Last Year From His 



Million Egg FoLrm 



Five years ago Joel M. Foster, a young city man, 

 decided to go into the poultry business. He was look- 

 ing for a suitable occupation, he was vigorous and 

 energetic, and believed that there was a fortune to be 

 made raising chickens. He had no experience. He 

 bought and stocked a httle farm near a big city, but 

 for a time he had only failures. His poultry house 

 burned with all its contents, and he had to begin anew. 

 The next year rats destroyed half his flock, but he 

 surmounted these and other difficulties, always think- 

 ing, planning and experimenting. Todav he is at the 

 head of the largest EGG PRODUCING plant in the 

 world, with 20,000 laying hens, and will market this 

 year between two and three million eggs. 



Last year Mr. Foster made $19,484.83 from his 

 Million Egg Farm. Most of it was from commercial 

 eggs; $6000 was income from sales of " Day-Old Chix," 

 the rest from miscellaneous products of the great 

 Rancocos Farm. 



R.eaLd the Whole AmaLZing Story 

 In "The Million Egg Fa.rm." 



We have induced Mr. Foster to tell his experience for the benefit of 

 poultrymen everywhere. The beauty of his system is that the principles 



Catherine the liecs 1" the Early Afternoon 



can be applied just as well to the farmer's flock or the suburban lot as to 

 the still larger plant of the man who wants to go into egg raising as a pro- 

 fession. The book tells you how to start and be successful with a few or many 

 hens. It explains the Rancocas Unit, into which his gigantic flock is divided.

Feeding A Rancocas Unit 



It gives estimates and advice for the beginner with a little flock. It tells how 

 Foster began with a. $300 investment and 100 hens, and how you can begin. 

 It gives all the Rancocas formulas for mating, hatching and feeding — the 

 result of his experience. It gives the egg production day by day — proof 

 that his formulas are successful. 



All Figures Are Certified 



To satisfy ourselves that the figures were correct we employed the well- 

 known firm of Lybrand, Ross Brothers and Montgomery, certified public 

 accountants, to make an exhaustive two weeks' examination of the books 

 and records of the Rancocas Farm. The result of their findings is given in 

 the book. Nothing has been held back. The failures as well as the suc- 

 cesses are set forth. We believe no other poultryman has ever thus laid 

 open his business secrets and experience to the world.
