Time to Order Baby Chicks 



Only 120 days left to do, not your 

 Christmas shopping, but your shopping 

 of baby chicks. A great many people 

 waited in purchasing baby chicks last 

 year in order to obtain some lower prices. 

 With the various hatcherymen setting in 

 proportion to orders received, there is 

 very little chance for a sux'plus of chicks 

 this spring. 



It looks as though the wise move this 

 year will be to buy baby chicks early, so 

 that the pullets resulting from the chicks 

 will come into production in time enough 

 to reap the cream of the November egg 

 prices.

The Key to 

 Cleaner Milk 



The work of producing 

 clean milk is greatly 

 simplified M'hen the 

 dairy barn floor is 

 concrete. 



Better still, a concrete 

 floor in your dairy barn 

 saves labor, lowering 

 your producing cost. 



Modernize Your 

 Barn Now! 



You can build a concrete 

 floor yourself. Once laid, 

 it is permanent, odor- 

 and -vermin proof, and 

 easily kept clean. 



A postcard will bring 

 complete information.

Is it Safe to Switch 



Rations? 



A farmer once asked one of our 

 New England extension sei-vice 

 feeding authorities if he thought 

 the belief sound that it is danger- 

 ous to switch from one manufac- 

 tured ration to another. The au- 

 thority replied that it all depends 

 on the rations involved and in the 

 way the switch is made. He went 

 on to show that if grain rations are 

 composed of quality ingredients ap- 

 pealing to the taste of the stock 

 for which they are intended and are 

 mixed in the right proportion, it is 

 safe to go from one to the other 

 merelv blending the two for a time 

 to eliminate the slight danger of 

 throwing the animals or birds off 

 their feed by the change. 



Asked how fast the change should 

 be made, he said, "If you are 

 switching from a superior to an 

 inferior mixture, the slower the 

 better — take as long as you possibly 

 can. If you switch from an inferior 

 to a superior mixture, the quicker 

 you effect the complete change the 

 better — a day or two at most." 



Eastern States feeds are com- 

 posed of top quality ingredients 

 which are extremely palatable to 

 the stock for which the mixtures 

 are blended. The proportion of in- 

 gredients in each mixture is deter- 

 mined by feed authorities in the 

 states served by the Eastern States 

 Farmers' Exchange, the men train- 

 ed by education and experience on 

 this technical subject who are de- 

 voting their entire time to serving 

 the interests of feeders in their 

 respective states. Such feeds can 

 be turned to with safety and profit, 

 and scores of dairymen and poul- 

 trymen are switching to Eastern 

 States rations every month and are 

 proving on their several farms that 

 it pays to do so. 



No farm is too small and none 

 too large to benefit from Eastern 

 States service. If you also are 

 thinking of trying the service which 

 thousands are endorsing with their 

 patronage, write the office.
