You Raise Poultry, but 

 Do You Make It Pay? 



Let one of the foremost poultry experts of the United 

 States tell you how in his new book, "The Poultry Guide 

 Post." Mr. Philip R. Park — known all over the country 

 to thousands of poultry men — has written ''The Poultry 

 Guide Post" to explain his successful methods, which have 

 been endorsed by Government Experiment Stations. 

 There is no theory in ''The Poultry Guide Post." It has 

 been written by a man who has no theories, who has tried 

 out everything he recommends, and who is making money 

 in the poultry business. In this, Mr. Park shows how 

 poultry may be profitably raised in a city back-yard as well 

 as in the country. 



*1 (\f\ "The Poultry Guide Post" is a handsome 

 <pi.\sv cloth bound book of 132 pages. Send $1.00 

 for it today — then read it — and if it doesn't give you 

 some new idea worth many times its cost, just send it back 

 and we will refund your money.

DREAD 



It is composed of lean meat, bone meal and 

 cereals in the right proportions to make good 

 bone and muscle. 



As the development of the tissues and 

 muscles of an animal depends upon the quality 

 and nature of its food, a diet of kitchen scraps 

 can never give you the kind of dog you want. 



Austin's gives clear eyes, sound muscles and 

 a glossy coat. Never scours, is always relished 

 and keeps a dog in condition at all seasons.

 I now build enough of my five most successful houses to offer 

 them for sale.
