EXPERIENCE IN THE USE OF
POULTRY FOODS.

Experience is the best teacher every
time. 1t is fortunate that all do not
have to go through the same expert
ence. Some can have the benefit Of
that which others have gone through.
II is not necessary that every poultry
keeper should use all the various foods
that are on the market, in order to
learn which is best and most reliable.
He can rely somewhat on the expert
ence Of those who have used them.
Charles A. Hancock, Barre, Mass, says:
az have used Pages Perfected Poultry
Food the past year with great sue
cess, and would not be without it. 1t
certainly is an egg producer"

San Luis Valley is noted for its sleek
cattle and prize winning, pea-fed
hogs and lambs.
Wheat yields of SO to so ushels
