Here is something that is worth many
dollars to every farmer to know: Sprin-
lSle lime in your stock tank and not a
particle of scum will form on the water.
When the lime loses its strength scum
Will begin to form, which may be twice
! during the season, wash out the tank
and repeat the dose. 1t is cheap, not
only harmless but wholesome, keeps the
water sweet and saves the live stock.
