500 Chicks' Lives Saved

A Great Tribute to Karswood A dead chick is a dead loss, and the death-rate among baby chicks is very high. It is estimated that one chick in every five dies before it grows up. There are ;nany reasons for this high death-rate, but the chief is wrong feeding. . There will be no dead chicks if you feed them on good meal sprinkled over with Karswood Chicken Powder (containing ground insects). Read the proof below. Karswood stooped deaths instantly and Chickens forged ahead. 6 Francis Street, Parnworth, near Bolton. Early this year I bought some "White Wyandottes and Rhode Island Red chicks from a reliable breeder, and commenced rearing them on alternate feeds of good Meal sprinkled with Karswood Chicken Powder (containing ground insects) and a good dry chick feed, as advised in the Karswood Poultry Book. The chicks came on by leaps and bounds —even the breeder himself praised them, and said that he had never seen a finer lot of chickens. However, at four weeks old my stock of Karswood ran out, and, not being able to obtain any more Karswood in the district, I bought" another well-known food. My chicks began to die off like flies on a fly-catcher. Then, when my dealer obtained his stock of Karswood, I returned to the Karswood system of chick rearing, which immediately stopped the rot. The chicks have been bright and alert ever since, and I have not lost one. Wishing your business every success. (Signed) FRANK LOWE. Bth March, 1921. 500 Chickens' Lives Saved From Rev. Chas. Birkett, Staveley Rectory, near Harrogate. To Karswood, Ltd., Manchester. Gentlemen. — am at the present moment under an exceptional obligation to Karswood and I feel it right to acknow-. ledge it at once. Recently I bought a ton of dry chick food from an exceptionally reliable firm. Disaster quickly followed. As to whether the chick feed was to blame or not the firm and I cannot agree. However, after over 500 chicks had died I determined not to continue the dry feed. I had no other chick feed on the place, but I felt so convinced of the soundness of Karswood that I determined to adopt it as an emergency expedient. It was a happy thought. Immediately a striking change took place in my chickens, the result was almost instantaneous cessation of mortality, the sickly chicks revived within twenty-four hours, and altogether I feel that Karswood saved me the loss of some 500 chicks. Fed on this hen food my chicks are now forging ahead. My last hatch, which had nothing but Karswood, are going ahead in fine —none dead, none sick. I am so grateful to Karswood that I willingly offer you the chance of making what use of this letter you desire. Yours truly, CHAS. BIRKETT.
