IT,


in the life of a growing
chick, is at that age when
it becomes necessary to
change it's food from the
chick stage to that of the
growing bird. Many poul-
trymen go astray at this
time-because they do not
take into consideration the
Importance of providing
those elements so neces-
sary for the growth of
bone, muscle, feathers and
good rich blood.
1t is only by having a
thorough knowledge of the
above requirements and
applying it in the manu-
facture, that such foods can
be produced. Carelessly
prepared foods given at
this time, are extremely
dangerous.
LiIly's High Protein
Growing Mash and Lilly's
Growing Food, are especi-
ally prepared to take care
of the feeding of growing
birds. These foods are
abundantly supplied with
protein and should be fed
in conjunction, for, as the
name implies, the Growing
Mash is the meal part Of
the diet and the Growing
Food is distinctly a mixed
scratching ration for grow
ing chicks.
When necessary to make
the change from Chick
Food to these more adj
vanced rations, you can
safely feed them Lilly's
High Protein Growing
Mash and Growing Food,
without fear of i'll results.
Don't feed Beef Scraps,
as these foods contain suffi-
cient protein-more would
be bad for 'em.
These two foods are sold
by dealers in 10, 25 and
100-pound bags.

The Rat

possible in starting general crusade
upon the loathsome and vicious pest.
1t is sure and certain fact that the
rats-as we know them in this section
are more vicious and blood thirsty,
holder and more carnivorous in ap-
petite than they were few years ago,
and this may simply be due to the
fact that they are hungrier. Until
within two years or less never knew
of a rat killing chicken as large as
two pounds weight and most poultry
raisers know say the same thing but
within the above mentioned time
many of us have had full grown hens,
lots of them, dragged off the perches
by the rats and killed and eaten.
This has happened to every poultry
raiser with whom l have discussed
the subject, without exception. Ever
since first began to raise chickens l
have had rats about but they never
got to be an actual menace until two
years ago. Since then they have been
the greatest source of loss incurred,
in spite of constant warfare on them.
At present by the unremitting use of
virus in large quantities l seem to be
getting little the best of them and
reducing their number somewhat but
as few of the neighbors fight them
seriously can never expect to get
rid Of them entirely for they are con-
stantly moving about. This brings
me to the gist of the whole subject
A concerted warfare should be waged
on the rats, otherwise it is no use to
expect to get rid of them. But if
everybody in the neighborhood at
tacks them simultaneously with virus,
poison traps, terriers, clubs and %
cal. rifles they can soon be exterminat-
ed throughout belt 30 many miles
in width that they will never show
again if careful watch Is maintained.
Most ranohers will join in such a
crusade but there are always some
near humans who refuse to help along
any such project for the general good,
but they can generally be handled by
some diplomatic member of the com
munity. I am willing to bet cent
that If some such measures are not
taken soon we will, in a few years
time, have the country divided up
into rat catching districts under the
supervision of blue coated officials.
The rat is cunning fellow but a
frequent change of method is generally
found to be effective in fighting him.
The rats never refuse to take the virus
and 1T works all the time but it will
not get all the rats and other methods
must be used in rotation. On one big
chicken ranch that has suffered severe
ly from their depredations. a constant
effort is made to tole them away from
the side of the farm where the brooder
houses with the young chicks are
located, by leaving grain accessible to
them on the farther side of the place,
where the full grown layers are kept.
The owner states that this plan work
ed nicely but so great was the number

:, Two years ago in an article by {
German author-I have forgotten his
name but do remember that he is one
of the authorities on natural science
and economics-I encountered the
statement that within another genera
tion (humanly speaking) mankind
and the rat would be engaged in 9
death struggle throughout the earth
with the odds by no means favorinG
the human race. This seemed q
pretty strong statement and even the
authors great reputation scarcely
warranted its being received serious,
but in the two years since reading II
l have witnessed an appalling increase
in the rodent population of our OWL
small corner Of the earth, and believe
the greatest sufferers from the In
crease of this noxious pest are the
raisers of poultry.
That same German writer STATED
that the number of rats was limited
only by the amount of food accessible
to them and study Of the problem
as it affects this Coast certainly con.
firms his opinion. When you con.
slider this fact in connection with the
statement Of American authorities
that single rat consumes sixty cents
worth of grain annually it becomes
apparent what tremendous tax this
one form of vermin alone is on the
resources of the country. Some est
mates of the loss from this source II
the United States are as high as si1
hundred million dollars annually
and, like most calamities and plaques
of these days, the greater part of the
loss is borne by the farmer.
The history of most overwhelming
animal pests show that they do moi
attain their most disastrous proper
tions in their original or native coun
try but only after migration to land
where very different conditions OBJ
tain. In the land of their origin they
are balanced by many other natura
| forces and conditions that act as cor
receives and limit their expansion te

signated as normal. Removed to 6
country where none of these natural
checks exist and their expansion In
numbers may be SO great as to threaten
the whole equilibrium of animal anc
vegetable life In their new stamping
ground. Thus the rabbit, never over
plentiful in England, when transplant
ed to Australia overran that vast con
tinent in few years and entails an
annual burden of many millions OF
dollars on the people. So to has II
been with insect pests that have never
been the cause of much loss at home
but, brought to this country, have
from time to time caused almost tota
distinctions Of our orange groves and
cotton fields, chestnut forests, etc.
So it Is very likely that we will
soon find the rat greater menace
than it has ever been in the country
of its origin and it will indeed be
