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 highest 
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. $3.50. 
Directions: Throw the chick feed into the cut alfalfa, straw, 
hay and litter that you may have in the pens, so that the young 
chicks will be compelled to work for their feed. This forced exer¬ 
cise is beneficial, causing the chicks to grow rapidly. 
California Calfalfa Meal 
Green food is to be had every day of the year for your fowls by 
using Calfalfa Meal, made from pure California alfalfa, finely 
ground. 
Green food is absolutely necessary for poultry. No class of fowls 
demand it more. Calfalfa Meal is both a green and a protein-food, 
to be had at all seasons of the year, which insures a continuous 
production of eggs. Calfalfa meal when fed to chickens is the 
great egg-food, promoting vitality, increasing fertility and egg 
production. In little chicks it furnishes the elements of growth, making bone, blood, muscle and feather; 
it also prevents disease. 
One-half of a bucket of Calfalfa Meal steeped in water makes a pail full of green alfalfa, upon which 
chicks right out of the shell maybe fed. For broilers, mix with grain or grain products. It gives a firm, 
white meat. In brief, Calfalfa Meal is just what is needed to furnish a variety of feed and to supply 
muscle-building material. 100-lb. sack, $1.50. In ton lots, prices on application.

Granulated Bone for Poultry 
Coarse Green or Granulated Bone has long been recognized as an essential in egg production by ex¬ 
perienced poultry breeders. Though not so rich in protein as the animal foods, it is nevertheless advis¬ 
able to use it; it is not only valuable as a shell-maker, but it promotes a strong, 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 $2.25. 
Fine Bone Meal, made from the same stock, only crushed finer, is used mixed in the mash feeds. 
100-lb. sack $2.25. 
Ground Shell 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 $1.25. 
Clam Shell. Also made from clean, fresh shells and crushed to suitable size for feeding laying 
hens. 100 lbs. $1.
