HAVEN'S ROTTP RILLS For the cure of Roup, Ca- 

 tarrh, Cold and Distemper. It was formerly the habit of fan-

 fowls affected and remove them immediately to prevent the spread oi 

 the disease. This practice is, happily, no longer necessary, since the 

 introduction of Haven's Roup Pills. Per box, 30 cents, postpaid. 



FOR ALL KINDS OF POULTRY 



Will Make Your Hens Lay 



Thousands of letters from all parts of the country have been received 

 testifying to its remarkable properties in improving the condition of our 

 domestic fowls and increasing their egg production. It keeps fowls in best 

 condition, and makes poultry the most profitable stock on the farm. It is esti- 

 mated that one-half the chicks and turkeys annually hatched die before 

 reaching maturity. When the Imperial Egg Food is fed according to direc- 

 tions, sick and drooping chicks will never be seen. It supplies all the needed 

 material for forming bone, muscle, and feathers, and by its gentle tonic effect, 

 .strengthens the digestive organs, and lays the foundation for vigorous, healthy, 

 and therefore profitable fowls. They will also be fitted for market a month earlier 



than by common treatment. Moulting fowls should be fed with the Imperial 

 Egg Food two or three times a week. A little attention during the weakening 

 moulting season will be repaid largely by the early laying condition, and the 

 fine appearance of the plumage. For ordinary feed, mix one pound of the 

 " Imperial " thoroughly with fifty- weight of meal, or half meal and half wheat 

 bran, and wet up for morning feed, with either hot or cold water. To start lay- 

 ing rapidly, in the usual quantity of meal, or bran and meal, for 15 or 20 fowls 

 stir in a tablespoonful of the egg food, and wet up with hot water in cold 

 weather. Cholera, Roup, and common ailments seldom appear where the Egg 

 Food is given. For young chickens and turkeys, mix a teaspoonful with the 

 feed for 15 or 20, and feed every other day. Price, trial package, postpaid, 50 

 cents. By express, 1 lb., 50 cts.; 2 l / 2 lbs., $1.00 ; 6 lbs., $2.00 ; 25 lb. kegs, 6.25.
