worms which may have hatched in the meantime.
Even if you are not sure that your hogs have worms--as they _probably_
have--you should use Pratts Worm Powder as above as a matter of
precaution.

I bought four pigs, four months' old, weighing about 16 pounds
each, and, in bad condition. Began to feed Pratts Animal Regulator
and at 5 months' old they averaged a gain of one pound a day per
pig.

~POULTRY~
"One hundred hens on every farm" was the small number set by the United
States Department of Agriculture in its great war drive for increased
production of foods. And certainly this number of fowls, and many more,
can be easily and profitably maintained on the average farm. Easily,
because under free range conditions, which are possible on the farm they
require but little attention. Profitably, because under these
conditions, where they pick up much of their living, the cost of
production is comparatively low, while eggs and flesh sell at good
prices. Further, these delicious and nutritious foods add variety to the
farm table.

I have used Pratts Poultry Regulator regularly.
The egg record for 900 fowls for five months the past winter was as
follows: Dec., 50%; Jan., 43%; Feb., 55%; March, 69%; April, 69%.
The lower record of January was caused by some pullets moulting.
Would say that fertility of eggs averaged 87% in December to over
90% later in the spring.

Many a farmer's wife finds her poultry flock a never-failing source of
pin money. Many a farm girl and boy have secured their education from
faithfully saving the "egg-money." And the opportunities for profit in
this line are now greater than ever before.
