Help  your 
MOULTERS 
MOULT 
If  you  want  your  hens  to  moult 
naturally — 
If  you  want  them  bacK  on  the  egg 
job  promptly — fall  and  winter  laying — 
Then  you  must  make  sure  that  your 
moulters  are  healthy  and  hungry. 
They  must  eat  lots,  and  be  able  to 
digest  what  they  eat. 
That’s  just  what 
Dr,  Hess  Poultry 
PAN-A-CE-A 
does  for  your  moulting  flock. 
It’s  a  tonic  that  begins  with  the  appetite — - 
improves  a  hen’s  whole  system. 
It  has  Iron  that  keeps  the  paleness  away, 
makes  the  combs  and  wattles  red — the  blood 
rich. 
Pan-a-ce-a  starts  the  food  the  egg  way  as 
soon  as  the  moult  is  over. 
No  time  lost. 
No  dormant  egg  organs  after  the  moult, 
where  Pan-a-ce-a  is  fed. 
Tell  your  dealer  how  many  nens  you  have. 
There’s  a  right-size  package  for  every  flock. 
100  hens,  the  12-lb.  pkg.  200  hens,  the  25-lb.  pail 
60  hens,  the  5-Ib.  pkg.  500  hens,  the  100-lb.  drum 
For  fewer  hens,  there  is  a  smaller  package.

EGC-LAYING  CONTEST 
In  answer  to  many  questions  about  this  egg- 
laying  contest,  the  following  facts  are  given: 
It  is  held  at  Storrs  Postoffice  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  ail  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.

Rations  for  Young  Poultry 
Will  you  give  a  ration  for  my  four- 
months-old  chickens?  I  want  to  fatten 
the  roosters  and  put  them  on  the  market. 
There  are  about  80.  The  pullets,  which 
number  about  150,  I  want  to  bring  to 
laying  as  soon  as  possible.  w.  j.  p. 
The  same  mash  given  laying  fowls  may 
well  be  used  to  feed  four-months-old  pul¬ 
lets,  a  good  formula  being  equal  parts,  by 
weight,  of  ground)  corn,  ground  oats, 
wheat  bran,  middlings  and  meat  scrap. 
This  should  be  kept,  dry,  always  before 
the  pullets,  and.  when  it  is  desired  to  has¬ 
ten  maturity,  one  feeding  per  day  of  the 
same  mash  moistened  with  skim-milk  or 
water,  may  be  given.  Mixed  whole  grains, 
chiefly  wheat  or  cracked  corn,  should  be 
given  as  scratch  food,  the  pullets  getting 
about  three-fifths  of  their  day’s  rations 
as  hard  grains,  two-fifths  as  mash. 
Cockerels  should  be  confined  in  a  small 
enclosure  for  fattening  and  may  be  fed 
all  that  they  will  clean  up  twice  daily  of 
a  mash  made  from  cornmeal,  white  mid¬ 
dlings  and  ground  oats  or  barley.  For 
best  results,  this  should  be  mixed  with 
skim-milk.  Ilf  milk  is  not  available, 
about  one-fifth  part  of  beef  scrap  may  be 
added.  Cracked  grain  should  also  be  fed 
at  noon.  Confined  cockerels  will  stand 
this  forced  feeding  for  about  two  weeks.

You  can  make  a  better 
sprouter  than  you  ean  buy. 
This  sprouter  was  made  in  one  evening  by  a 
14-year-old  boy  with  a  saw  and  hammer.  The 
cost,  with  heater,  was  $2.99.  Thousands  in  use. 
All  say  it  is  the  best  and  handiest  made. 
Make  Layers  Out  of  Loafers 
To  make  hens  lay  their  best  in  winter,  growing 
green  feed,  rich  in  vitamins,  must  be  fed.  Sprouted 
oats  are  best.  The  Putnam  Home  Made  Sprouter 
yields  the  best  and  sweetest  sprouts  and  with  the 
least  work.  I  will  send,  free,  plans  for  making  this 
sprouter  with  description  of  Little  Putnam  Stove 
to  heat  it.  Also  instructions  for  use  of  Btove  to  keep 
fowls’  drinking  water  unfrozen.  Stove  holds  three 
pints  of  oil.  Burns  a  month  without  trimming  or 
filling.  Patented  burner.  Nothing  like  it.  Aik  your
