Most Chick Losses 
The too-frequent heavy death rate 
among chicks during the critical hrood- 
ing period is one of the heaviest drains 
on poultry profits. Baby chicks are 
expensive—every one that dies is 
:3ft) a rea ] ] QSS t j iat k e made up. 
It’s better to raise the chicks you ' 
r-.-, have than to replace them with 
others. 
There is no reason why you 
should not grow to maturity practically every 
good chick you hatch or buy. I he secret lies in 
feeding from the first meal the original “baby 
food for baby chicks”— 
Pratts Buttermilk 
Baby Chick Food 
It completely nourishes the chicks, resulting in 
quick, even, healthy growth and development; 
carries them safely over the dangerous first few 
weeks. 
Chicks eat so little during the first six weeks that 
the slight extra cost of the perfect chick food —the 
original “Pratts ”—is next to nothing. It is made 
up many times by the value of the extra chicks 
saved, and the extra value of every chick raised. 
Let your chicks prove the truth of these statements. Feed 
them Pratts Buttermilk Baby Chick Food. It it doesn’t 
please you —your money back. 
Pratts Poultry Regulator 
is needed by laying and breeding hens now, when they are 
laying heavily. Its tonic and invigorating effects help to 
overcome the strain of continuous laying and they lay eggs 
that are fertile and hatch husky chicks. 
The genuine Pratts Poultry Regulator has been a big aid 
to successful poultry keepers for nearly fifty years. Why not 
test it? You are sure to benefit—you can’t lose. 
“Your Money Back If YOU Are Not Satisfied.” 
Refuse substitutes—-get the genuine Pratts. 
There's a Pratt dealer near you.

Who Are You Going to Buy 
Your Chicks From This Spring ? 
The Lord Farms, we believe are the largest 
and most successful breeders and shippers of 
Single Combed White Leghorns in the Eastern 
or Middle States. From a small beginning, 
eleven years ago. we have grown from a 12-acre 
farm, and today we own 399 acres. This season 
we shall produce for our own use 40,000 to 00,000 
Leghorns. We have today also a capacity to 
Incubating 103,000 eggs, devoted only to one 
breed. We have built this business up simply 
from giving customers satisfaction. We have 
never claimed to have tlie biggest layers in 
America, or the best show birds In America, but 
we hare always claimed to have mighty good 
all-round Leghorns that our customers invariably 
make money on. Our business is mostly with 
experienced poultrymen who want good slock— 
not necessarily high-priced stock. We try to 
sell chicks that will live, mature quick, above 
Hie average size, and lay extra good eggs. Fur¬ 
thermore. we think that our birds will average 
as many eggs as any strain you can buy. 
If you arc looking for some real sensible 
bred Leghorns of good size and strain. American 
bred, then write to Lord Farms for their 80- 
page catalog. Dealing with 11 s will eliminate a 
good part of the risk there is in going into the 
poultry business.

Do business with a reliable farm that are

believe you will do well with any. Address all

Catarrh or Roup 
I have two year-old hens; each lias a 
lump under right eye. It seems hard, 
eye runs water; no symptoms of cough, 
appetite all right. Had another chicken 
like this T doctored for three months with 
iodine, boric acid, etc.; it did not. get any 
better, so I finally killed it. P. F. M. 
Ellenville, N. Y. 
These bunches are caused by the fill¬ 
ing up of a bony cavity in the skull 
which is lined with a membrane continu¬ 
ous with that: of the eye cavities and the 
nostrils. Catarrhal inflammation or roup 
causes a discharge which, at times, fit’s 
these cavities and hardens. The hard 
tumor may be opened with a sharp blade 
and the contents evacuated, but it is bet¬ 
ter to use ini axe blade and remove a 
souce of infection from the flock.
