New, large-scale equipment
is making it easier to wait
until soil has the right mois
ture for good plowing. This
eight-bottom, semi-mount
ed plow is new this year. It
requires a near-90-horse
power tractor for power.
These large mounted plows
require somewhat different
methods of adjustment than
do pull-type plows. Be sure
to check tractor tire pres
sure when using a mounted
plow. Use the instruction
manual for adjustments.

HOW TO TURN
MORE REPLACEMENTS
INTO PROFITABLE
EGG PRODUCERS
Do this: coordinate proper feeding with
protective medication through every stage —
from baby chicks to laying hens.
You’ve selected your replacement
chicks for bred-in characteristics
that should bring you more eggs
over a longer period at less cost.
How can you be more certain
that these chicks will live up to their
potential and make your egg-produc
ing operation an economic success?
By following good management
and sanitation practices. By taking
every precaution to see that disease
is kept out of your flocks all the tvay
through ...from chick to laying hen.
Disease, visible or invisible, is
the biggest handicap to making more
egg money. The Cyanamid Feed
Health Program — described step
by-step here—shows you ivhat to do
to lick disease, tvhen to do it and how
to do it. It’s a proved program—
practical, sound, easy to follow.
Talk to your feed man. Ask him
for your free folder which describes,
in detail, the Cyanamid Feed-Health
Program for layers and breeders.
If he cannot supply you, write direct
to: American Cyanamid Company,

2. Feed potentiated starter feed
with Aureomycin. A pf starter con
taining 200 grams of aureomycin per
ton, fed for 3 to 4 weeks, protects
against CRD, synovitis, blue comb and
coccidiosis — guards against vaccina
tion reactions.
3. Dust away Newcastle disease and
bronchitis. Control Newcastle disease
and infectious bronchitis simultane
ously. Use Cyanamid Dust biolator®,
or aquavac® in the drinking water, at
1 to 7 days of age. Repeat at 3 to 4
weeks and 12 to 16 weeks of age.
5. Don’t risk disease setbacks later.
Use a potentiated treatment feed con
taining 200 grams of aureomycin per
ton at any time trouble shows up,
including coccidiosis outbreaks, aureo
mycin effectively controls CRD, syno
vitis, blue comb as well as coccidiosis.

6. House more top-performing hens.
When you follow this program, you put
more healthy pullets in the laying
house. At the first sign of trouble—
drop in feed consumption or slump in
egg production—use a feed containing
AUREOMYCIN.

CYAN AMID SERVES THE MAN WHO MAKES A BUSINESS OF AGRICULTURE _
1. Give them health in the drinking
water. First immediate step for re
placement chicks is aureomycin®
Soluble in the drinking water for first
48 hours. This assures adequate early
intake of aureomycin to guard against
CRD, synovitis and blue comb.
4. Keep growing chicks healthy. At
4 weeks of age, change to grower feed
with 0.02% Nitrophenide. Feed up to
12 weeks to control coccidiosis. If an
outbreak occurs after 12 weeks, treat
with sulmet® drinking water solution.
The label instructions on Cyanamid
products, and on products containing
Cyanamid ingredients, are the result
of years of research and have been
accepted by Federal and/or State Gov
ernments. Always read the labels and
carefully follow directions for use.
