EPSON salts put in the drinking
water from now until the last of Oc-
tober will keep your chickens from
having the sore head. and should
they have 1T it will be In a very mild
form. However, II would be best to
feed the salts in their soft feed once
each week, say on Tuesday mornings
and on Fridays give them like

half grown chickens If this is kept
up throughout the season you will not
have any trouble with the sore head.
Your articles concerning a market
for common stock from fansy chick
for common stock from fancy chick
our attention some time ago We
are in a position to use such stock,
also eggs to the advantage of al
concerned and as you are at the
head OF, all advisers along the chicken
line, we would appreciate a letter
telling us if it is possible where such
farms are to be found so that we
may communicate with the several
parties.
At present it seems a trifle diff
ficult to locate a place where there
is enough material to warrant US
in accepting a contract to deliver
any stated amount at any one time.
Is il in your province TO know the
whereabouts of such farms where
fries, broilers, hens, ROSTERS, ducks,
geese and eggs, good fresh ones can
be obtained we would be glad to re-
ceive the addresses. We believe that
the southern farmer should receive
the patronage of the large restaurants
and hotels and that it should not be
necessary for the shipments to come
in from places further north.
Also, are there any places where
squads may be secured?
Hoping to hear favorably from you
in the near future and thanking you
in advance for your Kindness and
trouble. W. >: KEEL.

Your communication speaks volumes
and such a business as you suggest II
1t could be worked out on practical
lines would be a great thing for the
small breeders all over the country
but at present 1t Is hard TO gnd any
large supply of either poultry or
eggs that can be depended on from
any one place in the south. There
are only two places that know Of
that produce them in large Quanti-
ties and they are all contracted for
TO their regular customers. An enor-
NOUS amount of business in this line
could be secured if people could de-
pend absolutely on securing what
they want at the proper time but up
to the present, time the only TWO
people. l know of who can supply
both eggs and poultry on short no
tice have packing plants in Tonnes
see. believe a packing plant in
Atlanta or in any good centrally loca-
ted distributing point would pay with
cold storage for both eggs and
poultry and a killing plant in con-
nection with same Such an institu-
ton / believe would do a profitable
business II. properly handled OF
course II would take time and capital
to work up a business Of this kind
but the day is coming when it will
be done.
believe if you would insert a few
small ads in the papers you could
probably get a reasonable supply of
