SUCCESS IN POULTRY CULTURE 
than I or anybody else can give you. 
I have just been reading a newspaper 
article about the infant death-rate de- 
creasing in Germany since the war began. 
Men who claim to know the cause state 
that it is because of the short milk supply, 
which forces mothers to give their babies 
breast milk instead of other milk from a 
bottle. And because nature’s food in 
nature’s quantities has been given to the 
German babies, the death-rate has de- 
creased, notwithstanding the unfavorable 
environment that surrounds them. 
But you ask, What has this German 
war-baby story got to do with raising 
baby chicks? A great deal. It shows you 
what nature’s food, given in nature’s 
quantities, will do for human babies, thus 
pointing out the way to success in raising 
baby chicks. And then, too, I have just 
sent you to the field with a mother hen 
and her young brood, to snatch from 
Nature, if you can, her secret of success 
in raising baby chicks. Search diligently 
and you will find out what she feeds them 
and how much; and there alone with 
mother hen and Mother Nature and the 
baby chicks you will learn the great lesson
