Raw Meat as a Food for Hens.

Those who are familiar with Poultry
know with what eagerness they eat raw
Meat of any kind. This habit indicates
that raw Meat is something their nature
demands. There is, perhaps, no material
better adapted to the needs of fowls
especially in winter-than Green Cut
Bone and Meat ground together. 1t is
not only invigorating but it contains in
form easily assimilated the very ele-
ments required for the making of eggs
1t will make hens lay when everything
else fails.

Bone and Meat for $3.50, freight pre-

Safe, Sure and Speedy.

No external remedy ever yet devised has
so fully and unquestionably met these
three prime conditions as successfully as
Allcock's Plasters. They are safe be
cause they contain no deleterious drug:
and are manufactured upon scientific prin
cipals of medicine. They are sure be
cause nothing goes into them except in
gradients which are exactly adapted tc
the purposes for which the plaster hs re
CURED. They are speedy in their action
to their work of relieving pain and re
storing the natural and healthy perfor
nance of the functions Of muscles, nerves
and skin.
Allcock's Plasters are the original and
genuine porous plasters and like most
meritorious articles have been extensi
vely initiated, therefore always make sure
and get the genuine Allcock's.
