Purina Lay Chow. It costs no more to feed a good well ,
balanced ration that will produce steady, high produc
tion over a long period of time because on an inferior
ration the pullets or hens eat more and produce less.
Naturally a ration made up of carefully selected in
gredients cannot be prepared for the same price as the
inferior ration. Yet, measured in feed cost per dozen
I eggs, it is much cheaper. And don’t forget to feed the
