Lame Hens 
I have two heus with one foot swollen 
between the toes. It seems to be sore, 
11 s they walk lame; does not stop them 
from laying. Could you tell me what to 
do for them? f. d. 
New York. 
Hens are very likely to injure their 
feet in scratching or in jumping from 
high places to hard floors. An ordinary 
sore may be treated by washing it out 
carefully and dressing it with a live per 
cent carbolic aeid and vaseline ointment. 
The hen should then be kept on clean 
grass or other place where dirt will not 
he ground into the sore. A deep-seated 
abscess sometimes forms in the foot, 
causing a large, smooth swelling to ap¬ 
pear upon the sole. This may harden 
and give no trouble, or it may need lanc¬ 
ing and dressing as above suggested be¬ 
fore it can heal.

You Can Have Eggs 
All Winter m lf 
you give your flock a little help. It isn't 
a matter of chance — you’ll get eggs if 
you work for them. And if your birds 
lay heavily this winter you’ll take in a 
lot of egg-money because prices will be 
high. The extra eggs you.can get will pay 
for many things you want and need. 
Give your layers a chance to do, 
their best work. Feed a good ration 
and include 
Pratts 
Poultry Regulator 
the original poultry tonic and conditioner. It makes hens lay 
because it puts and keeps them in condition to lay—healthy and 
vigorous. Its natural tonics, appetizers, digestives and laxatives 
strengthen and regulate the internal organs—make hens healthy 
—then they lay. Nearly fifty years of successful useby the world’s 
leading poultrymen proves it. And our money-back guaranree is 
your protection. Sold in packages, pails and sacks up to 100 lbs. 
Pratts Roup Remedy 
is another big aid to winter layers. Put it in the drinking water 
occasionally, especially during spells of bad weather. It heads off 
dangerous colds and deadly roup, and aids in over¬ 
coming these troubles if they appear.
