Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier

Feed Out Your Hogs Six Weeks
Earlier
In every lot of hogs on feed two
or three fatten quickly and actually
eat less than others. II all would
fatten like these, the entire drove
would be ready for the market siz
weeks earlier, and to save six weeks
feed is an item that you fully I'M
derstand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
b. A. Thomas Hog Powder is a con-
d!tioner for hogs. 1t keeps their
system clean and healthy and en-
ables them to fatten quickly with
out falling a prey to the usual dis
eases of hogs. The B. A. Thomas Is
not stock food. It's straight medi-
cine, and we took the agency be-
cause it enables you to feed out
your hogs much earlier. G. 8. Kray-
