Dosing  with  Epsom  Salts 
I  have  been  advised  by  several  poultry 
raisers  to  give  my  chickens  Epsom  salts 
and  on  giving  this  dose  I  find  a  drop  con¬ 
siderably  in  my  egg  production.  Is  this 
an  advisable  dose  to  give  them  ?  j.  g.  j 
Trenton,  N.  J. 
I  can  see  no  good  reason  for  adminis¬ 
tering  Epsom  salts  to  fowls,  unless  it  is 
desired,  for  some  reason,  to  quickly  clear 
out  the  intestines  of  -the  birds.  This,  m 
case  of  food  or  other  poisoning,  or  when 
digestive  disturbances  make  a  physic  ad¬ 
visable,  may  be  necessary.  I  know  that 
Epsom  salts,  occasionally  given,  have 
been  recommended  as  a  ’  substitute  for 
green  stuff,  but  I  do  not  think  that  the 
advice  has  ever  been  generally  accepted. 
Epsom  salts  produce  a  quick  flushing  of 
the  intestines,  are  not  irritating,  and 
have  a  valuable  place  in  medicine.  It  is 
as  medicine,  however,  that  they  best  serve 
a  purpose,  and  I  should  not  consider  a 
routine  administration  of  them  advisable.

WinterEggs! 
See  to  it  that  there  is  song  and 
cackle,  scratch  and  action,  going  on  in 
your  poultry  yard. 
That's  when  the  eggs  come.

PAN-A-CE-A 
See  them  get  busy.  It  gives  hens  pep. 
Nux  Vomica  is  what  does  it — that  greatest 
of  all  nerve  tonics.  A  Pan-a-ce-a  hen  can’t 
hold  still.  It’s  her  good  feeling  that  makes 
her  hop  around. 
Pan-a-ce-a  has  Quassia  in  it  to  make  hens 
hungry.  Great  combination !  One  makes  them 
eat — the  other  helps  them  digest  what  they 
eat. 
No  dormant  egg  organs  when  that  com¬ 
bination  gets  to  work  on  a  hen’s  system.  You 
just  get  eggs — eggs. 
A  Pan-a-ce-a  hen  is  always  a  hungry  hen — 
an  industrious  hen.  She  gets  off  the  roost 
winter  mornings,  ready  to  scratch  for  her 
breakfast. 
Tell  your  dealer  how  many  hens  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-lb.  pkg.  500  hens,  the  100-lb.  drum 
For  fewer  hens,  there  is  a  smaller  package.
