In buying Poultry Feeds and especially for little chicks you must be familiar with the food stuffs on sale because there is a tendency on the part of all millers to work off grain that Is too poor to sell readily when whole. Therefore it is important to know what to buy, how and where. This year i have decided to make a lltlo chick feed, composed of choice grains and seeds. carefully selected and perfectly granulated and screen- ed. I believe It is better than any bought frorn out of town (although I will buy any brand you may desire) and if you will call I shall be pleased to have you examine and compare mlrre with any other.
