“THE STORY OF THE 
These tive White I/eKhorn pullets won the silver cup and seven 
medals in the last North American Ijaying Competition. This pen 
produced I,i:l9 ckks, the highest official record made by any pen of 
five hens bred on American soil. Individuals produced 251, 250, 224, 
222 and 192. Remember, we bred these 
COMPETITION WINNERS 
which defeated the IiCKhorn entries of Tom Barron and Ed. Cara. We 
still own them as well as hundreds of other heavy-layers, carrying 
the same blood. A thorough-bred English cockerel sired a pullet 
that broke all records, making an official rec«>r<l of 314 eKRS, in 
North American Egg baying Competition, 1915. If you want Leghorns 
that lay, if official ejjK-records mean anything to you, you should 
secure our strain. Our Reds, Wyandottes and Orpingtons are also 
WHITE WYANDOTTE wonderful layers. We have many individuals which hold remarkable 
Official Record, 265 Eggs Official records and this bred-to-lay blood is strong in every bird in 
our great flocks.

mention the fact that our pen of S.C. Wliite Leghorns entered in the J9I3-1<> North

Feeding Indian Runners for Laying 
What should be fed Indian Runner 
ducks to start them to laynlg early'? 
Pennsylvania. j. m. n. 
Laying duck.s .should be fed on a 
mash, slightly moistened, consisting of 
bran and conimcal in about equal quan¬ 
tities, with the addition of ground clover 
or Alfalfa and small quantities of meat 
scraps and cooked vegetables. A pinch 
of fine salt in each feed is advisable. 
Grit and ground oyster shells should be 
provided. They should have an ahiimlant 
supply of water. Having given the ducks

Trouble with Laying Pullets.— 
Just noticed the wail of F. K. C. on 
page GO. If he didn’t discover the trou¬ 
ble elsewhere, tell him to look out for 
salt in dry ma.sh. It is heavier than 
most of the ingredients, gets to the bot¬ 
tom quicker, and enough has sometimes 
accumulated to amount to an overdose, 
which every hen man knows is deadly. 
It isn’t needed anyhow. F. w. B.
