At Lower Cost 
EGATINE makes hens 
lay more eggs, keeps them 
in better condition and the 
eggs cost less per dozen 
to produce. 
But don’t take our word 
for these claims, you can 
prove them for yourself

your own hens. 
If your dealer doesn’t 
have EGATINE, ask us for

EGG-LAYING CONTEST 
In answer to many questions about this egg- 
laying contest, tlie following facts are given: 
It is held at Storrs Postofflce in connection 
with the Connecticut Agricultural College. The 
contest begins November 1. There are 10 pul¬ 
lets in each pen. All the birds receive uniform 
treatment. The houses are all alike, and the 
feed is the same for all. The contest continues 
for one year. The weekly records cover the 
number of eggs laid for each pen in the current 
week, and also the total number of eggs laid 
since the first of last November. The contest 
will end November 1, at which time these birds 
will be removed, and another set of pullets 
entered for the next year. 
Week ending January 2, 1924.

Tough Membrane in Eggs; Testing 
Fertility 
1. What is it that makes the membrane 
in eggs tough, so the chicken is not able 
ro get out of the shell? Is there a way 
to prevent it? 2. Is there any instru¬ 
ment to be used to test eggs before put¬ 
ting in incubator to see if they are fer¬ 
tile? j. k. 
Maine. 
1. If there is sufficient moisture in the 
incubator at time of hatching to prevent 
the too rapid drying of the shells and 
membranes, the failure of chicks to break 
through them is to be attributed, not to 
tough membranes, but to lack of vigor 
upon the part of the chick. This may be 
due to a great variety of causes, ranging 
from improper care of the breeding flock 
or eggs to be used for hatching, to some 
fault in incubator management. Deaths 
of fully developed chicks in the shell 
have never been eliminated in artificial 
hatching, but no one reason can be as¬ 
signed for them. 
2. There is no instrument that can de¬ 
tect fertility in an egg before incubation 
has started, or that can determine the 
sex of the undeveloped germ in the egg. 
through various alleged devices of the kind 
have been sold. m. b. d.

Feeding 
My Hens 
Ful-O-Pep 
Egg Mash 
That’s the good news 
that comes from 
poultrymen, just as 
soon as they start 
X'f' feeding Ful-O-Pep 
Egg Mash. 
We discovered long ago that a hen would 
lay in winter as well as summer, if she was 
provided with the right kind of feed to keep her well 
nourished and supply her with egg making mate¬ 
rials. We combined such ingredients in Ful-O-Pep 
Mash—now season makes very little difference to Ful- 
O-Pep users—they get eggs all the time and a lot more than 
they did before. The value of 
FUL-O-PEP 
A EGG MASH A 
as an egg producer has been proven daily on commercial 
poultry farms and in the pens of thousands of back lotters all over the 
kcountry. Hens raised the Ful-O-Pep Way have broken records in the 
lEgg Laying Contests in Texas and Missouri in 1922-23. 
You can get more eggs too if you will start feeding your 
hens this great egg producing feed. It is composed of materials that 
make eggs—it keeps hens healthy and makes ’em lay.

POULTRY BOOK 
Write today for free copy of our 1924 Ful-O-Pep Poultry 
Book and learn hdw you can get a lot more eggs right through the 
winter months when your neighbor’s hens are not laying and when 
you can get top notch prices. This book tells all about Ful-O-Pep 
Egg Mash—how to feed it and why it makes hens lay more eggs 
and keeps them healthier. Also tells how to raise young chicks—
