82 BRIGGS' SYSTEM OF 



of my free-range plants, and handle it under my system. 

 I know of no business that will make you money faster, 

 all things considered, than the poultry business, if han- 

 dled properly. And I know of no business where money 

 can be lost faster, all things considered, than in the poul- 

 try business. I have taken plants that have had to go 

 out of business and started them in again under my free- 

 range plan with Leghorns, and they have made money 

 very rapidly on same plant, where under the old system 

 they lost everything, so you can see it is in the proper 

 feed and care that makes success certain. 



If your little chicks die badly during first two weeks 

 you will' find your trouble is with your breeders almost 

 every time. To all who follow my free-range system 

 success is certain. If your chicks are closely confined in 

 small yards and begin to die and dwindle away at three 

 to four weeks of age, you must begin to feed them green 

 cut bone when three weeks old sure Give a liberal feed- 

 ing every noon for nothing else will bring them ahead. 

 Also spade yards up and sow with oats as often as you 

 can until you get them on more range. I am always 

 ready to give you advice and help all I can, time per- 

 mitting.
