W. COO K'S POULTRY PO WDERS. 



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 imparting a gloss and beauty to the plumage, and keep 

 the fowls in good liealth 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 the system in the growth of the young feathers and 

 they are down in condition and need 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 who use tliem are seldom without eggs all the winter 

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

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

 weak, like most other tonics do ; Dhey strengthen every organ of the body 

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

 They should be used from August to April, about tour or live times a 

 week, and if the weather is severe every day. Many peojjle have 

 used them all through the Summer of the past tew -years with 

 excellent results ; they do not injure the birds in the least, or wear 

 them out sooner, as customers testify. They are invaluable for birds 

 during the breeding season as they help them to produce fertile eggs 

 in abundance. The same powders are used for oringing up young 

 chickens, turkeys, and pheasants, and also with great advantage for 

 young ducks ; they have a good effect on all young poultry, assisting 

 them in their growth, getting their feathers, and giving them health 

 and vigour. 



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

 fowls 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 powder may be omitted for a week or so. A change does them 

 good. Early-hatched birds require it oftener than later-hatched, 

 as the former suffer much from cramp, cold, &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 produce 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.
