Ring Neck Pheasants 
We can now make shipments of our 
birds. They will lay next spring—are 
easy to raise and do not eat one half 
as much as chickens. These birds are 
not subject to disease—are hardy and 
unrelated. You can sell their young 
and eggs at good prices—they are 
much more profitable than chickens.

Value of Sprouted Oats

Martinsville, X. J. 
Sprouted oats have no greater actual 
food value than the unsprouted grain. Lint 
their succulence and consequeut palata- 
bilit.v makes them more acceptable to the 
hens, and their green nature is believed 
to give them tonic and stimulative prop¬ 
erties uot possessed by dry grain. In 
other words, oats, when sprouted, become 
greens rather than grain. They are usu¬ 
ally fed when from 4 to (I in. high, the 
exact height being immaterial. m. b. d. 
“How did your husband’s gardening 
turn out?” "Not well so far.” responded 
the serious woman. “The outdoor work 
gave him such an appetite that he ate the 
potatoes instead of plautiug them.”—New 
York Globe. 
You can’t afford to experiment with a year’s wheat 
crop and you don’t have to—this has been done for you. 
Everything in the way of practical and scientific data—laboratory, factory 
and field tests with fertilizers for wheat on all types of soils—has been 
condensed and boiled down to four special formulas. 
Armour’s four Cereal Special Fertilizers fill every wheat need and supply 
the plant food that your soil lacks, 
Armours

quickly available ammonia to Start the wheat off in the Fall and give it a 
good root growth; available phosphoric acid and potash to stiffen the 
straw, fill out the grain, make it plump and heavy and ripen the crop 
early. They feed the crop just the plant 
food it needs,neither too much nor too little. 
Eliminate guess work and chance this 
Fall—benefit by the experience of others.

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
