|~Pratts~ Buttermilk Baby Chick Food raises every good chick.  It won’t  |
|prevent losses from accidents, but it does prevent death from digestive|
|troubles and the more common chick disorders which are so often due to |
|improper feeding.                                                      |

|The original Baby Chick Food--PRATTS--contains all the food elements   |
|required to build muscle, bone and feather, to nourish the whole body, |
|to give that strong start in life which assures rapid growth, even     |
|development and profitable maturity.                                   |

|Feed the original Pratts for the first three weeks--the critical       |
|period--at least; it may profitably be used much longer.  Refuse        |
|substitutes and imitations.  These may be slightly less in first cost,|
|but in results, as measured by number and quality of chicks      |

[Illustration:  PRATTS PRACTICAL POINTERS]

POULTRY

Early in life, when two to four days old, all chicks should be treated with Pratts Head Lice Ointment.  Rub a little of the mild preparation on top of the head, under the throat and beneath the wings.  At the same time dust with Pratts Powdered Lice Killer.  Treat the mother hens most thoroughly, substituting Pratts Lice Salve for the ointment.  When the youngsters are ten days old, treat them again, this time using the salve.  And repeat the treatment at reasonably frequent intervals to insure complete freedom from the trouble makers.

The deadly blood-sucking mites do not live on the bodies of the birds, but make their homes in cracks and crevices of walls and floors of the coops.  Attack them there.  Clean coops carefully, then spray or wash walls and floors with Pratts Red Mite Special.  Repeat as necessary.  That will fix ’em.  But you had best do the work on a bright, sunny day when the flock can be kept outside until the coop dries.

Feeding the Chicks

Do not feed chicks for forty-eight hours after hatching.  In fact, you may safely wait until they are seventy-two hours old before giving them their first meal.  Nature has provided for nourishment during this period and it is best not to upset things.
