_Port Dover, Canada.
After a long experience I find Pratts Poultry Regulator to be
absolutely the best tonic to keep a flock of poultry in condition.
Just as soon as I find a pen is not doing well, I use the Regulator
in their mash. Almost immediately I notice their appetites improve,
their combs redden and they lay better. I have also made trial of
your other remedies and I find them all absolutely reliable.

For a flock of one hundred or more birds the New Jersey Multiple Unit
Laying House is to be recommended. Each unit is twenty feet square,
accommodating a hundred fowls. Similar units may be added for each
hundred additional birds. The drawing on page 48 shows two units.
In this house the front studs are nine feet high, rear studs are four
and a half feet high.
Simple, inexpensive furnishings are best. The cuts show home-made
equipment which will meet all practical requirements.
~Getting the Eggs~
Early-hatched, well-matured pullets are the most dependable layers
during the fall and early winter months. Some few yearling hens may
continue to lay fairly well during their molting period, but, as a rule,
egg production drops with the feathers and does not begin until the new
coat of plumage is completed and the system readjusted. So yearlings,
taken as a whole, do little toward filling the egg-basket until January
or later.
Get the early-hatched pullets into winter quarters by late September or
early October before they begin to lay. But be sure the house is fully
prepared in advance. Clean house! Disinfect thoroughly with a strong
solution of Pratts Poultry Disinfectant. Kill every germ. Avoid possible
loss.

I have used Pratts Poultry Regulator for the last twenty years and
always had the best of results. It is a great egg producer and the
best feed to keep little chicks strong and guard off that terrible
disease, bowel complaint. In fact, I cannot do without it.

It is most desirable that the flock begin egg production before the
