The Greatest
Poultry Year
PREPARE FOR IT

The coming year premises to be
the greatest Poultry year on rec
ord, and it is very logical. The
past year has seen very high
prices for Poultry and Eggs.
Poultry has been selling at rec
ord prices, and was slaughtered in
immense quantities. Now, the
Poultry business must be rebuilt
and, Of course, must start with
the small chicks. Poultry manu-
facturers are preparing for an
immense demand, which will in
clude fine chick cracked corn, me-
dunn cracked corn, scratch feed,
developing feed, chick feed with
buttermilk, ground bone, bone
meal, and in order to provide, al
ready we are receiving car load
orders for our chick cracked corn,
which is declared by experts to
be the finest manufactured We
will send 4 small sample free by
post to anyone who is interested.
Our mill is grinding daily, and
al of our goods are fresh, which
is very essential for young chicks.

Butterfat VS.. Substitutes.

The question is frequently asked. rs
butter substitute equal in value to but
terfat :"
In reply DR.. f. V. MeCollum of Johns
Hopkins university gives the following
information resulting from carefully con.
Quoted experiments with certain foods
on animal growth
As an energy food the substitute con-
tanning considerable admixture OF the
body fats of animals may b. lust as
good as butter but the peculiar growth.
promoting property found in butter and
other dairy products is not there. All
fats are not equal in value to the ami
NAL during growth just because thev
have about the same energy value and
are equally well digested and absorbed
Body fats will induce growth to some
extent but vegetable fats and oils will
not do SO. Among the ordinary human
food stuffs the sources of the unknown
substance indispensable for growth are
eggs, milk and meats. All other human
foods either do not furnish this sub
stance at all or contain amounts toe
small for an adequate supply.
Children should not be stinted on Their
supply of dairy foods. They may get
what they need of this growth substance
in the form of milk and eggs and still
eat butter substitute on their bread but
for the growing young there are no sub
stitutes for these two foods.
