A Living From Poultry 



on a City Lot 



$1,500 in Ten Months from Sixty Hens on a 

 Corner of a City Lot 



TO the average poultryman that would seem impossible and when 

 we tell you we have actually done a $t, 500 poultry business 

 with sixty hens on a corner in a city garden, 40 feet wide by 40 

 feet long, we are simply stating facts. It Would Not Seem 

 Possible to Get Such Returns by any one of the systems of 

 poultry keepingrecommended and practised by the American people, 

 still it is an easy matter when thenewPHILO SYSTEM is adopted. 



The Philo System is Unlike All Other Ways of 

 Keeping Poultry 



and in many respects just the reverse, accomplishing things in 

 poultry work that have always been considered impossible, andget- 

 ting unheard-of results that are hard to believe without seeing. 



The New System Covers All Branches of the Work 

 Necessary for Success 



from selecting the breeders to marketing the product. It tells how 

 to get eggs that will hatch, how to hatch nearly every egrg: and how 

 to raise nearly all the chicks hatched. It gives complete plans in 

 detail how to make everything necessary to run the business and at 

 less than half the cost required to handle the poultry business in 

 any other manner. 



Two-Pound Broilers in Eight Weeks 



are raised in a space of less than a square foot to the broiler without 

 any loss, and the broilers are of the very best quality, bringing here 

 three cents per pound above the highest market price. 



Our Six-Months-Old Pullets Are Laying at the Rate of 24 

 Eggs Each Per Month 



in a space of two square feet for each bird. No green cut bone of 

 any description is fed , and the food used is inexpensive as compared 

 with food others are using. 



Our new book, the Philo System of Poultry Keeping, gives 

 full particulars regarding these wonderful discoveries, with simple, 

 easy-to-understand directions that are right to the point, and 15 pages 

 of illustrations showing all branches of the work from start to finish. 



Don't Let the Chicks Die in the Shell 



One of our secrets of success is to save all the chickens that are 

 fully developed at hatching time, whether they can crack the shell 

 or not. It is a simple trick and believed to be the secret of the 

 ancient Egyptians and Chinese which enables them to sell the chicks 

 at 10 cents a dozen. 



Chicken Feed at 15 Cents a Bushel 



Our book tells how to make the best green food with but little 

 trouble and have a good supply, any day in the year, winter or sum- 

 mer. It is just as impossible to get a large egg yield without green 

 food as it is to keep a cow without hay or fodder. 



Our New Brooder Saves 2 Cents on Each Chicken 



No lamp required. No danger of chilling, over-heating or burn- 

 ing up the chickens as with brooders using lamps or any kind of fire. 

 They also keep all the lice off the chickens automatically or kill any 

 that may be on them when placed in the brooder. Our book gives 

 full plans and the right to make and use them. One can easily be 

 made in an hour at a cost of 25 to 50 cents. 



Send S$l .00 and a copy of the latest revised edition of the Philo 

 System will be sent by return mail. The latest edition has many 

 pages of additional reading matter, and by ordering direct you are 

 sure to get the latest and most approved book. 



A TESTIMONIAL 



Valley Falls, N. Y., October 22, 1908. 

 Dear Sir: A year's observation and some experience of my own, confirm 

 me in what I wrote September 5, 1907. The system lias been tried so long 

 and by so many, that there can be no doubt as to its worth and adaptability. 

 It is especially valuable to parties having but a small place for chickens. 

 Seven feet square is plenty for a flock of seven. (REV.) W. "VV. COX.
