W. COOK'S POULTRY POWDERS. 



These powders are an invaluable composition for poultry under all 

 circumstances. They are prepared especially to act upon every organ of 

 the body, being stimulating, strengthening and warmth giving — in fact, 

 they counteract many diseases poultry are subject to, improve their 

 appearance by importing a gloss and beauty to the plumage, and keep 

 the fowls in good health by preventing colds and hardening the birds 

 against the severe and constant changes they are subject to in this 

 climate. 



They are especially useful to birds while moulting, when there is a 

 great strain upon tlie system in the growth of the young feathers and 

 they are down in condition and require something to help them. They 

 are also useful in cases where fowls mope about and do not care for their 

 food, being a little out of sorts. The powders will be found most 

 beneficial by acting upon the liver and bringing the birds on to full lay. 

 Those Avho use them are seldom without eggs all through the winter 

 months. They are used very largely and have proved a great boon to 

 poultry keepers. They do not over stimulate the birds and leave them 

 weak, as most other tonics do, but strengthen every organ of the body 

 and can be discontinued at any time without injury to the fowls. I 

 have used them for more than sixteen years, from August to April, 

 about four or five times a week ; if the weather is very severe I use them 

 every day. Many people have used these powders all through the 

 Summer of the past few years with excellent results ; they do not injure 

 the birds in the least, or wear them out sooner, as my customers can 

 testify. I have not been without eggs for more than sixteen years, even 

 in the most severe weather. The same powders are used for bringing up 

 young chickens, turkeys, and pheasants, and this year they have been 

 used Avith great advantage for young ducks ; they have a good effect 

 on all young poultry, assisting them in their growth, getting their 

 feathers, and giA'ing them health and vigour. 



The quantity to be used is a full teaspoonful for eight full grown 

 foAvls and chickens proportionate to age, given from three to five times a 

 week with the morning meal of soft food ; it is best to mix the powder 

 in the dry meal previous to adding the water, or it can be mixed in any 

 kind of soft food. When the fowls are in full lay, or the weather mild, 

 the powders may be omitted for a week or so. A change does them 

 good. I cannot state exactly the time to give it to young chickens, but 

 early hatched ones require it oftener than those later hatched, as the 

 former sutler much from cramp, cold, t^^c, according to the weather. 

 The use of it must depend upon the feeder's judgement. 



These powders are sent to all parts of the world. They help the fowls 

 to ])roduce eggs in the coldest weather, and also when kept in close 

 confinement eggs are produced in abundance. Where many did not get 

 an egg for three months together, since using the, powders they are never 

 without them.
