BRIGGS' SYSTEM OF 



Vou must buy eggs of a party who feeds little or no 

 mash if you wish to get good hatches of chicks that will 

 live if given a half a chance, for when an entirely inex- 

 perienced man tries to raise them they must be from 

 hardy stock. 



You do not have to wait many months for profit to 

 come in when you buy your eggs to start with, as you 

 can market your cockerels for broilers In three months 

 from the time you set your machines y:.iu can count on 

 quite an income, so all things considered, with the expe- 

 rience you get, I advise starting in the spring by buying 

 your eggs and raising your own chicks. 



These chicks can be raised very cheaply under my new 

 system of giving them all the processed oats they will 

 take three times a day, in connection with a good chick 

 food before them all the time, as well as grit, charcoal, 

 and beef scraps. 



You should clean your brooder out at least once a 

 week, which I find answers every purpose. Also keep 

 your brooder part, where chicks are fed, covered with 

 cut clover, as they eat much of this, and it is very ben- 

 ficial to them.
