A great many of the articles used in the manufacture of 
Darling’s Chick Feed are made by them. Their freshness and 
purity are guaranteed by Darling & Company. The balance 
which are the best the market affords are carefully examined 
before mixing. 
No screenings used in Darling’s Chick Feed. Only the high¬ 
est quality of goods used. The terrible death rate with young 
chicks is due to improper feeding; unused stomachs require 
special food. 
Darling’s Chick Feed starts them right. Supplies just what 
nature requires. Gives you more and better chicks for the 
same money. Lb. 5 cts., 50 lbs. $2, 100 lbs. $3.25. 
Directions: Throw the chick feed into the cut alfalfa, straw, 
hay and litter that you may have in the pens, so that the young 
(flicks will be compelled to work for their feed. This forced 
exercise is beneficial, causing the chicks to grow rapidly.

Granulated Bone for Poultry

•> experienced poultry breeders. Though not so rich in protein as the animal foods, it is never¬ 
theless advisable to use it; it is not only valuable as a shell-maker, but it promotes a strong, and 
healthy growth of the bones in the growing chicks. The bone we are offering is especially 
prepared as a poultry food, and is strictly first-class. 100-lb. sack $2.50. 
Fine Bone Meal, made from the same stock, only crushed finer, is used mixed in the mash 
feeds. 100-lb. sack $2.50. 
Ground Shells and Grits 
Germain’s White Crystal Grit. This grit not only retains its hardness and sharpness to the 
very last degree, but its composition is such that it acts both as a digester and shell-maker. 
Three sizes, viz., fine, medium and coarse. 100 lbs. $1.25. 
Mica Crystal Grit. This is the oldest and best known grit on the Coast, and is recognized 
as the standard. It is of Mica formation, and in place of wearing smooth like other grits, it 
breaks off in flakes, thereby retaining its sharp edges. We carry three sizes, namely, fine for 
chicks, medium for grown fowl, and coarse for turkeys and ducks. 100-lb. sack $1.00. 
Clam Shell. Also made from clean, fresh shells and crushed to suitable size for feeding 
laying hens. 100 lbs. $1.
