The matter Of feed is Of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. Wrong feeding IS
loss. Right eeding IS profit.
4. The up-to.date farmer knows
! what to feed his cows 5. to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
the most pork, his hens to
get the most eggs. Science.
.s 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 anemia?
J. 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 i. delicate
: children.
