To be successful with poultry re-
quires a great deal more careful atten-
ton than many are apt to think. The
house should be large and warm. The
fowls should have plenty Of exercise;
but more than that, the fowls should
be given as food what their nature de-
mands and what, If allowed free range,
they could procure for themselves.
''Page's Perfected Poultry Food" con-
tains these ingredients in a carefully
compounded ration. A. A. Olmsted Of
