HAVEN'S ROUP PILLS— For the Cure of Roup, Ca- 

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

 ciers, farmers and others, whenever roup appeared in a flock, to kill 

 the fowls affected and remove them immediately to prevent the 

 spread of the disease. This practice is, happily, no longer necessary, 

 since the introduction of Haven's Roup Fills. Price, per box,

UMPERTflL EGG POOD aTT Poultry. 



1 * ^ ▼ \ ^ 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 Pood is fed according to direc- 

 tions, sick and drooping chicks will never be seeu. 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 

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

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



brau, 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 ot the egg food, and wet up with hot water in cold 

 weather. Cholera. Koup, 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% lbs., 51.00 ; 6 lbs., $2.00 ; 25 lb. keg, £6.25.

E. E. Harris, Westerville, Neb.: "I cannot use 

 Ivords sufficient to give Mastodon Corn the praise it 

 deserves; but I will say it is the largest eared, longest 

 brain aud earliest to mature of anv larue corn I ever 

 taw. I planted mine the 29th day of Slay and septefn- 

 v-r 15th, corn was out of the way of frost. Praise the 

 iastodon to the top." 



H. W. Bremer, Andover, Iowa - "In a few days I 

 will send you a sworn statement of Clark's Early 

 Mastodon Corn rp.ised from one measured acre of 

 ground this year. You will undoubtedly be surprised 

 at the large yield, but if you could have seen the corn 

 you would say yourself, it is Mastodon. Folks that see 



it claim it the deepest grained, longest eared, yellow 

 dent corn they ever saw ; all w ant to know where I got 

 it, of course 1 tell them and advise them if they want 

 the best of all kinds of seeds, to send to you and they 

 will be sure to get the best that can he purchased any- 

 where. I weighed several ears of Mastodon, one ear 

 weighed 2 pounds, 12 ounces; several weighed 2H 

 pounds, and a >jreat many went from V.i to 1% pounds, 

 which is proof enough of it being rightly named Masto- 

 don. I, for my part, will not plant any other kind here- 

 after, till some better is found, which I think is impos- 

 sible, as your Clark's Early Mastodon Corn is simply 

 perfection itself."

Hezekiah Harp, Wolfsville, Md.: "I think Masto- 

 don the best big corn I ever saw. I only planted one 

 acre of it. as I did not like the seed. Had we had a dry 

 season, I would have grown the most corn off of that 

 one acre that was ever grown in this country. The 

 season was so wet, I was compelled to put the muzzels 

 on the horses to plow the first time, part of my acre 

 drowned ; the wettest season I ever saw. I had it along 

 the road from Wolfsville to Smithsburg, and it was 

 noticed by a great many people. I send you a fair 

 sample and think it grown to perfection : husked it 

 October 24th. I am in the extreme north end of Middle- 

 ' town Valley ; season extremely short."
