THE TWO INvINCIBLES
Cod Liver Oil and Iron.

Cod Liver oil and iron in some form
or other are prescribed by physicians
the world over, more than any other
two remedies the world has ever
known, for anemia or poor blood
weakness, convalescence, and all
wasting and pulmonary diseases.
Iron, because it is the basis OF the
blood and without sufficient amount
the blood is impoverished, watery,
pale and impure.
Cod Liver Oil, because it contains
curative and reconstructive qualities
greater than that possessed by any
other one medicinal agent.
In Vinol, modern science has given
to the world a combination of these
two world famed tonics-Cod Liver
Oil and Iron, but shorn of all useless
oil or disagreeable features.
Ninol is made by scientific, ex-
tractive and concentrating process
from fresh Gods livers, combining
with peptonate -of-iron all the medi-
cinal, healing, body building elements
of cod liver oil, but no oil.
As body builder and strength Gre
ator for old people, delicate children,
weak, run down persons, after sick
ness, and for Chronic Coughs, Colds,
Bronchitis. and all throat and lung
troubles, Vinol is unexcelled.
We ask Skowhegan people to give
Vinol trial. 1t won't cost anything
unless it gives satisfaction. F. w.

PIG MANS EASY JOB.

OF Pork In Year.

Average Family Eats a Quarter Ton
OF Pork In Year.
By Professor HARRY HAYWOOD. Della
ware.
That pork production is an importa Mt
agricultural industry Is shown by the
fact that In the year 300 the average
private family ate little over half q
ton of meat. nearly half of which was
pork. This fact is explained by anoth-
er fact-pigs for various reasons are
more profitable animals TO raise than
beef steers or sheep and On this &C.
count always have occupied and prob
ably always will occupy a prominent
place in American agriculture.
In the first place. pigs are more pro-
life than any other class Of farm ami
mails. They mature more quickly and
can therefore be turned off sooner than
any other live stock save poultry.
Again. the pig produces its meat upon
considerably less feed than any other
meat producing animal. much Of which
feed could not be used adyantageously
in any other way. A pound of pork
can be produced upon half the amount
OF feed that Is required TO produce
pound of beef and two-thirds as much
as it requires to make a pound of NUT
ton Another point In favor OF the
pig Is that the percentage Of dressed
weight Is higher In pork than in either
beef or mutton
There is probably no branch Of ami
mai husbandry that can be taken up
with as small capital as raising pigs
They can be kept in comparatively
large numbers in small Enclosures or
they will do we'll on pasture which
furnishes part of their feed, and they
are subject to but few diseases. As
population increases the demand for
pork will also increase. 1t Is one OF
our most palatable and nourishing
meats.
Practical experience shows that one
good man can handle quite large
herd OF hogs If he will properly ar
range his pasturing and feeding sys-
tens. Some pasture seems essential
TO success This calls for a very
small area of tilable ground per head,
which in course of time should become
very rich and productive from the
dropplngs of the animals and the grow
ing of legumes for feed.
