Two Hundred Dollars In Cold.

We are authorized by advice received from /. s.
johnson Co., Boston, to say that they have for
three years offered poultry raisers, premiums
payable in gold coin, for the best results obtained
from using Sherdan's Powder TO make hens lay.
Their object has been to satisfy themselves be-
yond the shadow Of a doubt. that the claim made
by them that "Nothing on earth will make hens
lay like Sheridan's Powder" was positively true.
The hundreds Of testimonials sent them from
people who have used the Powder, prove the
statement; so that 1t seems folly TO again offer
premiums; but so many persons especially
women who keep a few hens have made such
good showing in former trials, and been beaten by
some one else by a slight fraction in average that
in justice they ought to have another trial john
son and Co. have devised al plan this year, to
overcome that trouble in measure, by offering
twice as much cash and six times as many Gold
Coin Premiums as last year. The larger premium
IS $4,000. 1t is well worth trying for. If you
miss this, there are twenty-three more chances
Tor some other premium. But supposiDg COM
pettor did not get any premium, they would still
have the satisfaction of getting a lot of eggs to
sell at good round price. The retail price for
eggs in Boston and New York last year reached
as high as 30 to 60 cents per dozen. 1t pays to
use Sheridan's Powder when eggs sell for even 10
cents One Of the competitors last year wrote as
follows: 81 am sceH paid IN eggs avithout a
premium. / will cheerfuily recommend Sheri-
dams Condition Powder to Poultry raisers
generally for egg production, and all dis
eases of hens. / can now saw confidently
that 1t will beat anything / ever tried
TO make hens lay. l was surprised at the
end OF the eight weeks trial" He was evidently
satisfied, and well he might have been; for
during eight weeks he got from 80 hens, 1490
eggs which at the average Of prices above would
amount to S65.o8.
ANY person can compete johnson g. Co. will
send full particulars free TO anyone, whether
they order Powder or not.
