REAL work, with real poultry, on a real New England Farm. This is 

 a simple story of what has been done by a man, at forty-five years of 

 age, town-bred and city-educated getting out of practice of medicine, 

 buying a small farm in the hill country, and making a success of the ven- 

 ture. Not only is the rearing of chicks and the management of adult 

 fowl completely covered, but the interesting side issues of fruit growing, 

 gram-raising and the production of milk, that cannot be escaped on a 

 real farm. You get rugged facts — rarely found in print. The truth about 

 poultry as found in actual life on a one man poultry farm.
