Empty nests mean lazy hens —not paying for their keep, and eating up the profits from hardworking pul- lets! Absenteeism means, feeding methods are faulty, or else the feed has not been up to the job required of it! Don't let empty nests show up in your poultry house. Rigid culling combined withproper feeding result in full-time capacity production. It .takes a feed de- signed for full-time production to keep pullets laying right up to their best abil- ity—and that feed is made by your local SHUR-GAIN Feed Service Mill.
