Daily  Ration  for  One  Hundred  Birds 
How  much  food,  in  pounds,  would  100 
White  Leghorn  hens  consume  per  day,  on 
an  average,  in  order  to  keep  up  flock  in 
good  condition  for  laying?  j.  b.  h. 
Baltimore,  Md. 
A  well-fed  White  Leghorn  hen  will 
cousume  between  80  and  90  lbs.  of  grain, 
-whole  or  ground,  in  a  year.  Multiply  this 
by  100  and  divide  by  865,  and  there  you 
are.  M.  B.  D. 
Death  of  Fowls 
My  fowls  get  lame  and  thin,  and  after 
being  lame  awhile  they  stop  eating  and 
then  die,  and  examination  shows  the  liver 
twice  as  large  as  it  ought  to  be.  Some 
of  them  had  roup  last  Winter,  and  I  doc¬ 
tored  them  and  they  got  better,  but  others 
never  had  roup  and  they  are  affected  the 
same.  T.  s. 
Elkton,  Md. 
These  fowls  may  be  suffering  from  some 
digestive  trouble  characterized  by  en¬ 
larged  livers,  or  from  some  infection  in 
which  the  liver  is  involved.  It  is  im¬ 
possible  to  say  without  considerable  more 
knowledge  of  the  conditions.  M.  B.  D. 
Even  better 
than  last  year 
hast  year,  Kerr’s  Lively  Chicks 
were  so  satisfactory  that  hun¬ 
dreds  of  poultry  keepers  wrote 
letters  of  appreciation.  This 
year  our  sturdy  farm  flocks 
of  heavy  laying  utility  hens 
are  headed  by  cockerels  direct 
from  America’s  greatest 
specialists. 
The  blood  of  famous  layers 
gives  Lively  Chicks  better 
breeding  than  ever — but  they 
will  still  be  sold  at  utility 
prices. 
Delivery  of  Kerr’s  Lively 
Chicks  is  fully  guaranteed. 
Any  losses  will  be  replaced
