EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
Vineland, N. J. 
The Yinelaiul. N. J., egg-laying contest 
is now in its second year. The same hens 
which were reported last year are being 
tested for their two-year-old form. Below 
is given the record of the full pullet year, 
the record for the current week ending 
.Tune 10, and the full record for this 
year. Do not confuse these records with 
the Connecticut figures, for that is a pul¬ 
let contest.

SUCRENE 
Necessary for 
Constant Heavy 
Milk Yield 
Even with 
Finest Pastures 
Nature’s milk factory, as represented in 
the co'w, is a ■wonderful system of nerves, 
muscles, cells, canals, cavities, ducts, etc. 
When in normal condition and sympa¬ 
thetic accord these agencies cause the 
secretion of milk—provided they are sup¬ 
plied with raw materials which furnish the 
necessary milk nutrients in sufficient quan¬ 
tity and in correct proportions. One dif- 
erence between the cow and her milk 
making machine, and an ordinary 
chine, is that, to a certain extent. 
The Cow Consumes Her Own Body 
To Produce Her Daily Milk Yield 
when her daily feed fails to provide sufficient milk nutrients. That’s what 
good milk cows do under the stimulating influence of pasture alone. They 
sacrifice bodily vigor to temporary increased milk flow with resultant impeiir- 
ment of their milk making capacity the rest of the year. 
It is a scientifically compounded, 
complete milk producing ration— 
four times as strong in nutritive qual¬ 
ity as the best pasture. Composed of 
Sucrene Dairy Feed Suppli 
\ TIia Millr MaLrinAr 
The Milk Making Substances 
molasses, cottonseed meal, com gluten feed, ground and bolted grain 'screen¬ 
ings, corn distillers’ dried grains and solubles, clipped oat by-product, palrri 
kernel meal and small quantities of calcium carbonate and salt. 
Guaranteed 
analysis: \6^% protein, 3^% fat, 46% carbohydrates, 14% fibre. 
One hundred pounds of Sucrene Dairy Feed supplies cows with as much pro¬ 
tein, fat and carbohydrates as is contained in 500 pounds (68^ gallons) of milk.

It means more milk at minimum feed cost—not only 
in summer, but all through the year. It promotes cow 
health, keeps up bodily vigor, prevents cows going 
down after the grass is gone. 
Put it up to the cows this summer. They’ll prove 
every claim we make for Sucrene Dairy Feed. 
Order a ton from your dealer at once. If he can not supply you.

talk abou^ a spoonful of the mix vomica!

that is not definite enongli to make safe i

smears this mixture over the chicken's
