American Hm Journal 



that Mr. Philo himself has been successfully 

 raising chickens for more than 30 years places 

 liim in a positon to speak with authority. 



The Philo System is not a "new idea." 

 nor a fad. Its basis is work, and it attempts 

 not to point out an easy way, but to show the 

 right way. For this reason the inexpert will 

 find this book invaluable. It will start him 

 right, and keep him from getting very far 

 from right. By following the plan given in 

 this book a man may make a net profit of 

 S874.00 or more upon a city lot 50 feet square; 

 besides, he should receive a few hundred dol- 

 lars for by-products. 



On another page of this issue will be found 

 the large advertisement of Mr. Philo. It gives 

 full particulars. When writing be sure to 

 mention the American liee Journal.
