feed MILL ON FARM
is A HANDY THING
Grinder Is One of Best Economic
erS Farmer Can Own for
Preparing Grain Feed.

On any farm where there is stock
to feed, whether COWS, sheep, hogs or
poultry, the feed mill or grinder is
one of the best economizers of food
one can have. These mills are made
in various sizes and suited to the
large or the small farm. With such
a mill one is in a position to give va
riety in form of feeding that is i'm
possible unless one is prepared to buy
various kinds of ground food.
Where corn constitutes the main
food, as is the case on most farms, it
is plain to see that it is not advis-
able to feed it in the same form all
the time. With the feed grinder it
is possible to mix the several ground
grains in small quantities which one
would hardly buy. Where poultry
keeping is a part of the farm indus
try there will be found abundant use
for the feed grinder and it will pay
good profit on the investment

Oats are a bulky feed to feed as a

Muscle and bone are required more
