A leaky roof on your hen-house will cost you a eood 

 many ciollars in loss. You needn't expect any profits if 

 the watei- drips or pours all over your poultry every 

 time it rains or snows. 



"STAR" FELT ROOFING 



makes a water-tight, "jnst right" roof for the hen- 

 huuse. Will keep your poultry dry and warm so they 

 can work and save you all the loss the leaks cause. 

 It's cheaper, looks better, and is better than shingles 

 ur metal, and lasts longer; made in 1, 2 and 3 ply, 

 especially for poultry houses and coops. You lay it 

 yourself. Write for prices and free samples today.
