BUTTERMILK STARTING FEED 



Raises Husky Chicks 



A Ready Prepared Mash for baby chicks and all self -feeding young fowls. This remark- 

 able feed — originated by Conkey and prepared through processes controlled and used 

 exclusively by Conkey is a complete ration— containing all the elements needed for 

 safely starting baby chicks, ducklings, goslings, poults, guineas, pheasants, etc. 



HIS superior chick mash was the 

 first commercial poultry feed con- 

 taining buttermilk — that is why 

 we call it the only ORIGINAL 

 buttermilk starting feed. 



Conkey's did not "just happen" 

 — it is a scientifically-balanced feed 

 as clean and wholesome and as 

 conscientiously-prepared as "infant food." 

 Selected, plump grains, ground to proper fine- 

 ness, are combined with other ingredients so as 

 to make the feed readily digestible, palatable 

 and nutritious. TASTE it, SMELL it, that's the 

 way to judge a chick feed. 



Conkey's carries buttermilk in just the right 

 proportion as an aid in prevention of bowel 

 troubles, White Diarrhea, "leg weakness, "etc. The 

 buttermilk is Semi-Liquid buttermilk, blended 

 with the other ingredients by the ORIGINAL 

 process in such a way as to preserve the appe- 

 tizing, tonic, and other properties of the newly- 

 churned product. 



The moisture in the buttermilk is drawn off 

 by the exclusive Conkey process in such a way 

 as not to subject it to the terrific heat usually 

 'required in "drying" buttermilk. 



Lactic acid in buttermilk is described as an 

 "Intestinal Broom" which sweeps away un- 

 friendly bacteria and disease germs in the deli- 

 cate digestive tract. Buttermilk is also rich in 

 one of the vitamines necessary to growing* birds. 

 It is a wonderful appetizer, aid to digestion, and 

 flesh builder. 



However, it is not the buttermilk nor the other 

 ingredients alone that causes people to declare 

 that their chicks grow twice as fast on Conkey's.

It is not the buttermilk alone that protects the 

 chicks from disease during the first critical eight 

 weeks. The secret is in the combination of these 

 materials by the Conkey method — the balancing 

 of the ration, as Conkey alone knows how. 



Don't be influenced by "cheaper" imitations 

 labeled "buttermilk" — that word may be used 

 to deceive unwary buyers — to cover up a mul- 

 titude of "sinful" grains, mill sweepings, poi- 

 sonous weed seeds, musty screenings, worthless 

 by-products, or other poor material having little 

 or no nutritive value. 



Conkey's is so palatable that one poultryman 

 said it ought to be used for "breakfast food." 

 One woman wrote : "My chicks just love Conkey's. 

 It is so tasty, and my, how they do grow! Better 

 still, we didn't have a single loss in the present 

 hatch, no White Diarrhea or other bowel troubles 

 like before we began using Conkey's." 



FEED IT FIRST 8 WEEKS 



Conkey's is all the chicks need the first eight weeks except greens, charcoal 

 clean water and some fine scratch grains in the litter for exercise. Give grit and 

 from the start. During the second week add green stuff and in the fourth week 



cracked grains, like Conkey's 



Chick Grains.
