SUPERIOR GRIT FOR POULTRY
Where Hard Material Is Supplied the,
Gizzard Is Made to Function
More Accurately.

When grit for the poultry Is pur-
chased only grit Of known hardness
should be employed; always the
greater the quantity Of grit found in
the droppings the greater the evidence
Of its sOftness. Hard grit is slowly
voided, therefore the gizzard is made
to function more accurately, and every
organ Of the hen, in consequence,
functions more thoroughly. Less I'M
asslmilated feed is thrown off and
more eggs result from perfectly
ground and therefore assimilated feed.
Naturally there is less feed required
where all.th feed Is dlgested-nearly
all farm fowls, except where hard grit
is provided, are wasteful in this re-
spect.
