YOU CAN START WITH AN 1800-EGG HALL 
INCUBATOR AND ADD SECTIONS TO IT AS 
THE GROWTH OF THE BUSINESS DEMANDS 
The sectional principle of the Hall Mammoth Incubators is not a fea- g. 
ture for rare or exceptional cases of additions wanted — it is a necessity. 
Users of Hall machines succeed. They must have room for enlarging — 
expanding — their business. “Hall makes 
success.” 
You can start with an i8oo-egg ma¬ 
chine and add sections to it as desired. 
The same Hall Furnace will care for 
the additions up to 3,600-egg capacity. 
To enlarge beyond that size it is only 
necessary to attach a larger Hall Furnace, 
when the machine may be extended to 20,100 
eggs. 
Look again at the illustration. Learn to recognize 
a Flail Machine by sight as you will its merits by use. Its 
regulation is automatically accurate; its moisture sufficient ; its ventilation without 
draft; its workmanship, the best; it is always most economical to handle. Each egg 
chamber (capacity of 150 eggs) is absolutely independent of all the others. 
Let us tell you all about Hall Mammoth Incubators. It is worth while to know 
and costs nothing. Write today for free booklet, “The Profit-lMaking Poultry 
System.”

Are You Satisfied With Your Income? 
Would $500.00 a Year or More on the 
Side Be an Object to You? 
You can easily make that, and more too, if you have a back 
yard or a little land and are willing to devote two hours a day to 
the work. The poultry business cannot be overdone. There are 
91,000,000 people in the United States, and there wilt be more 
next year, and those people must be fed. The growth is in the 
cities. Consumers are increasing twice as fast as producers. High 
prices have come to stay. Start a business of your own and get 
your share of the billion dollars a year that is spent for poultry 
and eggs. 
“SIDE-LINE POULTRY KEEPING” 
is the amount cleared by F. H. Dunlap, of West Salisbury, N. H., in igio, from his hens. 
Mr. Dunlap is a country merchant and postmaster, and does net have over two hours a day 
on an average to devote to his hens. The full story of his success, his methods of feeding, marketing, etc., are de¬ 
scribed in the book “Side-Line Poultry Keeping.’’ 
' OOQ ^1 R. A. Richardson, of Haverhill, Mass, a shoe cutter, made his hens pay him $1,009.31 in 
1910, and kept working at the bench at the same time. How he did it is told in “Side- 
Line Poultry Keeping. ” “SIDE-LINE POULTRY KEEPING” 
is the name of a new book by Edgar Warren, the popular and reliable writer upon poultry topics. It is written for the man or 
woman who wants to add to their income in spare time that will not interfere with their present occupation. It is so plainly 
written that the person who never kept a hen, by following the instructions of the book, can make a success from the start. Tells
