American Hee Journal 



Read What Purchasers Say 



I received Farm Journal and "Poultry 

 Secrets," and am very much pleased with 

 both. The secrets are worth their weight in 

 gold. Why. I paid Ss-oo for the sprouted oats 

 method. You certainly give a fellow over 

 his money's worth. 



Andrew F. G. Morey. Utica. N. Y. 



I purchased a copy of " Poultry Secrets." 

 and find many helpful ideas in it. especially 

 Dr. Wood's Egg Hatching Secret. 



Mrs. F. T. Darnell, 'Westfield, Ind. 



By putting within our reach these Poultry 

 Secrets, you are doing a more philanthropic 

 work than giving alms or endowing hospi- 

 tals, for you make it possible for us to make 

 both ends meet. 



L. BovcE. Milwaukee. Wis. 



Received your book of Poultry Secrets. 

 It's an exceptionally instructive work, and 

 worth Sio to any progressive poultryman. I 

 would not care to take that for my copy if I 

 could not get another. 



RoBT. F. KiNGSLAND, MontviUe, N. J. 



The Farm Journal came to hand, and later 

 Poultry Secrets also arrived, all of which I 

 wa J very glad to receive, and have been 

 greatly interested in reading same, and 

 think you are doing a glorious work in dif- 

 fusing such valuable knowledge for so little 

 money. F. B. Meade, Boston. Mass. 



As to " Poultry Secrets," I will say I have 

 lectured on this subject over the greater 

 portion of this State for the past 15 years, 

 and have about every book that is published 

 on this subject in my library, and I consider 

 this book of yours the most valuable I know 

 by far tor the general public.

50 PERCENT MORE 



Pullets than Cockerels 



This is the astonishing result that is secured by W. R. Curtiss, of 

 the famous 100,000-chicken Niagara Farm in New York. He tells how 

 he does it, to his great cash advantage, in the new (9th) edition of 

 "Poultry Secrets," just off the press. Besides this remarkable disclo- 

 sure, the new edition contains 



Scores of Other Secrets 



many of them as surprising and even more vital to the modern poultry- 

 keeper's success. A partial list follows; 



J. H. DREVENSTEDT'S secrets of preparing fowls for exhibitions. 

 DR. WOOD'S secret of laying food for producing a large egg yield. 



The PHILO SYSTEM, a brief outline telling what it is and for what it 



is valuable. 

 The CURTISS method of producing a high percentage of pullets in the 



hatch. 

 Selecting the laving hens — the central thought of the so-called HOGAN 



and PALMER Systems.- 



I. K. FELCH'S system of in-breeding without loss of vitality in the 



stock. 

 GRUNDY'S method of producing 8-cents-a-bushel green feed; also the 



" 15-cents-a-bushel " secret. 



H. C. DAVIS' system of rules for preventing loss of chicks. 

 Several new food formulas, many of them the same as expensive "pat- 

 ented " foods. 



I. B. GRAY'S secret of fattening stock quickly and obtaining an extra 

 price for it. 



And Many Others, Not Mentioned Here 



In short, the new edition contains the cream of the exclusive knowl- 

 edge of dozens of America's foremost poultrymen, and should have it if 

 you have even a few hens in a back-yard. Do not hesitate; no confi- 

 dence has been violated ; every secret has been 



Obtained in an Honorable Way 



(i) by outright purchase: {2) by free permission given our poultry editor, Michael K. Boyer; 

 (3) by collecting old. valuable, but little known methods; (4) from Mr. Boyer's own 30 years' 

 experience. A large amount of new material, never before published, has been added to 

 this new (gth) edition; no poultry owner should attempt to care for his stock without know- 

 ing these secret methods and discoveries. 



It would be absurd to expect every bit of this information to be unknown to every one; we 

 make no such claim. But we believe tbat the begrinner with a few hens, the farmer with his small 

 flock, or the poultryman with his thousands will all find knowledgfe In this book which is absolutely 

 new to tbem, and worth many times Its cost. We risk our reputation on this. 



We Will Pay $10.00 for Any Secret Not in the Book 



provided it Is practical and valuable. If it in something" both g^ood and new. a check for Ten Dollars 

 win be sent at once. In submitting- secrets address all communications to 



POULTRY DEPARTMENT OF FARM JOURNAL. 



Fakm Journal has for thirty years made a specialty of poultry; this department Is ably edi- 

 ted and more valuable than many specialized poultry papers. This Is only one section, however, 

 of a remarkable magazine— a monthly with 600.000 subscribers— circulating- throughout America 

 and in every civJUzed land. NOT a dreary, technical farm paper, badly printed on cheap paper, full 

 of medical and trashy advertisements, but a magazine for the home— town, villag-e. or country ; well 

 printed and illustrated, clean, clever, quaint, and always cheerful; Intensely practical; equally at 

 home on a thousand-acre farm or in a suburban back garden; in cottage or mansion. East or West ; 

 and In a dozen ways UNLIKE ANY OTHER PAPER you ever saw.
