I've explained here, just what ten years' research has taught ;
Though 'tis simple, 'tis all scientific —
To gain it, many discouraging times I have fought.
(Follow) Twill make your hens more prolific.

Not only you can get a lot more of eggs —
Less labor, less fret, less toil :
Old hens in the molt, won't have those weak legs;
Their voidings, not so good for the soil.

The heart breaking sight of dead chicks in the shell
Will now be a thing of the past.
Fine-flavored eggs, that will readily sell
At top price, to the classiest class.

Forget all your old hobbies, you will see then at last ;
With vitality your principal thirst,
Old-time theories will soon be a thing of the past —
Make your motto right now—STAMINA FIRST !
