WAR AND THE EGG



AS we write these lines the greatest War the world has
ever known is raging. It has changed our sur-
roundings entirely ; altered our outlook in many
ways. It is interesting to note its effect on the Poultry
Industry, and one of the outstanding features caused by it is
the huge demand which has arisen for eggs produced in this
country, owing to the impossibility of obtaining imported
foreign eggs. Poultry keepers who can produce and market
a plentiful supply of eggs can even now get high prices and
make good profits ; and the tendency is for prices — and
consequently ^profits — to become still higher. The great
problem for the Poultry Farmer is therefore how to get
more and more Eggs. It is just here that Molassine
Laying Meal (aided by Molassine Prepared Green Bone)
comes in. These Foods, which have already a national
reputation, are manufactured by The Molassine Co., Ltd.,
Greenwich, and are used daily for thousands of hens on
their Model Poultry Farms at Twyford in Berkshire.
Molassine Laying Meal has given some wonderful egg
records— one pen of White Wyandottes averaging
234 eggs each in twelve months.
So satisfied was the Molassine Company with its own
practical tests and results at Twyford that it decided to
place this Laying Meal upon the market, and it is now
obtainable at all good Dealers' shops throughout the United
Kingdom. Any Poultry Keeper will, on application to
The Molassine Co., Ltd. (O.P. Dept.), Greenwich, S.E.,
be furnished with a free sample and full particulars, together
with a special booklet entitled "Foods and Feeding" ^d. in
stamps should be enclosed to cover cost of packing, postage,
etc.).
