Separator MIX.

Separator milk is a good pig feed.
but not a perfect pig feed by anv
means, and unless cornmeal and mid
dlings or ground oats is fed in thick
slop, pigs are liable to drink so much
milk that fermentation takes place in
their tstomachs instead Of normal d.
session taking place. with the result
that they bloat up and die. Don't nut
medicated salt in the drink of pig.

but the best way is to mix the salt
with ashes and some charcoal and let
gle pig eat it al will.

it comes to table cup of beverage,

rich golden brown when cream is
added, and the taste is very like

Postum is a veritable food-drink
and highly nourishing, containing
all the parts of wheat carefully pre-

per cent Of New Orleans molasses,
and that is absolutely all that
