Curtiss 

 Poultry Book 



which tells how Roy Curtiss, a New York farmer's boy, starting about twenty 

 years ago, with a few neglected hens, has built up at NIAGARA FARM the 

 LARGEST PRACTICAL POULTRY PLANT IN THE WORLD, with sales of 



OVER $100,000 A YEAR 



Roy agreed that if his father (a grain merchant and farmer) would furnish the feed he 

 (Roy) would take all care of the flock and supply eggs and chickens for the farm table, and 

 all that was left over were to belong to him. In two years Roy was using so much feed 

 that his father had to cry quits, but the boy kept right on. He would start at two o'clock 

 A. M. for Niagara Falls, 13 miles away, with poultry and eggs to sell. His brother joined 

 him, and the business grew and grew. They took the farm and paid off the mortgage. 

 They built and added to their plant, learning slowly how to avoid losses and make the 

 greatest profits. 



But they had no guidance, and had to learn by their own mistakes. If they had had 

 such a guide as the CURTISS POULTRY BOOK, it would have saved them thousands 

 of dollars and years of lost time. 



This capital book was written right at Niagara Farm by the veteran poultryman 

 MICHAEL K. BOYER. Mr. Boyer had the Curtiss brothers right at his elbow with their 

 records and data. He says he never saw a general poultry plant so well managed at every 

 point. No " putting on style" no fancy buildings, no ornaments, but straight, solid 

 business. Everything is planned for months ahead. Every day shipments go off, every 

 day money comes in. You could hardly believe how little they lose. Their percentage of 

 fertile eggs, of live, strong chickens hatched, of day-old chicks shipped, without loss, to 

 Kansas or Florida, is really wonderful. 



And this book gives all their methods of managing incubators, handling eggs, feeding 

 chickens and ducks, killing, dressing, packing and marketing, their formulas tor mixing 

 feed at different ages. And all these have been tested and improved by years of experience, 

 resulting in the most profitable general poultry plant in the world. Whether you raise 

 chickens, ducks, or eggs, whether you keep forty fowls or forty thousand, you will find 

 here help that you can get in no other way. 



Profusely illustrated, with many fine engravings, from actual photographs taken from life.
