Abuses 11 



would help him to change conditions so that he might live, 

 and which might save many old people from losing their 

 $1,200 or $1,500 and ending their days in misery and poverty? 

 Or is it more important to continue wasting ink and paper 

 on ridiculous and worthless articles? 



The country is full of wrecked poultry farms. Why try 

 to hide the facts? Many people will not want to read this 

 book because it is written by a man who made several failures, 

 and people don't want to read of failures, but I represent 

 those who have failed. Let me say that I have also made 

 several successes, but of those I am not writing. 



Every success is given space in papers, but few of the 

 failures are noticed. Isn't it just as valuable to know why 

 a poultry farm failed, so that you can avoid the same fate, 

 as to know why some other plant succeeded, so that you can 

 follow its methods? 



Is it not better to know the truth about the large numbers 

 of failures, so that the conditions which cause them may be 

 corrected and poverty and misery and sadness turned into 

 wealth, gladness and joy? The poultry business has been the 

 victim of more fakers than any business I know of. The 

 poultryman has been misled and lied to, and has lost every 

 dollar that could possibly be taken from him with the aid of 

 clever writers, fakers of poultry tonics, egg powders, condi- 

 ments, and all kinds of misleading books and systems and 

 frauds. 



The worst frauds of all are the poultry books, which lead 

 you to believe that you can make $5.00 to $10.00 a year per 

 hen and, by presenting visions of getting rich quickly, cause 

 you to rush into the poultry business. You wake up to find 

 yourself the victim of some one's lying ability and greed. You 

 cannot make such profits with my system, than which there 

 is none better, so how can you possibly do it with another?
