Bred for egg 
production 
To prove how good Lively 
Chicks are, pens of our breed¬ 
ers were entered and won 
high place in the 1923 Inter¬ 
national Laying Contests, 
“Bred for egg production ” is 
the story of Kerr Chicks in 
four words. Our culled lay¬ 
ing flocks of pure-bred, farm- 
raised hens are headed by 
cockerels whose dams made 
high trap-nest records. 
For exceptionally heavy layers, 
try Kerr’s Special Matings. 
Our breeding farm selects 
strains equal to America’s 
best, and from these we breed 
the Special Matings Chicks. 
100 per cent safe delivery by

Skim-milk Replaces Meat Scrap 
I have 100 Leghorns and 100 Rocks. 
What kind of mash should I feed them? 
I have skim-milk before them all the 
time. I have been using the mash with 
meat scrap right along, but it seemed to 
me with the milk I ought to be able to 
leave out the meat scraps, as it is quite 
expensive. My hens are laying very well, 
about 50 per cent now. I feed them a 
scratch of cracked corn, wheat, buck¬ 
wheat, barley and sunflower. Would it 
be better if I feed them whole corn for 
the Winter? They do not seem to care 
very much for the scratch. I also feed 
them steamed oats once a day. 
Westville, Conn. mbs, J. s. 
With plenty of skim-milk the amount 
of beef scrap in the mash may be ma¬ 
terially cut down or omitted. From 12 
to 15 quarts of skim-milk daily per 100 
fowls should replace the amount of beef 
scrap usually fed in the mash so far as 
the need for animal food is concerned, 
though I think that better results will be 
likely to be gained with some meat scrap 
in the ration. Either whole or cracked 
corn may be fed, most poultrymen pre¬ 
ferring the cracked product, however. 
The steamed oats are excellent, and your 
scratch feed is good ; one-half or more, of 
the latter should be made up of corn or 
wheat. M. B. d.
