W. COOK'S SPECIALITIES. 



have not mentioned my Specialities in the hoily of this hook 

 except by simply referring once or twice to the Poultry and 

 Roup Powders, of which I am the sole manufacturer. The Poultry

the bii-d in any way. The Powdei-s can be discontinued at any time, 

 and will leave the bii-ds stronger and better for their having been 

 given. They ai-e used very largely in the autumn to bring young 

 pullets on to lay, and to assist the old birds through the moult. 

 There is no dou\it but what the Poultry and Roup Powders have 

 been one of the causes of my success in Poultry keeping as I 

 always use them during the autumn and winter, and have about 

 40,000 customei-s for them. There are tonics sold which \\-ill_make 

 hens lay, but in many cases they only leave the birds weak and injure 

 the egg organs, but there is not the least fear of this with my 

 Poultry Powder. Some people use these Powders the whole year 

 round, they say they get 1/- worth of eggs for every 4d. they 

 spend on the Powder, so that it pays them very well, but I do not 

 adxise anyone to use it during the whole of the summer for the stock 

 birds. 



If the birds stop laying or get a little out of condition in the 

 summer time, then a little of the Powder will bring them on to 

 lay again, but when they always have it, it does not ha\e such 

 effect upon the bird's system because they get used to it. Poultry 

 Keepers who use the Powder during the autumn and winter are 

 seldom without eggs. This Powder is also used very largely for 

 reai-ing Chickens the first three months of their existence, a.s it 

 (revents gapes and cramp, besides assisting them to feather quickly, 

 ^t is also used a great deal in rearing young Turkeys and Pheasants, 

 but I prefer the Roup Powder for that purpose as it acts more 

 upon the liver, and is at the same time a very strengthening tonic. 

 It prevents Fowls, Turkeys and Pheasants from taking cold in wet 

 weather, in fact, it is used very largely for this puiimse, botli in 

 summer and winter. Exhibitors also use it for getting their birds 

 into prime condition, as it makes them healthy and vigorous and 

 brings a. splendid gloss upon their plumage, but it does not act so 

 much upon the egg organs as the Poultry Powders. Fowls before 

 beino- sent to a Show should always have a pill inatle up of Roup 

 Powcier and again when they come hack. I may say the Roup Powder 

 was the first remedy in England introduced for curin- Roup, and it has 

 cured thousands of birds these last few years. I receive testimonials
