Who Beats This?— How does our record 
of 100 hens for the year 1.402 compare with 
the average? Number of eggs sold, 767 
dozen, $188.05; amount of chickens sold, 
alive, $41.23; number of pullets raised to 
keep, 100 at 50 cents each, $50; amount of 
eggs and chickens used by ourselves in 
three families, no account kept of them, 
but estimate, $30. Total, $309.28. We grow 
our own grain and feed as much as we 
think they need, but have kept no account 
of the amount of corn, wheat and oats 
fed. We keep B. P. Rocks and R. C. W. 
I.,eghorns and cross them for layers. My 
two sons attend to the care and feeding of 
the hens. t. m. r. 
Erie, Pa. 
Feeding Notes.—I think Mapes Is on the 
wrong track starving his hens; he could 
gain all or better results by feeding just 
a little short every day or perhaps two 
meals a day would be better. People who 
have tried the two-meal system on them¬ 
selves have found that the greatest objec¬ 
tion to it is the big appetite they have, 
which tempts to over-eating. I have fed 
more or le.ss stock for over 20 years, and 
have always had best success in not feed¬ 
ing quite all they would eat. I have seen 
bad results in the West from keeping feed 
before stock all the time. 1 have a cow 
that is a heavy milker for this country, 
and 1 find she does best when fed a couple 
of pounds less grain than she w'ill eat. I 
have had her drox) off very much in milk 
when fed to her limit, and she came back 
when 1 dropped off a couple of pounds of 
grain. She will easily make eight to 12 
pounds all Winter in dry feed which is 
pretty good. 1 think, for a common cow. 
1 have fed /)ne bushel a day of turnips all 
Winter with nothing but good results, and 
we have a fancy bmter trade. a. f. a.

That*s what a. New £ngland Farmer secured by liberally using 
BRADLEY’S FERTILIZERS on his strawberries. He had 
tried other brands without J^anJorable re^ulf^. 
You see, Bradley’s goods never disappoint. They are scientilically 
correct. Results are as sure as that 2 plus 2 make 4. 
Use Bradley’s on all your crops and your farm will yield at least 50% 
more than otherwise. It is the yield of big, early, fine quality of fruits and 
vegetables that the farmer must have in order to make money. Bradle}’’s 
ju'oduccs these every time. 
It’s economy to use Bradley’s; it is alw.ays the cheapest when crops 
are compared. 
If you are odered something “just as good,” say “ Bradley’s or nothing.” 
It’s money in your pocket to get and use Bradley’s Fertilizers, — the 
standard of the world. For forcible fertilizer facts, write to
