Winter Eggs! 
See to it that there is song and 
cackle, scratch and action, going on in 
your poultry yard. 
That’s when the eggs come. 
Feed 
Dr. Hess Poultry 
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.

They’ll do it, and thank you for the chance. Here’s 
how. You can fill a Harder Silo with succulent silage 
for less than the cost of husking, hauling and stack¬ 
ing the dry fodder. And when you come to feed it, 
it will be worth twice as much, to say nothing of be¬ 
ing easier to handle. At the end of the feeding 
season your cows will have paid for a handsome new 
Harder-Victor Front Silo. 
Harder Easy-Payment Plan 
Under this liberal new plan you can meet the pay¬ 
ments out of the increase in your milk check and the 
saving in feed cost. You can’t afford to go through 
another season without a silo when your cows will 
pay for the best silo ever put on a foundation. 
Write for particulars and our free book, “Saving with Silos”, 
new edition. Tell us how many cows you are milking and we’ll 
send you also a Handy Pocket Record Book, arranged to show in¬ 
come and outgo, profit and loss. Write today.

It Depends on the Breed 
You Like Best 
W HEN it comes to saying which is 
the best breed of poultry, I’m here 
to state that “there ain’t no such animal.” 
It is just the same as with breeds of dairy 
cattle. We read of some fellow who says 
that there is only one breed of cattle and 
that is so-and-so. There is nothing to it. 
It all depends on the breed you like best. 
When you've got something you like, you 
can do a whole lot better with it than with a 
flock of critters that you hate the sight of. 
Now personally I hate Leghorns be¬ 
cause the pesky things are always flying 
over the fence into the garden and getting 
where they should not be. We have our 
garden fenced in with high American 
fence, but it wouldn’t stop the Leghorns. 
They can fly like pigeons. So we got rid 
of them and went back to the good old 
Barred Plymouth Rocks. To be sure 
they don't lay quite as many eggs, but 
we like them a whole lot more than the 
pale eggs of the Leghorn. And when we 
want chicken for dinner we have real 
chicken, no skinny little bone-yard, but 
real yellow-skinned, plump, full-breasted 
chicken. Our butcher in town is always 
glad to have me bring in some broilers or 
roasters every time I drive in. And folks 
in town are just as glad to get brown eggs 
as white ones as long as they are fresh. 
We don’t go in for poultry big, just 
raise enough to keep us supplied, with a 
little to sell. The hens are gentle, make 
good mothers, and the young stock is 
vigorous, giving us very little bother. 
Yes, we like the Barreds pretty well. 
And when they molt the place does not 
look as though there had been a pillow 
fight down around the barn.—J. D. W., 
Pennsylvania.

“WE” LIKE REDS 
W E like Rhode Island Reds. The wife 
likes them because she likes the 
deep red color of the plumage. She says 
they look nice about the place. She likes 
a flock of birds all of one color and she is 
quite partial to the color of the Reds. 
No, I’m not red-headed and none of the 
buildings about the place are of a color 
that blends well with that of the birds. 
She just likes Reds and that’s why we’ve 
got them. I’ve got to like them whether 
I want to or not. She takes care of them, 
the flock is her’s, so there ya be. Another 
reason we, yes, I’ll say that I like them 
too, is because we personally prefer 
a brown egg. There is some taste to 
it when you eat it. Then again, we 
like a yellow-skinned fowl. Of course, 
the Rocks, Wyandottes and Giants are 
yellow-skinned but they haven’t got the 
colored plumage that the wife likes. 
For a bird to dress up nicely I honestly 
don't think there is anything finer than 
a Buff Rock. Our neighbor has a small 
flock of them and, believe me, they sure 
do dress up nice, just as yellow as butter 
and as smooth and as plump as a dollar. 
Boy, they’re nice, but the wife says the 
color is too pale, says they look as though 
they had half of the color washed out of 
them. They’re nice just the same, al¬ 
though I don’t know how they are for 
laying. Friend neighbor seems to have no 
complaint, claims they are as good as any 
Rocks or Reds he ever knew or heard of. 
Something to Her Argument 
But coming back to the Reds. There is 
something to F. W’s (meaning Friend 
Wife's) argument in favor of the Reds. 
They mature fairly early, make excel¬ 
lent broilers and roasting chickens, dress 
Sip nice and yellow. They are mighty 
’good layers and we find them hardy. 
There must be something to the good 
wife’s choice for we have quite a brisk 
call for setting eggs every spring, which 
means a nice little bit of extra revenue 
for her ladyship. In fact last spring we 
had to turn some orders down to avoid 
cutting ourselves short. I suppose we 
could expand but the flock is just big 
enough for the missus to handle nicely, 
she likes it and wants to do it. As long as 
she is satisfied, that is all there is to it. 
Everyone is happy and satisfied.—G. D. 
E., New York.
