It’s not fat—it’s EGGS you want 
Are your hens just boarders? Fat and lazy? All their food going to flesh? 
Nothing left for egg production? Madam,—Your hens’ egg organs are dormant, and 
if you are going to be satisfied to let nature bide its own time to revive these doimant 
egg organs, it will be Spring eggs, not Winter eggs, for you. But why wait on nature? 
You can speed up egg production—you can make your hens lay now by feeding 
Dr.Hess Poultry Pan-a-ce-a 
It contains Nux Vomica and Quassia, the best nerve, appetizing and digestive tonics known to 
the Materia Medica —tonics that promote a hen’s digestion—tonics that tone up the dormant egg 
organs so that the proper amount of food goes to egg production, and not all to flesh, and fat, and 
laziness, when it’s action, and eggs you want. 
Pan-a-ce-a supplies the additional iron for the blood, which is essential to 
the speeding up process. It contains certain forms of lime 
that supply the needed material for making egg shells. 
Dr. Hess Poultry Pan-a-ce-a insures a healthy, singing, 
laying, paying poultry flock, Winter as well as Summer. 
Always buy Pan-a-ce-a according to the size of your 
flock. Get it from a reliable dealer in your own town. 
Tell him how many fowls you have, and he will supply you 
with the proper sized package, which is guaranteed. 30c, 
75c and $1.50 packages. 25-lb. pail, $3.00; 100-lb. drum, 
$10.00. Except in the far West and Canada.

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about tills egg- 
laying contest, the following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs post office In connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the num¬ 
ber of eggs laid for each pen In the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets en¬ 
tered for the next year.

Skin Trouble in Pullets 
I have 12 pullets, four months old. Their 
heads are getting bare; the skin looks 
rough and scaly, and is hot to the touch. 
They scratch their heads with their feet, 
causing sores. Can you tell me what to 
do to cure them? B. F. b. 
East Branch, N. Y. 
This may be chicken pox, in which case 
you will observe warty excrescences upon 
the heads about the beak, eyes and in 
other positions. If chicken pox appears 
to be present, you should isolate the pul¬ 
lets in order that they may not spread the 
trouble to healthy fowls. The sores may 
be treated by painting with tincture of 
iodine and then using some simple sooth¬ 
ing ointment. The disease is not usual¬ 
ly serious in well-kept flocks, but it is an¬ 
noying and should not be allowed to 
spread. M. u. d.
