THE GARDEN MAGAZINE 



THE annual value of the poultry crop 

 (eggs and fowls) in this country 

 exceeds $300,000,000! All the 

 gold mines of the world yield only a little 

 more than half that much gold in a year. 



You have far greater chance to get rich 

 raising poultry than you have trying to 

 raise nuggets. 

 If you get 



THE 



Poultry Book 



you can learn all that is known about the raising, breeding, care 

 and sale of every kind of feathered product, from a quail to an 

 ostrich. 



It is the most complete and authoritative book on the sub- 

 ject ever printed. And it is superbly illustrated with drawings, 

 photographs, and colored plates. 



It 2s for the Amateur, Fancier, Professional Breeder or 

 General Farmer. 



It was written by experts — men who have made poultry- 

 raising a profound practical study. 



If you are interested in winning prizes and medals at 

 shows, The Poultry Book tells you the best way to go 

 about it. 



Do you know the secret of producing the highest market 

 values at the minimum of cost? It is in The Poultry Book. 



Do you know how to double the value of a cockerel? The 

 owner of The Poultry Book does. Also he knows how to 

 increase the sale value of all his market fowls. 



We are so sure that this book (published in three handsome 

 volumes, $12.00) will be found to meet all requirements, that 

 we are willing to send it to you on approval. If you like it,
