Family Favorites
Strawberry jam hot buttered biscuits have been family
favorites since the beginning of time —home canning time that is.
But gone are the days when jam had to be boiled for hours, cooled
and covered with paraffin,

flaky biscuits, and here is how you make luscious strawberry jam.
It’s quick and easy. Better hurry and get together the things you
will need because strawberries are, or soon will be. red ripe and
ready.
Strawberry Jam
4 3 /i cups prepared berries 1 box fruit pectin
7 cups sugar

berries and pectin into a 4 to 6 quart kettle. Stir over high heat
until mixture reache-, a fast boil. Add sugar—keep stirring. Bring
mixture to fast boil and let boil exactly one minute Remove from
heat; quickly skim off foam. Do not stir to cool. Pour boiling hot
jam to within Vs inch of the top of half pint jars. You won’t need
paraffin because the Dome lid keeps the jar sealed airtight. Put

HOT WEATHER’S
HARD ON BROILERS
Good management practices and regular use of Early Bird feeds
make a winning combination for any poultryman, especially during the
■difficult summer months.
A WINNING COMBINATION
Hot weather's hard on broilers. At the beginning of summer, feed
intake will often increase to about 185 pounds per 1,000 in the eighth
week. But then feeding levels off and it's this leveling-off process
ihat slows growth and interferes with good conversions.
Here's where the winning combination of good management
Early Bird feed becomes apparent. NO feed, whatever its merits will
take the place of good hot weather management. But by making sure
your birds are comfortable, and by using Early Bird rations exclusively,
you can help feeding stay normal during hot weather. Special additives
in Early Bird rations will help stimulate the feed intake during warm
weather when broilers often lose appetite and weight.
Here are some recently recorded performances on Early Bird
Broiler feeds:

18,000
3,500

GOOD? Of course it’s good and it shows what can be accomplished
when a grower manages to combine ALL of the necessary factors
which go into producing GOOD birds at a LOW COST.
These RESULTS show whai can
be accomplished when a grower
combines good management and
quality Early Bird feeds to produce
top quality birds at low cost.
