gans of reproduction. Any hen will lay eggs under normal conditions, but 

 the domestic fowl is not in its natural habitat in the first place, and in 

 addition you demand eggs in the winter, under conditions unknown 

 to its wild and natural state. And still some thoughtless or ignorant 

 people say to follow nature, when, if you take their advice, your fowls 

 would not lay enough in a year to pay for their keeping for six months. 

 Not only must that which is lost from its changed mode of living, but that 

 which is demanded above its natural production, be made up in some way 

 or another. It must be made up in scientific care and feeding, or its 

 capacity is stunted instead of increased as we demand. A properly- 

 made tonic, to stimulate eg- production in a common sense manner, 

 becomes a necessity. CONKEY'S LAYING TONIC has this object in 

 view to keep the bowels in good condition, to assist digestion and assimi- 

 lation of egg-producing and strength making material, to give vigor to 

 the fowls and to induce exercise, so as to tone the bird up generally to 

 meet our unnatural demands. By doing this the fowl is kept at its best, 

 and egg production can be depended upon. We are in the chicken busi- 

 ness for money, and is it not better to keep a fowl at its maximum pro- 

 duction for two years, and then renew the stock, than to keep a fowl 

 for three, four and five years at a lower rate of production? 



CONKEY'S LAYING TONIC is not a food in ^ itself and, in its use, 

 you escape paying for bran and middlings which comprise the bulk of inferior 

 "egg producers," and which you can supply for less money from your own 

 bins. The ingredients used by us are reliable and effective. THERE IS 

 NOT ONE PARTICLE OF FILLER IN THIS TONIC, and that is why 

 we guarantee that if given according to directions, it will increase egg 

 production. Don't confuse this with cheaper preparations, or with those 

 which may have disappointed you. CONKEY'S LAYING TONIC will 

 insure strength in cocks, more eggs and more fertile ones from hens, and 

 rapid growth and vigorous life in little chicks. It is a big amount of 

 value at small cost. CONKEY'S LAYING TONIC should never be fed 

 alone; it is a strong medicine and must be mixed with food as directed.
