drop his dignity. Birds have even sold
for nearly $1,000 apiece. $500 birds are
being sold every day.
To the farmers ] would say this IL
an age OF improvement and when you
see chance TO improve you should
grasp II. Do a little more hard think
ing and you will do less hard work.
the man who works his brains Is the
man who is making the money. The
man who is earning g. a day Is the
man who is working with his hands
alone, while the man who Is earning
$40 n day is using his brains as well
as his Drawn. II you put brains into
the poultry business as well as muscu-
lar action. you will reap a great har-
vest every day.
am glad the farmers are finding
out as never before the possibilities In
keeping thoroughbred poultry. They
are learning by practical experience
that pure bred poultry gives the most
satisfactory results. and that no line
OF farming pays better than poultry
and egg production. The young man
on the farm to-day has no greater or
grander business proposition than the
poultry industry offers. he is privi-
legged 10 use his brains as much as our
merchant. professional man. or any
other person. and by using them he
can climb the rocky road faster to
prosperity. Subscribe for one or moro
poultry journals. they will teach you
things you never knew before. they ex-
plain everything that you do not un-
derstand. you cannot get along without
them. have taken Ave poultry Jour-
nails for the past four years. have al
ways found them interesting and full
OF good facts. | hope the day Is not
far OF that when you ask a farmer
what kind OF stock he keeps he can say
thoroughbreds. and not mongrels.
Mongrels are mongrels. and you cam
not make anything else out Of them.
Get rid of them. do not have them
around. they eat more. lay less and
are unsightly.
What looks prettier on a farm than
a fine flock OF thoroughbred chickens?
In showing a friend or a stranger about
your farm. you will take great pleas
ure In showing him your flock OF thor.
oughbreds. you will interest him; he
win 20 away thinking about them and
will tell his friends all about them
What q pleasure pure bred stock
brings, In starting | think II best 10
select one breed: make a study OF
them and look after their wants. The
profit and prosperity OF the business
now depends upon your own Efforts.
II Is only few years ago when you
sold your eggs for nine cents per dozen
and had to take all out In trade. To-
day you receive from 80 to 40 cents
per dozen in cash and from 10 TO Is
cents per pound for live fowls Now
where Is there anything paying like
poultry on your farm! | believe farm
ers on so. 75 and l00-acre farms can
make dollars out OF poultry where they
make cents out OF grain. Do not look
upon the poultry business as foolish
hobby. I, is worthy OF your best ef.
forts: Il has grown from Insignificant
proportions into one Of the greatest In
dustries OF our country. II Is unriv-
aled by the coal mine. the gold mine.
the wheat. corn. oats. wool OF any
other agricultural product in the world.
It's value annually running into the
millions. Thanks TO incubators and
breeders. they have been introduced
into the poultry world the last few
years. and without them II would DO
utterly impossible to get the results
shown above. ! am glad to see farm
ers by the hundreds to-day buying In
cubators and breeders. There Is no
reason why anyone cannot run them
successfully: they have helped thou
sands to make money out OF poultry:
they will help you.
This Is undoubtedly an age OF adj
vertising. Our busiaess men Of to-day
are all extensive advertisers: they are
noted far and wide: Il Is beneficial to
them and decided benefit 10 the pub
lie as well as there are always people
looking for Just what you might have
for sale. II Is strictly a mail order
business. Advertise just what you
have and sell Just what you advertise.
Don't tell lies about your stock. The
American people will not be hum
bugged. An advertisement In a good
poultry journal win sell your stock.
II also pays TO carry an nd In your
local paper: Il costs but little and let's
the people know for miles around
about you and your stock. besides
local papers are sent all over the
United States. giving you good results
for very little money spent The be-
ginner might be somewhat timid about
spending a little money In advertising.
but went to say through constant
and liberal advertising a great poultry
business can be built up.
Another very important help TO the
poultry Industry are the poultry shows:
hey are as much needed to poultry
culture az our schools are 20 our coun-
Try. they help the beginner and the
I'D fancier-are educational from start
20 finish.
