Lakeview Poultry Farm Wein Bros. 50 EGGS OR 25 EGGS& In conversation With Hum Willard,-— ’’Did you figure up your records for November and December?” “Yes, and I have every day’s eggs,” “What did they average?” “181 eggs per day for November and 179.9 eggs for December.” “How often do you feed wormfood?" “Every foul* weeks and sometimes 3 weeks, as they lay more eggs each time I feed It,” “What do you think of wormfood?” “Well if I hadn’t got hold of it when I did my flock would have been ruined.” What do ypp think of Health Mineral?” “I shut my pullets up in September and they started looking pale and dumpy and I lost 6 or 8 with paralysis, I fed them worm­ food and put them on mineralized cone, and they gained right up to over 80%, I think 89% isn’t bad for 3 months,” “Did you have any cannibalism or feather pulling after using Health Mineral?” “No, they were picking each other and I couldn’t stop them until they got mineral.’ I thought there was something they want­ ed. After using mineral they stopped picking in short order. That mineral will be great stuff in the chick mash. That mineral should be great stuff to stop cannibalism and feather pulling in chicks and .growing pullets.” “How do your -pullets look now?” “They look as good as ever, deep dark red combs and singing to beat the band.” “How much Profit did you make since they started to lay?” “I had an average of 4. cases of eggs a .week or 16 cases a month for 3 months.
