me request tor information concerning 
I the use of nest eggs is one that comes to 
the poultryman who keeps the wilder 
breeds of poultry, such as Games, Cochins, 
etc., many of which refuse to go twice 
to the same nest unless there be an egg in 
jit, hut if given a range run seem deter¬ 
mined to steal nests in every out-of-the- 
way place, even though the house be sup¬ 
plied with plenty of nests. One way to 
solve the nest-egg problem is to raise the 
nest-egg gourd, the seeds of which can 
be purchased from most seed houses. 
One package of seeds will produce more 
than a bushel of the egg-shaped fruits, 
which only need picking when the shell 
becomes hard ami allowing to dry, when 
they are ready for use. The vine is a 
rapid grower, and can he trained over 
Hie henhouse windows on the south side 
lor shade, ff troubled with lice in nests, 
use cedar bark or twigs for nest foun¬ 
dation, and the lice will not bother as 
they dislike the smell of cedar. JESSIE,

Cheap Feed and High Priced Eggs 
—make the industrious laying hen 
Queen of the Barnyard these days. 
Don’t let your hens become fat and lazy. Don’t let the» 
egg organs lie dormant all winter long. 
You can speed up egg production. 
You can make your hens lay now by feeding.

PAN-A-CEA 
Universally Endorsed—Universally Used 
—by the big ten-thousand-hen plants—by tbe average 
farmer with his 200 hens—by the back-yarder with his 
only a dozen hens to consume the table scraps. Pan-a-ce-a 
tones up the dormant egg organs, so that the proper 
amount of a hen's food goes to egg-making—and not all to 
fat, flesh and laziness when it’s action and eggs you want. 
A Pan-a-ee-a hen is always a hungry hen, an indus¬ 
trious hen—she gets off the roost winter mornings ready 
to scratch for her breakfast. You can depend upon it that 
the healthy, hungry, scratching, singing hen is the laying 
hen—the paying hen. 
Always buy Pan-a-ce-a according to the size of your 
flock. Tell your dealer how many hens you have. He 
has a package to suit. Good results guaranteed. 
SSc, 75c and $1.50 packages. £5 lb. pad, $3.00; 100 
lb. drum, $10.00. Except in the fax West and Canada.
