French Ray-O -Lite Batteries 
for Every Flashlight 
EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laving 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 vear. 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. 
Record at Storrs. Colin., for week ending 
March 19, 1920: 
/JLMOST without exception, French 
'•*3- Ray-O-Lite Batteries are tiie out¬ 
standing choice of experienced flashlight* 
users. Years of sev r ere service conclu¬ 
sively demonstrate that these better bat¬ 
teries give more and better light for a 
longer time. For this reason: long life it 
but It into them. 
French Ray-O-Lite Batteries give brilliant, search¬ 
ing light. They are sturdy and strong, to stand 
hard usage, and have the vitality to revive quickly 
after long, continuous work. They “relax” and 
do not deteriorate between flashes. They last 
long—because they are so well made. 
There is a French Ray-O-Lite Battery for every 
size and kind of flashlight. In unsealed cartons, 
tested as you buy. At your dealer’s—buy from 
the famous cabinet.

The answer lies in correct feeding. At the 
New Jersey Egg-Laying Contest they use 
aurer’s “ Kwality ” 
Serai 
because it is sweet, sound and finely pul 
verized so that it blends well in the mash.

Louse Killer in the dust bath. For 
lousy horses and cattle, colts and

I have it large flock of chickens, tuttl 
feed them well, but they have taken to 
eating their own feathers and flesh? 
What can I do to prevent itV 
Connecticut. MRS. c. A. D. 
Open the doors and turn these fowls 
loose, even if you have to throw them out 
into snowbanks. Close confinement, idle¬ 
ness, craving for something lacking in 
their food, which, by the way. may be 
salt, and suggestions from the evil one of 
pouitrydom are responsible for these.enn- 
nabalistic traits shown by occasional 
flocks of hens. The freedom of the out 
uf tioors for a little while will usually 
turn their minds into better channels.

Raw feed

Valuable baby chicks die by 
the thousands simply from 
wrong feeding. 
Raw feed kills some; moist,
