INFORMATION DEPARTMENT, 



A Living from Poultry 



$1,500.00 from 60 Hens in Ten Months on a 

 City Lot 40 Feet Square 



fO the average poultry- 

 man that would seem 

 impossible, and when we 

 tell you that we have 

 actually done a $1500 

 poultry business with 60 

 hens on a corner in the 

 city garden 40 feet wide 

 by 40 feet long, we are 

 simply stating facts. It 

 would not be possible to 

 get such returns by any 

 one of the systems of 

 poultry keeping recom^^ 

 mended and practised 

 by the American people, 

 still it can be accom= 

 pushed by the 



PHILO 

 SYSTEM 



Note tlie condition of these tliree-montlis-old puUets. These pullets and their 

 ancestors for seven generations have been bred by the Philo System. 



THE PHILO SYSTEM IS UNLIKE OTHER WAYS OF KEEP- 

 ING POULTRY 



and in many respects just tlie reverse, accompiisbing 

 tilings in poultry work tliat liave always been con- 

 sidered impossible, and getting unh.eard-of results tliat 

 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 -svlll hatch, how to hatch 

 nearly every egg 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, and the broilers are of the very best quahty. 

 bringing here 3 cents a pound above the highest mar- 

 ket price. 



OUR SIX-MONTH-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 POUL- 

 TRY 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 the 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 enabled 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 summer. It is just as im- 

 possible 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 burning up the chickens as with brooders 

 using lamps or any kind of fire. They also keep all 

 the Uce oH 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. 



TESTIMONIALS 



South Britain, Conn., April 19, 1909. 

 Mr. E. R. Philo, Elmira, N. Y. 



Dear Sir: — I have followed your system as close as I could; the result is 

 a complete success. If there can be any improvement on nature, your brooder 

 is it. The first experience I had with your System was last December. I 

 hatched 17 chicks under two hens, put them as soon as hatched in one of your 

 brooders out of doors and at theatre of three months I sold them at 35c a pound. 

 They then averaged 2 1-2 lbs. each, and the man I sold them to said they were 

 the finest he e\er saw and he ^vants all I can spare this season. 



Yours truly, 



A. E. Nelson.

 Mr. E. R. philo, Elmira, N. Y. 



Dear Sir: — No doubt you will be interested to learn of our success in 

 keeping- poultry by the Philo System. Our first year's work is now nearly 

 completed. It has given us an income of over S500.00 from six pedigree hens 

 and one cockerel. Had we understood the work as well as we now do after a 

 year's experience, we could have easily made $1,000.00 from the six hens. In 

 addition to the profits from the sale of pedigree chicks, we have cleared over 

 S960.00 running our Hatchery plant consisting of 56 Cycle Hatchers. We are 

 pleased with the results and expectto do better the comin? year. 

 With best wishes, we are, 

 Very truly yours, 



(Mrs.) C. p. Goodrich.
