Heavy Feeding Does NOT Mean Heavy Laying 



It is not so much what you feed — but how you feed 



Successful poultrymen will tell you that the secret of the 200-egg hen is 

 RIGHT feeding. Keep her healthy by making her scratch. Don't let her 

 gorge. Remember, layers of fat are not layers of eggs. 



Coates Automatic Feeder and Exerciser 



makes heavy layers. Keeps hens healthy by giving them variety and plenty of exercise while feeding. 

 All metal — lasts a lifetime. Feeds grain and mash. Four sizes — one for little chicks. Cannot 

 clog — no parts to get out of order. Used and endorsed by successful poultrymen everywhere. 



We also make Sanitary Drinking Fountains. Send for our book on Feeders and Fountains. It 

 has valuable feeding facts. Every poultryman should have a copy. Free on request. Write today. 

 We PREPAY shipments anywhere in the U. S.
