After 8 Weeks You Must Change the Feed For the first 8 weeks, Conkey's Butter- mill Starting Feed is the proper Feed, scientifically, for chicks, but Growing Chicks Must Have a Different Feed They must have more protein than the little chicks can stand. The same feed cannot serve for both pu for little chicks and for grow- ing fowls-if you expect to get the best results. That's why Conkey makes Conkey's Bcittermilk Growing Mash This is the great developing feed that most successful poultrymen use to bring their fowls quickly to early maturity-that insures early broilers and layers. Just right in protein and low in fibre. It is a wonderful bone and flesh builder. Feed it for rapid and certain results.

It works best when you talk straight into the mouthpiece, with your lips not more than an inch, away. Each added inch between your lips and the mouthpiece is the equivalent of add- ing 120 miles to the distance your voice must travel. Another suggestion: If you are told to \speak louder,\ get closer to the mouthpiece, use a' full natural tone and take extra care to pronounce each word clearly and distinctly.
