Feed Formula at Egg-laying 
Contest 
Some one seems to have started the 
report that the feeding formula at the 
Connecticut egg-laying contest has been 
changed. This has led to the following 
statement from the management: 
“Recent inquiries addressed to the col¬ 
lege have prompted the management of 
t’ e contest to announce that the feed 
formulas in the egg-laying contest have 
not been changed. This does not mean 
that the formulas may not possibly be 
susceptible to improvement. On the other 
hand it has not seemed wise in the lay¬ 
ing trial to change rations too often. The 
management does not like to swap horses 
in the middle of the stream. Such 
changes as seem desirable from time to 
time are usually made at the beginning 
of the contest year. The mash formula 
consistst of equal parts by weight of 
cornmeal, wheat bran, standard mid¬ 
dlings, ground oats, gluten and meat 
scraps that are not less than 50 per cent 
protein. The grain ration consists of 
two parts by weight of cracked corn, one 
of wheat and one of heavy oats.” 
Cut Your Feed Bills 
Feed Plenty of Minerals 
Feed FOS-FOR-US 
Recent experiments have 
shown that cheap vege¬ 
table meals—such as soy 
bean, peanut or cotton 
seed meals — can be fed 
successfully to fowls — 
when minerals are added. 
The minerals increased 
egg production and 
growth more than 40%. 
Because of the high lime 
content in FOS-FOR-US, 
you can feed less oyster 
shell — save money and 
labor. 
FOS-FOR-US 
The Phosphate-Lime Qrit 
contains 22% tri-calcium 
phosphate, 70% carbon* 
ate of lime. A hard, sharp 
soluble grit. Three sizes 
— coarse, medium, fine.

CLASS CLOTH 
A Great Discovery 
Better Than Glass 
for Many Purposes 
Ideal for scratch sheds, poultry 
houses, brooder houses, hot beds, 
cold frames, greenhouses, storm 
windows, doors, etc. 
Exactly what every poultry raiser 
and gardener needs—in fact, every 
family will find Glass-Cloth handy 
to have around the house. Enclose 
porches for winter, repair tempora¬ 
rily broken windowpanes, etc. Keeps 
out cold, rain and wind — admits 
sunshine and warmth efficiently as 
glass, and retains warmth longer. 
Keep Hens Laying All Winter 
Patent AppUed For 
Don't turn hens out in cold, damp 
weather. Bright, sunshiny scratch 
pens bring big egg yield when prices 
are high. 
Poultrymen use it for building, easily and 
quickly, scratch sheds onto poultry houses. 
Gives chickens summer weather benefits in¬ 
doors in zero months. Hens lay more eggs. 
“Paid its cost ten times over,” writes Iowa 
farmer, “by giving extra light and warmth, 
increasing egg yield remarkably during winter. 
Greatest thing I ever heard of, better than 
glass and cheaper, too.” Use Glass-Cloth to 
make cold frames or hot beds for vegetables, also. 
Have vegetables weeks before regular season.
