The Oakes Improved Trap Nest 



Every year poultry-raisers realize more and more how un- 

 profitable it is to feed hens that do not lay. They eat up the food 

 good hens should have and overcrowd the henhouse and yards, 

 particularly during the confinement of winter months. 



The Oakes Improved Trap Nest is made of galvanized iron 

 throughout, thoroughly durable and substantial, and absolutely 

 sanitary. Can be scrubbed and scalded — no cracks or crevices 

 in which lice and mites can escape. The trap is held open by a 

 catch, and when the hen enters the trap falls and keeps her 

 confined in nest until released by attendant. 



Hangs on the wall. Easy to clean. Just pull nest out at bottom 



and dirt falls out. Many poultrymen use two or three lower 



sections and one upper section, placing one above the other and 



thus conserving space. The lower section is made with flat top 



so upper section can rest on same. Length, 46 inches; width, 



13 inches. .

Fleischmann's Pure Dry Yeast 



FOR STOCK AND POULTRY 



Fleischmann's Pure Dry Yeast, added to the feed for poultry, 

 gives baby chicks a good start, makes young birds grow quickly 

 and keeps egg -production high without forcing the birds. It 

 carries hens quickly and easily through the moulting season and 

 maintains a high percentage of fertility and hatchability of eggs. 



Fleischmann's Pure Dry Yeast comes in 1-Ib. pkg. (postpaid 

 SI. 10), 2V 2 -\b. pkg. S2.00 (postpaid S2.10), 25-Ib. cartons S18.50 

 (postpaid S18.90), 100-Ib. bbl. $69.00. It will keep indefinitely. 



Poultry Coop 



Made in single compartment, consequently easy to handle and 

 to store away. The wires on the side sections are spaced to make 

 a narrow mesh, and are so arranged that when the coops are set 

 side by side the wires on the adjoining partitions alternate, making 

 a mesh of 34 inch, thus rendering it impossible for the birds to 

 peck or fight each other between the coops. 



The construction of the Pen Coop is like the single coops here- 

 tofore described. Has two doors, making it especially convenient 

 to secure the birds inside, and which also retains the coop uni- 

 formity of the show room.

The Lawn Park Brood Coop 



Saves the Chicks 



It is made entirely of galvanized materials, will not rust, and 

 absolutely protects chicks against rats, cats, dogs, hawks, vermin, 

 cold, storms, and all other chick enemies. The metal actually 

 repels lice — -that's important. The main part of the Coop is 

 made from heavy galvanized steel, while the Park is made from 

 strong galvanized wire screen, which has the edges neatly bound 

 and strongly reinforced with galvanized steel. The Lawn Park 

 is large and roomy, being 18 inches wide, 19 J-^ inches high, and 

 48 inches long, with Park extended. The Coop and the Park are 

 of equal length. The Park permits the chicks to have plenty of 

 sunshine and fresh air, and also allows them to range on grass. 

 Can be moved from place to place easily, thus giving them a 

 fresh supply daily. Price, $3.75.
