Every chick that dies 
cuts down your profit 
Up to a certain point each 
chick that lives simply enables 
you to break even in your busi¬ 
ness of poultry raising. Beyond 
that point are your profits. 
Each dead chick is therefore 
a reduction of those profits* 
Save your chicks by using 
H-O 
STEAM-COOKED CHICK FEED 
a scientifically mixed feed of 
sweet, clean grains, steam- 
cooked to insure digestibility. 
Many poultry raisers have 
learned by experience with 
H-0 Steam-Cooked Chick Feed 
that with no more effort than 
before they can show a bigger 
profit than before. 
H-0 Steam-Cooked Chick 
Feed saves time and trouble, 
saves chicks’ lives and speeds 
up development—you will find 
it truly economical.

‘Baby Food for Baby Clucks 
SAVES the Chicks—RAISES them All 
Such is the record of the original, guaranteed Pratts Baby Chick 
Food. No ration can do this unless it contains, in proper proportion, 
the food elements required to build bone, muscle and feather—unlcr .3 it 
is appetizing and easily digested—unless it is made of high grade materials. 
Pratts Baby Chick Food 
meets these conditions now as it always has. The time-tested formula has never 
been changed. The original Pratts is slightly higher in first cost than imita¬

1 lie kind of light used is immaterial, 
so tar as results are concerned. It is 
simply necessary to have light enough to 
enable the fowls to pick up their grain 
limn the litter and to keep them from 
letiiing to their perches before they are 
ted. In your location it would seem as 
though electric lights would be available, 
and they, of course, are the most con¬ 
venient of all. \\ hile lanters might be 
used, the danger from fire would be con¬ 
siderably increased and their care each 
day would involve considerable labor. It 
is not necessary to use artificial lights 
both night and morning, evening lights 
until eight or nine o’clock being sufficient.
