our Six-Months-Old Pullets Are Laying At The Rate Of 

 ^ 24 Eggs Each Per Month, 



^fV in a space of two square feet for each bird. No green 'ut bone or 

 meat of any description is fed, and the food is inextensive as com- 

 pared with food others are URing. 



Our new book. THE PHILO SYSTEM OF PROGRESSIVE 

 POULTRY KEEPING, gives full particulars regarding these won- 

 derful discoveries, with simple, eaf^y-to-understand directions that 

 are right to the point, and 6fteen pa^es of illustrations showing all 

 branches of the work from start to finish. 



It also tells how to make a brooder for twenty-five cents that will 

 automatically keep all lice ofT the chickens or kill any that may be on 

 them when In the brooders. 



Our New Brooder Saves Two Cents on Each Chicken 



No tamp is required. No danger of chilling, overheating or 

 burning up the chickens aa with broofJers using lamps or any kind 

 of fire. They also keep all lice off the chickens automatically, or kill 

 any that may be on them when placed In the brooder. Our book 

 gives full plans and the riffht to make and use them. One can be 

 eaaity made In an hour at a cost of from 25 to 50 cents.

October £1. ItOH. 

 ■* P S.--A year's obeerva'ion. and some experience of my own, confirm me 

 in what I wrote Sept. 5, ICOT. The System has been tried bo long an(l by so 

 many, that there can be no doubt as to its worth and adaptability. It is 

 especially valuable to parties having but a smnll place for chickens; seven 

 feet square is plenty for a flock of seven. <Rev.' W. W. Cox 



RaNSOMVILLE, N. Y., Dec. 5, V.IOK. 

 Dear S(R:--La«t Spring we purchased your book entitled the "Philo 

 System" and used your heatlese brooders last spring and summer. The same 

 has been a great help to us in raising the chix in the health and mortality 

 The chix being stronger and healthier than those raised in the brooders with 

 supplied heat. We believe this brooder is the best thine out vet for taisini? 

 chix successfully. We put 25,000 chix through yourheatless brooders this last 

 season and expect to use it more completely this coming season. We have 

 had some of the most noted poultrymen from all over the U. S. here, also a 

 large amount of visitors who come daily to our plant and without any excep- 

 tion thev pronounce our stork the finest and healthiest thev have seen any- 

 where this year. Respectfully yours,
