Excerpt from Making Poultry Pay: By the Philo System; North, South, East and West The possibilities for a profitable business with intensive poultry culture have never been so plainly visible as at the present time. We believe that greater strides in scientific poultry breeding will be made during the next five years than have been made in all the time past. While it is possible for one person to accomplish wonderful results in any one line of work, the greatest successes are had when the combined efforts of many people of ability are concentrated on a certain line of work. This Philo System Booklet is published for the purpose of bringing together the experiences of successful poultry keepers, that the combined efforts of some of the best talent may be used for the advancement of our chosen occupation in a way to do the greatest amount of good to the largest number of people. We could not be of greater service to mankind than in helping to provide away by which waste material may be converted into the most valuable food. While we hope and expect to help many more thousands of people to establish a profitable poultry business, we would be satisfied if able to do no more than to help many to a better living and happier homes by utilizing waste material and to provide means for them to study nature and the natural instinct of birds. The table scraps that are now being thrown away in thousands of homes may be used to produce more eggs than an equal number of families have to use, and there are many things in the city garden and on the farm that can be turned into the most valuable food. There is nothing in our opinion that would more surely help to correct the evil of trusts and the unnecessarily high prices of food than to provide means that would enable every family to produce the most delicious food right in their own yards at less than half the cost of other food at trust prices. Conditions are not as they should be when it is necessary to pay the price of a half days wages to buy meat for the dinner of a small family. There is nothing of greater value for the production of eggs or growing the broilers, than lawn clippings, either green or dried. At present they are generally thrown away or burned. Our lawn has never been more attractive to us than when its weekly returns in fine clippings are converted into valuable eggs or poultry, and it has never looked right to us to see so much good land and labor for ornamental purposes only, when there are not sufficient means to provide the necessary food from the regular income. We certainly approve of attractive homes, but we are sure they will be a greater source of pleasure if every inch of land is made to pay, as well as to look attractive. While the improved methods of poultry keeping have already been tested and have proven a success, it is also true that the most beautiful flowers, vegetables, berries and poultry can be raised on the same plot of ground with the most abundant yield and a better quality, by the combination of poultry with the garden. The best people are no longer ashamed to be connected with the poultry industry as in former years, when it was considered a side issue to a farm or something for people to do whose time was not very valuable. This accounts for the thousands of years required to master the problems of scientific poultry breeding. With the cooperation of the half million readers of this publication we hope to do much to advance the intesest and knowledge of poultry.
