Money in Poultry 



$3,600.00 



NET PROFIT FROM 30 HENS IN ONE SEASON ON 

 A LOT 24x40. IT IS NOT AN EXPERIMENT, IT 



has been done on the Kellerstrass Farm 



My New Poultry Book 



Covers all branches necessary for Success with 

 Poultry. It tells you what I have done. It 

 was written from actual experience. 



IT TELLS YOU HOW— 



HOW I made $3,600.00 in one season from thirty hens on a lot 

 24x40 by feeding them the scraps from my table three times a day. 

 The test was made to show what can be done on a city lot as well 

 as on a farm. 1 also furnish you the names of the parties who paid 

 me over $2,000.00 for the eggs alone from these thirty hens, for 

 reference, which is evidence undisputable. Remember this book, is 

 written by a man who has had the actual experience. 



HOW I make my chickens weigh two and one-half pounds when 

 they are eight weeks old. 



HOW I prepared my chickens for the show room so that I won over 

 90 per cent, of all the blue ribbons that were offered during 1907 

 and 1908, the last season that I showed. A "secret" that has 

 never been published before. 



HOW I built my indoor and outdoor brooders for 85 cents each, to be 

 used either as fireless or with heat in them and plans for the same. 



HOW I raise ninety-eight chickens out of a hundred that I hatch. 



HO W I took a flock of chickens and made them lay $68 worth of 



eggs per hen in ten months I 

 HOW I keep my male birds from fighting without injuring them. 

 HOW I raised the five chickens I sold to Madame Paderewski for 



$7,500.00. 

 HOW I feed my chickens for egg production. 

 HOW I keep my chickens healthy and free from sickness. 

 HOW I select a good laying hen from the poor layer. 

 HOW 1 break up my broody hens without injuring them. 

 HOW I pack my eggs so they will stay fresh. 

 HOW I mate up my chickens for breeding and fertility. 

 HOW I run my incubators and supply moisture. 

 HOW I raised my famous $10,000.00 hen " Peggy." 

 HOW 1 build my hen houses and plans for the same. 

 HOW I bred my big egg-laying strain. 



It also tells about broiler plants, egg plants, and remember, there is 

 also an article in this book called ' Two Years on the Kellerstrass 

 Poultry Farm," which explains hundreds of things — just what we do in 

 two years on the farm, or in other words, a two years" course on the 

 * World's Greatest Poultry Plant." This is the greatest article ever 

 written by a real practical poultryman. 



Remember, this book was written by a man who has sold the highest 

 priced chickens in the world, who also sold $68.00 worth of eggs per 

 hen from a flock of hens in one season, in fact, if you breed a chicken 

 of any kind you know my reputation as a breeder. This is the first 

 time 1 have ever offered to sell any of my " methods or secrets " to the 

 breeder or to the public.

Ernest Kellerstrass, Kansas City, Mo. 



Dear Sir: — I herewith enclose yon affidavit ; also trap nest record 

 of the Kellerstrass Strain Crystal IVhile Orpington hen, register 

 No. 303, that laid two hundred and sixty-three. {263) eggs in 2J2 days. 

 Augusts, 190Q. {Signed) P. J. HARLLEE, Chattahoochee, Ga. 



Ernest Kellerstrass, Kansas City, Mo. 



Dear Sir:— Congratulations on the splendid showing you have made 

 by selling $68.00 north of eggs per hen from 30 hens in one season. 



G. M. CURTIS, Editor Reliable Poultry Journal, Quinry, III. 

 My dear Mr. Kellerstrass: 



I have sixteen of your hens that average two hundred and 

 thirty-one {231) eggs per bird in 12 months. 

 July 19,1909. LAWRENCE JACKSON, Pittsburg, Pa. 



The simplest sort of a thing— common black dirt — has solved the 

 problem of eradicating a chicken disease "which cost thirty million 

 chicks* lives annually, a disease which scientists of the National and 

 State Experimental Stations have bee?t studying without success for 

 ten years. Ernest Kellerstrass, the Katisas City poultry fancier, 

 found the secret. — St. Louis Republic, May 23, 1909. 



The remarkable hen " Peggy " is owned by Mr. Ernest Keller- 



strass, of Kansas City, Mo. She had traveled all over the globe cap- 

 turing prizes. Mr. Kellerstrass has forty-eight hundred chickens 

 of this family and Peggy is the most perfect. He controls the output 

 of perfect Orpingtons. — Sunday Chicago American, March 19, 1909. 



Mr. Kellerstrass is now easily one of the leading a)id most suc- 

 cessful breeders in America, and perhaps during the past two orthrte 

 years raised more good prize-winning birds on his farm, devoted ex- 

 clusively to White Orpingtons, than any other breeder on this conti- 

 nent. — Poultry Success, Springfield, Ohio, February, 1909. 



The White Orpingtons began their real history in the American 

 fancy "when Mr. Ernest Kellerstrass took them itp, Mr. Kellerstrass 

 has do?ie for this variety and for the breed of Orpingtons in general 

 what no other man has ever accomplished for any other breed. — 

 American Poultry Journal, Chicago, III. 



Mr. Kellerstrass has taken the chicken business out of the 

 kindergarten class, and has do?ic more to encoura, e the poultry 

 business than any leu breeders in the United States combined. The 

 Kellerstrass Farm won over 90 per cent, of all premiums offered. 

 We doubt if any breed- 

 er in the -world ever* 

 sold stock or eggs that 

 rroduced as ?na?iy win- 

 nings in one season as 

 the Kellerstrass Farm 

 did in 1908. The In- 

 land Poultry Journal 

 takes its hat off to men 

 of this kind. — Judge

 Inland Poultry Jour- 

 nal, Indianapolis, Ind.
