grand opportunities as the poultry business. Many a man 

 packs his belongings and travels far away looking for oppor- 

 tunity when there are golden opportunities rapping at his 

 door. I know of no business that pays as large dividends on 

 the capital invested as the chicken business. It affords the 

 busy city man much recreation after his hard day's work is 

 over in the shop or office. It gives profitable employment to 

 the man whose health is impaired and who is not fit for 

 strenuous life that he was accustomed to in his younger days. 

 Many a good housewife has found the chicken business a 

 great help in assisting her invalid husband in making a 

 living. Many a mortgage has been paid off a home by the 

 husband raising chickens before and after working hours and 

 at the same time enjoying pleasant recreation. 



PEPFUL POULTRY FOR PALE PEOPLE 



For the period of the war, and especially these present 

 months of reconstruction during which I am writing, men 

 and women have been working under a severe tension. How 

 many of your friends are bordering on a nervous breakdown? 

 It has been astonishing to me to find how many men and 

 women have been burning the candle at both ends — partly 

 because of their splendid patriotism, to be sure — but also in 

 part due to their negligence of sufficient sunshine, fresh air 

 and exercise — the same identical qualities which are so neces- 

 sary in producing vital, profitable poultry. 



I believe that there is a definite movement on the part 

 of thousands of men and women who have been spreading 

 themselves too thin, to seek some interesting and yet profit- 

 able outdoor diversion — and it is quite natural that a great 

 many of these people should investigate and accept the rais- 

 ing of poultry as one practical solution of that very impor- 

 tant problem.
