Raw grain for baby chicks is 
wrong. Cooked grain is right. 
Experience is the best teacher and 
experience shows that a high per¬ 
centage of chicks die on raw feed. 
Experience shows that H-0 Steam- 
Cooked Chick Feed brings safely 
through their early critical davs the 
highest percentage of the natch. 
The finely cut grains are cooked 
under high steam pressure, thus 
preventing the uncooked starch in 
the grains from causing diarrhoea 
and other ailments which so fre¬ 
quently affect little chicks’ diges¬ 
tive organs. 
No man’s, experience can he con¬ 
sidered complete until he has tried 
H-0 Steam-Cooked Chick Feed. 
Then, and only then, can he make 
up his mind on a personal knowl¬ 
edge cf what this feed really will 
do for his chicks.

Ailing Hens as Breeders 
Do you think it safe to breed from a 
flock of K. I. Reds which have had colds? 
I introduced two new cockerels, and un¬ 
fortunately one had contracted a cold 
which rapidly took hold of the largest 
share of the flock. I at once sold the ones 
most affected, and in two days sold more, 
that seemed to be hit hardest, those 1 
now have seem to be much better and ex¬ 
pect them to recover entirely. The s.\m • 
toms were rattling in the throat, wneez,- 
ing or coughing, watery eyes, anti, ot 
course, attendant lack of appetite. Quite 
a few were two-year-old hens, not laying, 
the rest pullets. Laying did not seem to 
drop appreciably. H * K * v - 
The objection to hatching from hens 
that have hud “colds ’ lies not in the fact 
that their trouble might be transmitted, 
but in a (very possible lack of vitality 
that might show itself disastrously in 
weakness in the offspring. If these hens 
| appear to have fully recovered their health 
and vigor, however, X know of no reason 
why their eggs should not be used for 
hatching. Colds of moderate severity may, 
of course, be fully recovered from without 
permanent ill effects; iu such cases, I can 
see no reason for rejecting them as breed-

SPECIAL NOTICE 
Those purchasing eggs for hatching and baby 
chicks must understand that they are assuming 
some risk when ordering from a distance. I* or 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 had faith on the part of the 
seller, and we shall not consider claim t on that 
basis. To avoid controversy buyer and seller 
should have a definite understandirg as to the 
responsibility assumed in case of 'dissatisfaction.
