PROFIT

The matter Of feed is OF
tremendous Importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows
what to feed his COWS to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
But how about the children !
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and muscle food If they
are thin and weak and a blood
food if there is anemiaf
SCOTS Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and muscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. It is the standard
scientific food for delicate
children.

of brace a over whichever pin will make
gate swing clear of ground.
If post ever gives and lets gate sag,
lift on front of gate and hook brace a
up a pin or so till clear of ground again.
If a big snow comes along, hook the
gate up till it swings almost clear. If
you want hogs or sheep or small calves
to pass through and restrain larger
stock, just hook your gate up in front
till high enough to allow the animals
to pass, then let it down again, when
not needed in that way. The gate is
kept closed by a common swing latch,
as shown. Try it, brother farmers, and
| think you will say it is the best gate
you vel used.-J. W. Stevens, in Farm
