8 Hubbard's poultry secrets. 



The One-man plant is the best paying plant in the country to- 

 day. If I were to stay with Mr. Barnum, as manager of Fox- 

 hurst Farm, for the next twenty years, I would never allow 

 it to grow beyond a One-man Rant, or just the work I can 

 handle alone. As yet I have never had a helper in the Fancy 

 Poultry Business. 



There are many reasons why the One-man Plant is the most 

 successful. 



First, specialty breeders, devoting all of their time to one

 money paid for stock and eggs, than the large plant, because of 

 small operating expense. 



The more expense a plant is under, the more they must

 One-man plant, in the fact, that it can afiford to give better 

 value for the money, and the small plant can gain a reputation 

 and soon work up a trade to the extent that the demand is 

 greater than the supply. 



Another advantage for the One-man plant is, that a little 

 advertising in Poultry Journals, will dispose of all the stock 

 and eggs it has to sell, while the large plant must advertise ex- 

 tensively and continually in order to dispose of the large num- 

 ber of birds and eggs they have to sell, and which they must 

 sell in order to pay running expenses. 



When a One-man plant has disposed of its spare stock and 

 eggs, advertising is cut down to just enough to keep the name 

 before the public, whereas the large plant never gets to this 

 point, but always has stock and eggs to sell. 



I have visited large plants and have always found a mtmber 

 of good birds, which they must have, where they raise so 

 many. On small plants, however, I have always found much
