THE ARGOSY—ADVERTISING SECTION. $2002° In Six Months From 20 Hens ghz the average poultryman that would seem impossible, and when we tell you that we have actually done a $500.00 Poultry business with 20 hens on a corner in the city garden 30 feet wide by 4o feet long we are simply stating facts. It would not be possible to get such retums by any one of the systems of poultry keeping recommended and_ practiced by the American people, still it is an easy matter when the new PHILO SYSTEM is adopted. The Philo System Is Unlike All Other Ways of Keeping Poultry and in many respects is just the reverse, accom- pushing things in poultry work that have always een considered impossible, and getting unheard of results that are hard to believe without seeing; however, the facts remain the same and we can prove to you every word of the above statement. The New System Covers All Branches of the Work Necessary for Success from selecting the breeders to marketing the product. It tells how to get eggs that will hatch, how to hatch nearly every egg and how to raise nearly all the chicks hatched. It gives complete plans in detail how to make everything necessary to run the business and at less than half the cost required to handle the poultry business in any other manner. There is nothing complicated about the work, and any man or woman that can handle a saw and hammer can do the work. Two Pound Broilers in Eight Weeks are raised in a space of less than a square foot to the broiler without any loss,and the broilers are of the very best uality, bringing here three cents per pound above the highest mar- ket price. Our Six Months Old Pullets Are Laying At the Rate of 24 Eggs Each Per Month, ina space of two square feet for each bird. No reen cut bone of any escription is fed, and the food used is inexpensive as compared with food others are using. Our new book, the Philo System of Progressive Poultry Keeping, gives full particulars regarding these wonderful discoveries with simple, easy to under- stand directions that are rignt to the point, and 15 pages of illustrations showing all branches of the work from start to finish. Don’t Let the Chicks Die in the Shell One of our secrets of success is to save all the chickens that are fully developed at hatching time, whether they can crack the shell or not. It isa simple trick and believed to be the secret of the Ancient Egyptians and Chinese which enabled them to sell the chicks at 10 cents a dozen. Chicken Feed at 15 Cents a Bushel Our book tells-how to make the best green food with but little trouble and have a good supply any day in the year, winter or summer. It is just as impossible to get a large egg yield without green food as it is to keep a cow without hay or fodder.

The advantages of your system are many, and the quality of the large flock of oultry you have raised on your city lot is the est evidence cf its success. Geo. L. Harding, Binghamton, N.Y. Valley Falls, N.Y., Sept. 5, 1907. It was my privilege to spend a week in El- mira during August. during which time I saw the practical working of the Philo System of Poul- try Keeping, and was surprised at the results accomplished in a small corner of a city yard. ‘* Seeing is believing,” they say, andif I had not seen, it would have been hard to believe that such results could have followed so small an outlay of space, time and money. (Rev,) W. W. Cox. Windsor, Vt., March 8, 1908. I consider the one dollar I invested in the Philo System, Poultry Review and American Poultry Advocate, the best investn ent for the money I ever made.
