Why You Should Feed Bol- 
giano’s ‘‘Square Deal ’”’ 
Buttermilk Laying Mash 
The question is often asked whether 
or not a mash feed for poultry is es- 
sentially necessary. You can prove 
this for yourself by watching your own 
flock and asking yourself this ques- 
tion, “‘ Why is it I get more eggs from 
my hens during the summer than I do 
in the winter?” This is a fact estab- 
lished from experience, and it is due 
to the green food and the animal pro- 
tein in the form of bugs, worms and 
grubs the hens are able to find for 
themselves, for it is the animal pro- 
tein which furnishes the material 
necessary for egg production. Now 
when cold weather sets in and nature’s 
supply of animal protein is cut off, 
isn’t it only logical that egg produc- 
tion will continue if the element is 
furnished from another source. It is 
not only logical, but it is a fact, and 
“Square Deal”. Buttermilk Laying 
Mash will do it.

retarded, if not stopped completely.

How to Feed “ Square Deal ” 
Buttermilk Mash 
Grain in its natural form is relished 
more by poultry than when finely 
ground. This is so because of their 
nature, and if the hen can eat her fill 
of grain, she will not consume very 
much mash, but will just pick out the 
choicest morsels of beef scrap, ete. If 
your hens consume too much grain 
they will become fat and lazy, and a 
fat hen will not lay. Grain supplies 
heat and energy for body mainte- 
nance, and material for the manu- 
facture of the yolk. Our mash feed 
takes care of this to a certain extent, 
Capable of Producing 
The productivity of a hen is deter- 
mined by the productivity of the par- 
ent steck. Therefore, it is imperative 
that you know first of all that your 
chicks are hatched from eggs laid by 
stock bred for egg production. This is the first step to insure 
good production, and after the chicks have been raised properly 
to maturity, it is then essential to supply the elements neces- 
sary to manufacture the eggs. When you know the eggs are 
there and your pullets are in fine condition and receiving the 
proper feed, you can rest assured that they will produce. 
How to Secure Steady Egg Production 
From actual experiments conducted at various State Agri- 
cultural Colleges it has been determined that a mash feed con- 
taining 20 per cent animal protein feed produces the best 
results, provided that the required percentage of protein is 
present. To give a concrete example low protein beef scraps 
may be used to bring the mash feed up to the required 20 per 
cent, but while the volume will be present, the protein percentage 
will fall short of that required for a balanced ration. The 
three best known sources of supply from which animal protein 
is available are beef scrap, fish meal, and powdered buttermilk. 
* Square Deal ” Laying Mash contains in the proper proportions 
these three ingredients—each of which is of the highest quality 
in its class. 
The Value of Dried Buttermilk in the Mash 
There may be some question raised regarding the digesti- 
bility of dried buttermilk. Formerly in the drying process the 
digestibility was reduced and a large portion of the lactic acid 
content destroyed, but by the process under which the butter- 
milk we use in our mash is now prepared, neither of these vital 
elements is affected. Vitamines, another extremely important 
feed element, and one found in only a few feeds, is presented in 
best form in dried buttermilk. On account of the concentrated 
form of dried buttermilk, the protein, milk sugar, butterfat, 
and lactic acid content is increased threefold over the condensed 
product. Lactic Acid is also a very necessary element, as it has 
a tendency to keep the digestive tract of the fowl in perfect con- 
dition by ridding it of disease germs, ete. This is an all 
important consideration when you take cognizance of the fact

and in addition furnishes the neces- 
sary elements to complete the egg 
formation. Keep “Square Deal ”

hens continually.

‘Square Deal ’”? Mash Produces Results—. 
Meaning Profits for You 
“Square Deal ” Buttermilk Mash is a feed which has just got 
to produce results. This is so because it is composed of only 
the best ingredients properly balanced, contains no medicants 
or adulterants, or in other words it is nothing less than a mix- 
ture of pure, sweet, clean grain and animal products. It is 
prepared not with the idea of forcing egg production to the 
limit and thereby weakening the constitution and vitality of 
the hen, but to keep the flock in the best possible condition and 
supply those elements which are known to be essential to insure 
steady, normal egg production. To be certain that you are 
getting a real “Square Deal” Feed at a real “Square Deal ” 
price, insist on the feed in the bag illustrated herewith.
