of time all the exposed portions would
peel off. but that covered by the nail
would be protected and thus bear ties.

great that young Tolstoy afterward

This feed was recommended to
me personally by Prof. P.S. Til

ing the best feed from an analy-
teal standpoint, offered to the
public, and from his personal
experience, and the amount of
business being done wherever
this feed is introduced justified
him in saying that it would
meet every requirement.. This
feed consists Of ground corn, al.
falfa, rice polish and a small
amount of cotton seed meal,
steam cooked with black strap
molasses. This is a mixture of
standard feeds raised to higher
feed value by the addition of
molasses and steam cooking. 1t
is perfectly balanced ration and
by Government Reports this
