Only proper 
summer feeding 
can make many winter eggs 
“I have used Fleischmann’s Pure 
Dry Yeast for a period of four 
months,” writes Burton Steere, of 
Springfield, Mass. ‘‘The birds have 
shown a larger egg production than 
in previous years and the whole 
flock were kept in the pink of con¬ 
dition. Also, the fertility tested out 
higher than formerly.” 
‘‘Fleischmann’s Pure Dry Yeast has increased 
my egg yield over 25% and the hatchability 
32%. I have never seen anything produce such 
growth as Fleischmann’s Pure Dry Yeast. I 
shall always recommend your product most 
highly.” (From a letter from John H. Jones 
of Seaules, Ala.) 
“1 have been using Fleischmann’s 
Pure Dry Yeast in the diet of my 
poultry for the past five months,” 
writes Mrs. Arthur Preece, of Hous¬ 
ton, Tex., “and I am greatly pleased 
with the results obtained. An increase 
in egg production occurred within a 
few weeks after I began feeding yeast, 
and a general improvement in the con¬ 
dition of the entire flock was noticed 
almost immediately.” 
T HE heaviest layers next 
winter will be birds that 
are carefully nourished 
now. 
That is why poultrymen 
have always sought some¬ 
thing to improve the feed— 
to make their fowls turn it 
quickly into bone, flesh, and 
energy before the “forced” 
laying season in winter. 
Thousands have found it. 
Fleischmann’s Pure Dry Yeast 
makes it easier for fowls to 
digest and assimilate the 
mash. It enables each bird to 
get greater nourishment 
from what it is fed. 
Fleischmann’s Pure Dry 
Yeast comes in 2lb. cans. 
It will keep indefinitely. Full 
directions with every can.

Stands by Runner Ducks 
I must take issue with Mr. Pax-dee on 
that duck egg question on page 770. Mr. 
Pardee is no doubt an authority on re¬ 
kins. I do not pretend to be. Frankly, I 
do not want to be. We once raised a few Pe- 
had a washboiler full of feathers and a 
measure of corn and “eat an eat” to 
equal Mr. Phinney of turnip-eating fame. 
The Indian Runners would eat a small 
quantity and go away, but not the Pe- 
kins while there was anything to eat in 
sight. When we had an order for a 
heavy di’ake we killed the Pekin. We 
had wash-boiler full of feathers and a

15 years, raising as high as 150 English

green egg yet. Maybe I will find two or 
three eggs in a season that are partially
