6 BRIGGS' SYSTEM OF 



with a fine stream of water running through it, one of 

 the most natural locations to be found hereabout. I 

 shall carry one thousand White Wyandotte layers in this 

 field of high quality seldom seen in such numbers to- 

 gether. I will have another six-acre field on another 

 part of my farm, where I will carry one thousand layers 

 of the famous Young strain of Single-combed White 

 Leghorns, no finer nor greater layers to be found in 

 this country. A large feed house will be built in a side 

 hill, and underneath it will be a large cellar divided up. 

 one part for incubators, one part for an egg room, and 

 one-half for processing oats for my large plant. Labor 

 will be a small item on this plant, as all my feeding, etc., 

 \\ ill be done with the aid of a gentle horse. j\Iy first work, 

 after getting posession of my new farm, April i, 1908, 

 will be to fill my incubators with 2,000 White Wyan- 

 dotte eggs, then to build my laying houses and get my 

 stock in their new quarters, where my colony houses, as 

 described elsewhere, will at once be built, and two brood- 

 ers placed in each house ; then a large number of fruit 

 trees will be put out for shade, as well as profit. Do not 

 fail to pay me a visit if you come this way. Location ; 

 My place is located three-quarters of a mile from Pleas- 

 ant Valley depot, on the old P E. R. R. now owned 

 by N, Y., N. H. & H. R. R. All trains from Pough- 

 keepsie Bridge depot stop at Pleasant A^alley. To reach 

 my place from depot turn to left and walk to hotel, 

 past the front of it, turn to left, walk north by end of 

 hotel straight ahead until you reach my place — fifteen 

 minutes' walk from depot. If notified my wagon will 

 meet you at depot. If you come to A^'est Pleasant Val- 

 ley station walk to east five minutes and you will reach 

 my place. If you come from the east through Boston 

 you get off at same depots. You are always wel- 

 come any day except Sunday, as we must have one day 

 for rest.
