PDFTreatment.—Give each adult hog one heaping tablespoonful of Pratts Worm Powder with the feed once a day for four days. After the last dose give a bran mash to loosen bowels.
Repeat this treatment two weeks after the first to insure killing any 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.
Helps for Poultrymen
In a short chapter in a general publication of this kind it is impossible to go into the finer details of modern methods of poultry husbandry. For those who desire more information on this subject we have a big 160-page book, pages 6x9 inches in size, fully illustrated with 150 photos and drawings. The title is “The Poultryman’s Complete Handbook.” It’s worth a dollar, but we will send you a copy, prepaid, for only ten cents in stamps or silver. Address your request to Pratt Food Co., Philadelphia.
