FINE PARENTS MAKE 
BETTER BIRDS 
A chick with an uncertain parentage is 
liable to be an unprofitable hen. Kerr’s 
Lively Chicks, we are proud to say, come 
from the finest strains. That means you 
can buy our Hollywood White Leghorns, 
Norfolk Spec. Farms Barred and Fishel 
White Rocks, Martin White Wyandottes 
and Sked Bros. Rhode Island Reds with 
confidence that they will grow up to be 
money-makers. 
We entered pens of our breeding in the big 
1923 competitions—and they won. From 
this official record stock come our cockerels 
to mate with purebred, farm-raised pullets, 
giving you Lively Chicks, bred to lay. 
Full count delivery, alive and vigorous, is 
guaranteed. We will refund or replace, 
if any should be lost in transit. 
Write to-day and ask for your copy of 
Kerr Chick Book. It includes our egg- 
laying records in 1923 competitions.

As layers they are hard to beat. Where 
they are bred for laying and given proper 
care they certainly shell out the eggs. 
I have had Brown and White Leghorns, 
Anconas, Buff Rocks, Buff Orpingtons, 
White Wyandottes and Rose and Single 
Comb Rhode Island Reds, of which I still 
breed. I am a lover of all pure bred poultry 
and have had a bit of experience with 
Leghorns and Wyandottes. But a person 
will succeed with the birds he loves best 
most generally and especially if it is a 
bird in good demand, like the Reds. 
DAY-OLD CHIX AND DUX 
^^*OROUS, HEALTHY, LIVABLE Chix and Dux that will grow, thrive

practical experience back of them. Superior stock at popular prices. Liberal 
discount on stock ordered in advance. 
Keeping Down Expenses in 
Brooding Chicks 
My brooder consists of a wooden box, 
about four feet long, three feet wide and 
two feet; high, with a six-pane window set 
in the front, facing the sun. The cover 
in on a hinge and it has a tiny sliding 
door in one side. 
We place this brooder in a sunny spot 
and wire off a small yard for the chicks 
to play in. For heat I have two 3-gallon 
oil-cans that L fill with hot water. One 
of these, if placed in the brooder at 
9 P. M. will still be warm at 9 A. M. 
I have folded newspapers tied around 
the cans to hold the heat. There is no 
danger from fire with that kind of heater. 
In real cold winter weather, I have the 
brooder in a sunny spot in the kitchen 
until the chicks are two weeks old. 
Mrs. M. C. L. : 
CUSTOMER’S LETTER— “Dear Sirs: Please send me fSTuEt*’price list. 
Your last year s chix have done wonders for us. They started laying in September 
and are doing their best now. In December, I got 464 eggs; January, 535 eggs and 
February, 708 eggs from 40 pullets and 10 yearlings. 
Yours truly, D. A. Galloway.”

Shall We Pay the Soldiers a Bonus? 
(Continued from page 371 ) 
same line as the Civil War lobby. Many 
soldiers enlisted in the late war from 
patriotic motives and are opposed to 
receiving money for their services, know¬ 
ing well that our country was included in 
the final plan of World domination in 
the German War Policy.”—G. T. P., 
Worcester County, Mass. 
* * * 
Tax Plan Helps Rich Only 
“In response to your request, I favor 
the bonus for the soldiers and do not favor 
Mellon’s plan for tax reduction. Mellon’s 
plan is entirely for the rich; the man who 
is like most of us under $5,000 benefits 
practically none.”—P. B. W., Onondaga 
County, N. Y. 
* * * 
Neighbors Opposed, Too 
“In regard to the soldiers’ bonus, nearly 
all the farmers are opposed to the bonus 
that I have talked to. For my part I am. 
The Mellon Tax is strongly opposed.”— 
W. W. A., Butler County, Pa. 
* * * 
The Soldiers Earned It 
“I am in favor of the Soldiers’ Bonus 
Bill being passed. Why should it not be? 
Have they not earned it many times over? 
Yes—and yes again. Is a deeper Hudson 
or a many million dollar post-office or 
any one of the many things that money 
is being appropriated for more im¬ 
portant, more necessary than that the 
men who came back from Over There 
'after going through a veritable hell, for 
the ones who stayed at home, should 
have a little to start themselves on again? 
The boys that could not come back with 
the others, but who were brought back 
later, covered with the American flag, 
paid with their lives, but so did the ones 
who came back pay—not so dearly, but 
in lost health, strength and lost oppor¬ 
tunities. There are many good reasons 
why the returned soldiers should get their 
bonus—but are there any reasons why 
they should not?”— Mrs. W. M. H., Jr., 
Albany County, N. Y.
