I want to tell you how one man took $50 worth of my kind of 

 poultry and in two years multiplied them to sixteen hundred 

 dollars in value. He was a novice and started in a box stall. A 

 true, and convincing story, told by the man himself. You can do 

 the same, or start smaller and grow. More experiences of the same 

 kind, illustrated. Ask me for the book. It is free.

fO. K. Poultry Littery 



Trade Mark. 

 So far ahead of everything else in the way of litter that every 

 beeeder is adopting it as rapidly as he finds out about it. 

 Send TO-DAY for FREE sample of "0. K." LITTER 



Tell us how many birds you keep, and we will tell you 

 how much "O. K." LITTER you need 



NOTHING FINER FOR THE BROODERS 



When you use "O. K." LITTER you need no dropping 

 boards; clean your house only three or four times a year; use no 

 disinfectants or insecticides, as lice and vermin do not flourish 

 where "0. K." LITTER is used; your house and brooder are 

 always sweet and clean, with positively no 

 odor; the feathers and legs are bright and shiny. 

 In the Brooder one lot of "O. K." LITTER lasts 

 until the chicks have outgrown the brooder without 

 one single cleaning out. The greatest labor saver.
