- By Using
Whether your poultry flocks shall grow better or poorer as the years pass will be largely determined by the quality of
your males. Poor males will decrease the production of the future flocks, just as good males will*largely be responsible for in
creased production.
The value of good males has long been known by many, but they have been handicapped in that it was not always pos
sible to obtain males from high record females. But that condition does not exist today and the person who desires to improve
his flock or to perpetuate the egg-laying qualities of his flock has no difficulty in securing the proper males. Money invested in
good males is money well spent—money that will come back more than two-fold.
Many a person has been lured into the poultry business by the prospects of quick returns, only to make a dismal failure
of the game simply because his methods_were not sufficiently economical to give him a reasonable profit.
One of the very best ways to obtain a reasonable profit is to get BETTER MALES.
Poultrymen should learn their lesson from the Dairymen, who have long come to understand that poor sires are a fi
nancial burden, not an asset. When poultrymen buy or raise better males, learn more about economical methods of feeding, as
well as the science of feeding, study the scientific handling of eggs and dressed poultry—then and not until then will they reap
profits commensurate with their investment as well as their labor. Fortunately poultry farmers are seeing the light; gradually
they are coming to the conviction that ready money does not mean reasonable profit, uniess progress and economy keep the cost
of production reasonably below the market price. The industrial background of the poultry industry is the surest indication we
have that the industry is going ahead.

A Selling Price Low Enough to Encourage Demand.
A Productive Flock.
A Reasonable Profit to the Producer.
