who have not even read Of II, or who were
unable To form An intelligent opinion from

Owing to extreme heat, moisture, aud other
causes, there has been much dullness and
disease among poultry the past summer, and
especially among chickens and young pullets
expected to lay this fall and winter. For
this reason, it would be q great mistake to
kill off all the old hens when the moulting
season is at hand and the hens have stopped
laying, got fat, and seem to be eating their
heads off; because it is fact that
a year-old hen, if properly cared for
and helped at the moalting season
to get her new coat quickly, so she can be
got to laying early, will lay more and better
eggs than young pullets, particularly if the
pullets are weakened by diarrhea, cholera,
gapes, etc. Many people have learned by
experience that Sherdan's Condition Powder
given once, daily, in the food. will supply
the nee ded material to strengthen and invig-
crate sick chickens or moulting hens and get
them to laying carrier than any thing else on
earth. Mrs Edwin Brown, East Greenwich
X. l., says: Il could not do without Sheri-
dams Condition Powder when hens are
moulting. 1t is the only thing to
keep them healthy. use it for gapes and
diarrhGa; for when chickens are email they
often droop and die. To pint of clabbered
milk I add teaspoonful of the powder, mix
we'll, and let the chicks eat all they will

they need. they soon become 80 vigorous.
