DEMAND FOR TANLAC
ALMOST INCREDIBLE
Big Laboratories at Dayton Unable to Supply Enormous
Demand—Capacity Increased to Thirty Thousand Bot
tles Daily Dealers and Jobbers Clamoring for It —
Branch Plants to be Established Throughout United
States and Canada.
<< II ST tell the people to have a little patience and we will soon be able
to supply the demand for Tanlae.”
This was the message recently flashed from the offices of G. F. Willis,
the Southern and Western distributor of Tanlae at Atlanta, Georgia.
The message was sent out in response to the urgent telegrams, letters
and long distance phone calls which have been pouring into his offices from
the leading dealers and drug jobbers from all parts of the South and West,
complaining that the demand for Tanlae was greatly in excess of the
supply.
Tn a later statement Mr. Willis said:
“This condition was brought about
not only hy’the enormous demand for
Tanlae hut by the congested condition
of the railroads.
“When it seemed almost certain
that the threatened nation-wide rail
road strike would go into effect we
made arrangements to keep our prin
cipal distributors supplied by express.
Over one thousand ($1,000.00) dollars
was spent for express charges in a
single day on Texas and Oklahoma
orders alone.
Working at Top Speed.
“Although the big Tanlae laborato
ries at Dayton, Ohio, have been run
ning at top speed turning out their
full capacity of approximately twenty
five thousand bottles per day, we have
been wholly unable to meet the de
mand for Tanlae which has been cre
ated during the past two years.
“In addition to the Dayton laborato
ries with their enormous output the
Cooper Medicine Company is now plan
ning to establish branch plants in the
Central West, on the West coast and
in the Dominion of Canada, and unless
international complications mnke it
impossible for us to secure the numer
ous ingredients in the way of roots,
herbs, barks, etc., many of which come
from remote parts of the globe, we
will be able to take care of any future
demand.”
The wonderful growth and develop
ment of Tanlae has been the marvel of
the commercial world and the amaz
ing success achieved by the prepara
tions seems almost incredible.
What Dealers Say.
In only two years’ time over seven
and one-half million bottles have been
sold and the demand is constantly in
creasing. Although placed on the mar
ket in Texas and Oklahoma but a few
months ago practically a third of a
million bottles have already been sold
and thousands have been unable to ob
tain it on account of the inability of
the laboratory to supply it.
Dealers and jobbers have been al
most frantic because of their inabil
ity to fill the thousands of orders they
have been receiving and the following
letters and telegrams from well known
firms gave ample evidence of the won
derful growth and popularity of Tan
lac:

As can readily be seen, it Is nothing
unusual for dealers to order a car load
of Tanlae and have every bottle of it
sold before it arrives. In fact, many
of the Tanlae jobbers and distributors
invariably order the second and third
cars before the car en route has time
to reach them.
What is the answer to all this?
There is only one explanation, and that
is very simple. The inherent purity
and wholesomeness of the medicine

PEDIGREE SYSTEM OF POULTRY RAISING
(By C. T. PATTERSON.)
Owing to thd many questions asked
concerning the keeping of pedigree
records, we believe an explanation of
our pedigree system will be of interest
to all who intend to keep records of
their breeding yards in the future.
The success of any institution de
pends to a great extent upon the sys
tem of operation and system of rec
ords. The two most important points
to be considered are accuracy and sim
plicity.
It is necessary for all poultry breed
ers who do accurate breeding to adopt
BREEDING PEN AT MISSOURI STATION
some method or system of keeping rec
ords and the less complication, the
greater the value of the system.
The Missouri state poultry experi
ment station is all under one system
of band numbers, which is as fol
lows : All pens are numbered, the
male in each pen bears the same num
oer as the pen, and each hen bears
the same number and in addition her
ndividual number to the right. To
llustrate, pen No. 147 contains male
Vo. 147, and females from 1470 to 1479
nclusive, there being -ten females in

