84 BRIGGS' SYSTEM OF 



memory in your business. Nothing can be neglected or 

 forgotten, if you wish certain success. 



Trap and poison all rats during the fall and early win- 

 ter, for you cannot raise the two on the same plant. 

 "Common Sense Rat Exterminator" is the best rat poi- 

 son I have ever used, and if you cannot get it of your 

 dealer, write H. H. Cannon, Irvington-on-Hudson, 

 N. Y., who carries it in stock. 



Hopper feed, only wheat feed, such as a good grade 

 of screenings or a cheap grade of wheat. Do not hopper 

 feed corn of any kind and then wonder why you are not 

 getting results. 



Remember, you cannot get a hen laying in a day or 

 two. It takes from two to five weeks^ depending on the 

 condition of the hen and the time of the year. So, for 

 big results, do not neglect your hen and let her stop 

 laying. 



Do not neglect your houses and let them get full of 

 mites and Hce. Go over your roosts at least once a 

 month during summer with kerosene and carbolic acid, 

 half and half — or a good lice exterminator. Also clean 

 droppings from board floors once a week sure, at all 

 times of the year, for lice multiply very rapidly in drop- 

 pings in the summer time on board floors. On the 

 ground it is different.
