Doubtless one of the best reasons fcr
their continued popularity is tfee fact
that they specialize ia those melo-

Profits from broilers are determined
largely by how early in the season
they reach market size, according to
the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foun-
dation. A two-pound broiler on April
1 is worth 50 per cent more than one
the same weight which is not ready
until two months later, 75 per cent
more than one three months later, and
200 per cent more than one marketed
five months later on September 1.
Supplies increase rapidly after June
and prices fade under the heavier
offerings.
Twelve weeks are sufficient to bring
a chicken of the heavier breeds to two
pounds. This means that chicks must
be hatched by the first of February
if they are to be of market weight in
time to get the cream off the early
high market The general use of in-
cubators has pushed up the hatching
date on the average farm, so that it
is easily within the range of possibili-
ties for farmers to have broilers ready
for market in time to get some ad-
vantage of the early high prices.
Cost account records show that the
largest profits are made by marketing
broilers at one and a quarter to two
and a quarter pounds in weight Above
this weight lower prices and Increased
feed costs eat up the profit When
prices are declining rapidly, it is often
better to sell broilers a little light as
the decline in price per pound will
more than offset the additional weight

Just Tottering,
So Weak
"I was in a bad. state of
health and was going through
a critical time of my life ” says
Mrs. Ella Scarborough, R. F. B.
5, Dothan, Ala. "Several dif-
ferent things were recommend-
ed to me, but I did not get
any real relief until I began to
take CarduL
"I was just as weak as could
be. My legs were shaky, and
often I would just totter
around the house. I finally got
so bad that I was in bed sever-
al weeks.
"It was then that I began to
Tttire CarduL I kept it up for
quite a while, and at last I re-
gained my health. Cardui was
certainly a friend to me in time
of need.
"My health is splendid now,
and I seldom have to use
medicine, but I gladly say a
word about Cardui whenever
I find a friend going through
the same suffering which I en-
dured.”
