24O Pound Pigs

With corn above so cents. hogs
eat their heads off very quickly.
The hog that takes two or three
months to get fat on full feed
never brings you a profit.
When you are ready to put
your shoats on feed, begin with
the B. A. Thomas Hog Medicine.
Use regularly and watch your
shoats round out into fat hogs
in nine months hogs going well
over 200 pounds and as high as
24O pounds. Figure the average
feeding and you will see why
the B. A. Thomas medicine is q
good investment. Try feeding
out your hogs on this plan and if
you are not more than pleased.
we will refund the cost Of the
medicine. St. Clair Drug Co.
