THREE LARGE VOLUMES 



T is not often that a work receives equally 

 enthusiastic commendation from special- 

 ists and those who have merely an ama- 

 teur interest in the subject treated. 

 That, however, has been the case with 

 The Poultry Book, which until now has been 

 obtainable in separate parts, as they were issued. 

 The work is now complete, and not only has it been 

 endorsed in terms of high praise by expert breeders 

 and fanciers, by poultry journals and the gen- 

 eral press, but it has had the warmest testi- 

 monials as to its incomparable merits as a 

 guide and instructor from hundreds of sub- 

 scribers throughout the country who are just 

 beginning to understand the importance of a 

 great and growing industry. Though we 

 felt sure of the favorable reception of a work 

 so indispensable to breeders and fanciers 

 who wish to achieve the best results of scien- 

 tific chicken culture, we confess that the 

 popularity of the book with non-professional 

 classes has exceeded our expectation. We 

 were not, however, aware at the time that 

 poultry raising had been developed so won- 

 derfully in this country that the annual "egg 

 crop " has reached a value exceeding 

 >i 50,000,000, and that the yearly value of

eggs and fowls together is nearly double that of all the gold mined throtiglwut the world. 



Inasmuch as chicken raising is so much more productive than gold-mining, there is no wonder that 

 those interested are eager to get the fullest and most accurate information as to the kinds of breeds and 

 the methods of treatment that promise the greatest and speediest returns in profit. 



That information The Poultry Book does indeed supply very exhaustively, and in every detail, 



so that the farmer and producer who follow its directions and suggestions will discover that there 



t many sources of legitimate revenue as profitable as that of poultry. But we hope sub- 



:>ers will see something more than the money-making features of this elaborate work, for 



lere is much that makes for beauty and refinement in farm and rural life, and that is even 



more important than money-getting, desirable as it is to "feather our nests" comfortably. 



3E Poultry Book is not only an authoritative treatise greatly in advance of anything that has 



produced on the subject, but the rich beauty of its illustration and the quality of its matter give 



a distinct value quite independent of its strictly educational character, for it is highly entertaining 



as mere pastime reading. Anyone at all interested in domestic fowls will find keen enjoyment 



in the pages of this most desirable book. 



If you have any interest whatever in Poultry it will pay you to cut out the application blank 

 on this page, and send it to us. Better do it now; if you put it off till to-morrow you may forget.
