After all it's the TRUTH — the plain unvarnished 

 piactical facts about poultry raising that you want, not 

 heories advanced by writers who too often have " an axe to 

 grind." 



Mr. S. B. Twining, of " AFTON FARM," (the oldest and 

 most successful poultry farm in the country") is widely recognized 

 as an authority on practical poultry raising for profit. Hundreds of 

 people write to Mr. Twining for advice, and as he finds it impossible 

 to answer such requests as full and conscientiously as he would like, 

 he has written a valuable book, illustrated, which contains just what 

 the title indicates— POULTRY TRUTHS. 



Readers of this book will get the benefit of a life-time of experience 

 on a successful poultry farm. No high-sounding theories are ad- 

 vanced — the book tells in a plain, frank, honest way how to make 

 profit from poultry. 



The book treats of incubation and brooding of chickens, ducks, geese, 

 turkeys, guineas and pigeons. The questions of heating, breeding, 

 marketing and shipping are fully covered. There are feeding sug- 

 gestions and helps to beginners. 



The chapter on Capon Culture alone is worth more than the price 

 of the book. Capons sell for 30c. to 40c. per lb. in city markets. 



POULTRY TRUTHS is being sold purely on its merits — has 

 no connection with any publication or any advertising scheme. 



Every poultryman and prospective poultry-raiser will find it 

 profitable to read this book. No other book contains so much 

 practical, reliable advice.

How to Keep 



Dirt Out 



of Milk 



To Have Pure Milk to Drink 

 You Must MILK it Pure 



Nearly all the dirt in milk gets in at milking time. You can't 

 "strain" out the impurity when the milk softens the dirt and it 

 "trickles" into the pail. The 



STERILAC MILK PAIL 



Keeps Milk Pure and Sweet 



All dust hair, and filth that fall from the udder are caught by the "dirt 

 shelf." Only absolutely pure milk, just as drawn from the cow, goes into 

 the pail. The only sanitary milk pail that ever proved a real success in every 

 way and received the approval cf all cow owners. Easy to wash — just 

 right for pouring and handling milk. If your dealer cannot supply you, 

 We Will Send Pail Prepaid on Ten Days* Trial Free. After trial 

 send us the money cr the pail. Price $3.50.
