Third Edition

The Feather: The Howard Publishing Company Printers. Washington, DC

Just a few words in the way of introduction to those who have never heard of me or of my new methods. I was born a poultryman; my father before me bred fancy stock all his life; from a small boy I gathered the eggs, took charge of the poultry, exhibited them at the county shows and had birds of my own. I have bred fancy stock all my life and tried the winter broiler business with fatal results, as hundreds of others have done. This led me to experimenting and also studying nature to see if there was not a way in which they could be raised on a large scale without any loss to speak of. The result is, after ten years of careful experimenting, I have solved the problem and am now able to put any poultry plant on a paying basis, regardless of location or other obstacles, and plants that went out of business under the ordinary methods have started up under my new methods and made wonderful successes. My first edition put on the market two years ago have all been sold, as well as my second edition of 3,000 copies in 1907; this, my third edition of 5,000 copies, will be ready to mail in March, 1908.

My great feed at 10 cents per bushel will make any plant pay. After experimenting with processed oats, my great feed for 1 1 years, I consider I now have as near a perfect feeding system as can be obtained for either a yarded or free-range plant. Follow my methods, laid down in this book, and success is certain. Read every line carefully. You cannot go wrong, and a fortune awaits any one who builds one of my free range plants, and yarded plants are bound to pay a handsome profit under this system of feeding.
