It Hit Me Like a Brick! The other day as I waa writing, 1 suddenly stopped—a thought bit me like a brick. Tou tee. It wa* thla way. There are several folks who believe I know quite a bli about feeding problems and one of the country's leading newaphpcm bad asked me to write for them a simple explanation of Just what a baby chirk needs to be properly fed. I started my article by quoting Professor Duirher of Pennsylvania State College, who says. ' The secret of micceariu) . and proper feeding (no matter whether It be a rblld. a thicken, a cow or a hog) Is to furnish sufficient variety to take care of protein quality, vitamin supply and mineral salts. This, with plenty of sunshine will usualy produce results." My friends, that's the best ard simplest explanation of the "secret" of proper feeding that I know. So, I sat and wrote about an Ideal baby chick food. 1 told bow cuicks needed leos protein tusn older birds, bow vegetable proteins are harder to digest and must be carefully selected lo avoid fermentation In the Intestine*—this Is why dried buttermilk with Us digestible protein and Us lactic acid that aids digestion, checks ferment and acts as an "Intestinal broom." Is eo valuable. I showed bow fats should be low In a baby chick food because a baby chick baa little need for rich, beating fat. And how Indigestible fibre was uselew and should be as low as passible to avoid uselessly taxing the tender digestion. I spoke of how yellow corn and millet should be used to supply the growth vitamin A. I told of the bone meal, the buttermilk, a bit of Epnom salts and luiddllnga to supply the needed calcium, phosphorus, potassium-magnesium, sulfur and Iron—I spoke of the importance of sunlight and then—the thought hit me like a brick. "Why." I said to myself, "you are Juat describing Pratts Buttermilk Baby Chick Food to a tee." Unconsciously 1 had proven to myself the scientific goodness of Pratts. America's Quality Feed Line.
