J. STECKLER SEED CO., LTD., ALMANAC AND 



Pooltry Live StocK DenaiimeQi. 



While we have been filling orders for 

 eggs for the past 5 or 6 years we find 

 that they do not bear transportation with 

 safety and satisfactorily, hence we advise 

 our customers and friends to order poul- 

 try instead. In the event that eggs are 

 ordered, we want it fully understood that 

 we are not responsible for the eggs after 

 they leave our establishment as to un- 

 fertility due to transportation. 



Due to the extreme high price of feed 

 of all kinds, we are compelled to increase 

 the price of all live stock. ' Feed is a 

 little over double the usual price on corn 

 and grain of any kind, hence the 'small 

 increase put on prices of birds and all 

 live stock does not begin to pay us the 

 difference in cost.
