Doubles the Number Of Eggs.

To be successful with poultry re-
ouires a great deal more careful atten-
tion than many are apt to think. Inc
house should be large and warm. Inc
fowls should have plenty of exercise;
but. more than that, the fowls should
he piven as food what their nature
demands and what, if allowed free
range, they could procure for them
selves. "Page's Perfected Poultry
Food contains these ingredients in a
carefully compounded ration. A. A.
Olmsted of South Newbury, Vt, has the
following to say in regard to this food;
eve have been for some time using
vour perfected Poultry Food with
such good results that we thought II a
proper thing to tell you. 1t keeps our
hens well and in good laying condition
and. we think, doubles the number OF
eggs. Being in good condition, lice do
not trouble. -
