•BABY CHICKS- 
For ten consecutive years Kerr’s Guaranteed Chicks have been the quality- 
value standard. They are better than ever this year, the result of rigid 
selection of our great breeding flocks and improvement in our equipment. 
We specialize in the leading money-making breeds and lay special stress 
upon health, vigor and real business ability. 
High Quality—Moderate Price—Big Value 
are concentrated in Kerr’s Chicks. We believe, and our thousands of 
regular customers will tell you, that you cannot duplicate these sturdy, 
healthy chicks elsewhere at the same price. 
Our breeding birds are selected upon a basis of profitable performance and 
uniform appearance. They have the benefit of unrestricted farm range, 
which insures vigor in their youngsters. Our hatchery, one of the 
largest in the world, is modern and complete and is manned by experts. 
Our shipping methods and service are unexcelled. 
Kerr Chicks Are Shipped Prepaid

Plan for Henhouse; Concrete Pigpen 
1. Would you give a plan for an inex¬ 
pensive chicken house, warm enough for 
zero weather, to accommodate 100 hens? 
'J. Is a pigpen of concrete practicable 
and desirable for .six pigs, to be kept from 
Spring—at six weeks old—until Decem¬ 
ber? G. S. M. 
C'resson, Pa. 
1. Ileus should have from three to four 
square feet of floor space each, and the 
more nearly square a building the less 
the material required in its walls. With 
these points in mirnl. it will be seen that 
a building 20 feet square would accom¬ 
modate 1.00 liens with less expenditure for 
material than an equally large building 
of the conventional long, narrow type. A 
building of this size should have much 
of the .front open and the other three 
walls wind-tight. For the walls, a single 
thickness of matched stuff, placed verti¬ 
cally. will be sufficiently* warm and will 
require the minimum amount of lumber. 
Concrete might also be used, of course, 
if desired. The single slope, or shed, 
roof, sufficiently high to give head room 
in any part of the building is the most
