Covers all branches necessary for Success with 

 Poultry. It tells you what I have done. It

 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 undispu table. 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 1 won over 

 90 per cent, of all the blue ribbons that were offered during 1 907 

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

 never been published before.

 used either as fir- less or with heat in them and plans for the same.

 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 1 select a good laying hen from the poor layer.

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 poultry man. 



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

 breeder or to the public.

Dear Friend:— The book at hand. It is the best book that I ever 

 opened on poultry talk. I think every person that has a bird on his 

 tot or farm should have one of these books. I was surprised when I 

 r<-ad where you ofe?ied those chicks and found lath nails and tacks in 

 their craws. I never heard of such a thing; if stands to reason that 

 would kill them. Yours truly (SigJied) H. M. GROWER.
