WAR! 
How can poultry men help? 
Uncle Sam wants you to 
raise more chickens. So, 
even if you can’t go to the 
front, liere’s your chance to 
come to tlie front. 
11atching more eggs is easy. 
Raising the chicks is the hard 
part. 
That’s where H-O Steam- 
Cooked Chick Feed will help 
you. How? 
By actually reducing your 
chick death-rate. Of course 
you ask--“Why?” 
Well, here is why! 
II-O Steam-Cooked Chick 
I'eed is more digestible. Our 
exclusive steam-cooking pro¬ 
cess makes it more digestible. 
This process dextrinizes 
part of the starch in the 
grains and reduces moisture. 
Results? No sour grains. 
Easier digestion. You mature 
more chicks. 
Try H-O Steam-Cooked 
Chick Feed. See if you don’t 
get a pleasant surprise in 
chick - saving and money¬ 
making.

The Black Jersey Giants 
A\'<’ Iiavt' had .st'voral articles/ about 
this new ’■bleed" or strain of ixniltry, and 
several readers have a.sked ns to print 
pictures. I’lie two birds shown on page 
005 are fair specimens of these Giants, 
as they apitear today. 'J’hey have been 
known in the jiast merely as “Black 
Giants,’’ but the word “Jersey’’ ought to 
appear, too, as truly as the “Bhode 
Island’’ comes with the “Red.’’ No one 
claims that the (Rants are yet a finished 
breed. They are about ivhere the “Reds’’ 
were 25 years or more ago. but they will 
be standardized in time and bred to a 
certain type. We think there is a future 
for these big birds if certain defects can 
be overcome. It is not ,a bird for the

SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. For the 
most part eggs and chicks carry safely, but some¬ 
times rough handling by the express companies 
or exposure to heat and cold causes damage. 
That eggs fail to hatch or chicks die is not con¬ 
clusive evidence of bad faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claims on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understanding as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of dissatisfaction.
