STANDARD POULTRY SUPPLIES 95 
GRIT— your bBirDs NEED IT. 
it is an established fact among poultrymen that in order to make the poultry business 
a success, a first-class grit must be used. Ordinary water-washed smooth pebbles are not 
“orit.” Grit must have a formation which enables it to retain its grinding qualities under 
the relaxation and contraction of the gizzard. We give below a list of all the “Standard” 
and best “Grits” for Poultry and Pigeons.

ant article for the poultry 
yard through the winter,

\ 1 H 4 tire year, as experience

J} summer. Our shell is 
made entirely of OYSTER 
SHELL, NOT CLAM, as much 
is that is offered, and is

own shell. We have it fine for young chicks and for 
for mashes, and coarser for regular use.

inum, pi and magne ;

essential to poultry or 
they will soon droop and 
die. Disease will 
soon disappear if 
Mica Crystal Grit 
is kept constantly in 
the feeding pens as 
nature expected it 
should be. One 
week’s trial never 
fails to con- 
vince that its 
use pays; you 
will soon no- 
tice the blood 
red combs, 
high yellow 
color of the 
yolks of the 
eggs, good 
health, and 
large increase in eggs, and you will learn never to be 
without Mica Crystal Grit. Winter seems to be the 
natural season for its use, but it has proven so far super- 
ior to smooth gravel and sand usually picked up about the 
premises that it is now used both summer and winter.