EGG TESTER IS HANDY
Examination Should Be Made
Twice During Incubation.
Useful Device Can Easily Be Made
From Double Thickness of Heavy
Paper—Fertile Eggrf Will
Have Dark Spot.
(Clemson College Bulletin.)
All eggs that are incubating should
oe examined twice during the hatchi
ng period. An egg tester can be
made from a mailing tube. Pre
pare a double thickness of heavy
yrown paper, four inches square, place
tne end of the tube at the center
md double the edges of the paper
aver it—to form a paper cap. . Fasten
:he cap with three wrappings of cord.
2ut a hole one Inch in diameter in the
top of the cap.
The free end of the tube Is placed
\t the eye and the egg to be examined
,s pressed lengthwise against the hole
n the cap. Point the tester and egg
to the sun or a bright light and you
•an plainly see the contents of the
;gg-
The eggs are first tested at the end
af the first week. The fertile eggs
with live embryos in them have a.
lark spot (the embryo or young
ffiick) in the upper part of the egg,
with numerous vgins radiating from
t. These eggs are to be returned to
he hen or incubator. Clear eggs (in
fertile), eggs with a ring of blood (an
artinryo that grew a few hours and
lied), and clouded eggs are to be de
stroyed. However, the clear, infertile
?ggs can be kept and boiled hard for
:hiok food.
The eggs are again tested at the end
the second week. At this stage of
.ucubation a live embryo darkens all
the egg except the air cell in the large
md. Eggs appearing otherwise are
rejected.
Two or three hens should be set
at the same time. By testing the eggs
at the end of the first week, it is
usually possible to remove sufficient
aggs to release one hen. Another sit
ting of eggs can be placed under her
at once and you are relieved of the
work of caring for her two weeks for
no result. Testing gets rid of eggs
which will become rotten and create a
stench, and results in a more success
ful hatch.
POULTRY MANURE IS USEFUL
Mixed With Sifted Wood's Earth It
May Be Profitably Used for Corn
and Garden Crops.
Poultry manure, from hens fed upon
mixed grain, bone and meat meal, clo
ver or alfalfa meal, mixed with wheat
bran and flaxseed meal, is very rich
in plantfood. This manure should be
mixed with sifted wood’s earth, or
rich earth and kept dry. This mix
ture may be profitably used for corn
and Truck crops.
Fine manure from cattle and sheep
pens and scrapings from the barnyard
on most farms, will be enough to fer
tilize several acres. The great diffi
culty in using bulky manures is the
labor and time it takes to apply them.
These methods are well suited to the
fanner having family help, but not for
the one employing day hands at high
prices.
and pullets are used in the same pen
the first five are hens and the last five
are pullets. Hide the right-hand figure
of a hen’s number and you have the
pen number, also the male’s number in
that pen. Oue yard may contain a
number of pens, but this does not
break the numbering system. If any
bird gets out of the pen, the number
tells where It belongs.
Each hen is caught in a trapnest
when she goes on to the nest to lay,
and upon being released, her band
number is placed on the egg. It will
be seen that an egg marked in 1472 i#
from hen 2 in pen 147 and fertilized
by male 147, while 1476 is from pullet
6 in* pen 147 and fertilized by male
147. v
When the egg is incubated and the
chick hatched in pedigree tray, the
number on the egg is placed on the
chick’s leg band and as soon ns the
band needs loosening because of the
thick's leg growing, the band is
placed in the chick’s wing where it
remains permanently. Thus the pedi
gree band is in the wing, which will
prevent confusing the pullet with the
hen which has her band on the leg.
EIGHT CAPITAL EGG POINTS
Essentials for Successful Poultry Feed
ing’Given by Expert of Mis
souri College.
H. Jj. Kempster of the Missouri Col
lege of Agriculture gives the following
essentials for successful poultry feed
ing: ,
Grain (scratch feed) and ground
feed (mash).
2. Animal feed, such as beef scrap
or sour skim milk.
3. Grit and oyster shell.
4. Green food.
5. Clean, fresh water. *
6. Liberal feeding.
7. Plenty of exercise.
8. Regular attention.
Hens eat front five to eight pounds
of feed a month, or sixty to eighty
in a year. The daily feed eaten
by a hen Is from three to four ounces.
The daily ration for 100 hens Is from
nineteen to twenty-five pounds.
Hens drink about six pounds of milk
a month. One hundred hens drink 2%
gallons of milk daily.
On limited range a laying hen eats
two pounds of grit and three pounds
of oyster shell in a year.
PLACE FOR SPROUTING OATS.
Warm Cellar or Furnace Room Is Ex
cellent—Sprinkling With Water
Aids Growth.
A warm cellar or a furnace room
makes good places In which to sprout
oats. Light is not essential, though If
the oats are sprouted in the dark they
will not have a green color. One day’s
exposure to light will turn the sprouts
green, however. Sprinkling the oats
twice a day with water as warm as the
hand can stand, will greatly hasten
growth, but sprinkling with cold water
will result in a much slower growth,
writes T. Z. Richey in Farm and Home.
The box or tray in which the oats
are sprouted should provide good
drainage. If the water stands in the
trays the oats will mold and be unsafe
for feeding. A bl<Pk of oats a foot
square makes a good feed for 50 hens.
#
CONSTRUCTION OF HENHOUSE
Shape of Building Should Be Taken
Into Consideration—Square Struc
ture Is Cheapest.
In constructing a poultry house the
shape of the building should be taken
into consideration. Four square feet
of floor space should be allowed each
bird. A continuous house, such as 10
feet deep and 40 feet long, contains
400 square feet. It has a perimeter of
100 feet and holds 100 birds. A square
house of 20 by 20 feet contains the
same number of square feet, holds the
same number of birds and contains 2C
feet less of wall in perimeter measure
ment. A square house is the cheapest
type of poultry house to bpild.
