Poultry Hints 
E 
VERY month some 
dealer discovers new 
methods in breeding 
poultry. 
If you are anxious to keep 
your stock up to date, and in 
good condition, you will want 
to introduce new blood and 
new varieties from time to 
time. 
Through House & Garden you can 
keep in touch with what is new and 
essential in the poultry line. 
Look through the poultry pages 
and if you do not find exactly what 
you want let us help you. State 
your preference as to breed, what 
your breeding purpose is and other 
necessary essential details. Address

Success with Poultry 
You can only succeed with poul¬ 
try if you know how to do things. 
You must get the right stock, the right equip¬ 
ment, the right feed. You cannot afford to 
take chances. 
You should select a breed which is suitable to your 
environment. Sometimes the most expensive birds 
bring the best and least costly results in the long run. 
Then you must be sure your housing facilities and equipment 
are efficient. Here again it pays to secure brooders, incuba¬ 
tors, houses, nests, feeders and other appliances that are 
tested and reliable. 
Last of all you must feed properly. Sometimes ready-pre¬ 
pared food costs more than mixing it yourself, but it means 
well-balanced rations for your flock and therefore better 
egg-production. Be on the lookout for dependable feeds, 
properly mixed and selected, and you will eliminate failure. 
If you wish information this spring on any of the subjects named 
below, write us, stating your problems and get our assistance.
