SICKLY CHILD
Made Well BY Vinol-Letters
from a Grateful Mother

New Haven, Conn.-"My little girl,
ever since her birth, was frail and
sickly and nothing seemed to do her
any good until we tried your cod liv.
er and iron tonic, Vinol. AS soon as
she commenced to take It, l noticed
an improvement in her health and ap-
pearance. She has now taken three
bottles of Vinol, and from the good 1t
has done her I can say it will do all
you claim for it in building up and
strengthening frail and delicate chill
dren." (Name furnished on request.)
Another mother of Chicago, Ill,
writes: 81 can not say too much In
praise of Vinol for delicate, ailing
children"
We ask every mother of a frail,
sickly or ailing child in this vicinity
to try Vinol on our agreement to re-
turn their money If it does not do all
we claim

0. D. WELLS, KING OF POULTRY RA|SERS
IN SOMERSET COUNTY
He Has A Beautiful Plant In Skowhegan---H
Motto is Work and Method

o. d. Wells of Somerset County
Me-, is making $1,000 a year from his
flock of 700 hens and has after only
four years experience had remarkable
success in raising his chickens. This
year from a flock of IL chickens he
has not lost any. How he has accom-
plished this is simple
He has brooder house that is 100
feet long by 10 feet wide 1t is divided
into three equal parts, each having its
own yard. These occupy about an
acre. In this house he runs his in
cubators of which he has three He
runs these three times, starting about
February 18th. The first hatch is put
into the west end of the house and the
second into the center. When the
third lot is Matched he takes the
brooders from the Oldest chicks and
sets them up in the third section, TAX
ing away the incubators entirely.
Here is where Mr.. Wells claims that
he has had his greatest success. While
the chickens are Matching he has. his
yards plowed and seeded to oats. By
the time the chickens come from their
breeders the oats are up and the
chickens are turned into the yards
and feed upon the green stuff This is
the salvation of the little chicks. They
begin to stock up and show a growth
and healthy look that is seldom
equalled. He usually starts the chicks
on commercial chick food. At the
end of the first week he adds dry
mash and after the chicks are three
weeks old the food is gradually shift
ed to cracked corn and hard grains. As
long as the market keeps up he con-
tinues to kill off the cockerels as
broilers. After that those remaining
are put into a special yard and finish
ed as roasters The pullets remain
in the brooder house until October.
The breeds which he has found the
most satisfactory and now keeps are
the Rhode Island Reds and the Barred
and the White Plymouth Rocks. All
Of the pullets he keeps each year for
