Sturdy enough 
to go farming 
Vigorous youngsters, these 
Lively Chicks. As robust 
as their farm-raised moth¬ 
ers. By heading our lay¬ 
ing flock with sires from 
heavy producing strains 
we breed chicks with 
strong constitutions and 
inborn ability to lay 
heavily. 
It is cheaper to buy Lively 
Chicks than to hatch your 
own. They arrive just 
when you want them, in 
exactly the number you 
would like to start. No 
risk; no trouble. We guar¬ 
antee 100 per cent deliv¬ 
ery, alive and healthy. 
Be sure you get the 1924 
Kerr Chick Book No. 10, 
and price list. Your copy 
is now ready for mailing.

rolled oats and give them any good sour 
milk. In a few days you can put sand 
and gravel in the pen and cover the rolled 
oats over with sand and gravel, and then 
see them scratch. When they are about 
3 or 4 days old, I put cut clover or fine 
cut hay of some sort so that they can 
scratch for the rolled oats. I always keep 
a tin of bran before them so they can 
scratch and eat as they please. If you 
have no sour milk, you can buy dried 
buttermilk and mix with the mash. 
Now if your chicks do not grow, it is 
your own fault. But I think you will find 
your chicks growing fine. Also keep 
fresh water near at all times. Don’t 
let the chicks get wet as a chick that gets 
chilled does not do good. It generally 
kills them as they get pneumonia as 
well as diarrhea. To correct this take 
1 pint of slacked lime in one gallon of 
rain water or pump water and let stand. 
Then take > 2 , cup of this water to one 
quart of water. If you give them this 
to drink you' will rarely have] a sick 
chick. Be careful not to get the lime 
mixed with the water. It must be clear 
water from off the top of the settled lime 
that I use and when I u$e this I have but 
little trouble with baby chicks. 
I keep oyster shell, gravel and charcoal 
before them always.— Mrs. Ella Roden, 
Maryland. •

We wish there were time and space 
to get examples of how this bill would 
work in every rural town in the State 
before you. We say again for emphasis, 
taking every county as a whole, school 
taxes would be reduced if this bill were 
passed because of the large State aid. 
There will be a comparatively few dis¬ 
tricts—which are very rich and pay very 
little tax—which, under the equaliza¬ 
tion provision, would have their taxes 
slight]}' increased. Some of the best 
support of the bill has come from fair- 
minded people in these districts. How¬ 
ever, some of those who are making the 
most noise against this bill live in these 
rich districts. 
Are you going to let them get away 
with it? The passage of this bill is of the 
greatest importance to the great majority 
of rural residents from a financial stand¬ 
point and to all posterity from an educa¬ 
tional standpoint. Don’t take our word. 
Get the facts from the bill and then
