A WORD TO FEEDERS ABOUT
GOOD AND POOR FEEDS

we oil huON ludI the dheIdSt
feeder does not give enough thought
on this subject, and our observation,
and experience has been that it pays
to give time and thought to a mat
ter that should interest us so much,
as the feed bills and animals togeth-
er embrace a considerable sum, and
should be considered more seriously
than some people seem to.
Our observation and experience
has been that it pays to feed the best
feeds available, in order to obtain
the best results from your animals
and fowls, as reason teaches the fair
minded, thinking feeder that this is
the cheapest in the end.
Most every feeder who has had
experience with feeding sweet feeds
will agree with US when we say that
some FEED manufacturers manufac-
ture and place on the market feeds
that are absolutely detrimental and
dangerous to feed to animals, as they
sometimes contain a low grade of
corn, oats, and many other things
too numerous to mention, and then
undertake to cover this musty oats or
corn (that has been het and some
times black-hearted) by using a lot
of cheap molasses. When we give it
a thought we all know that this
kind Of dope is worthless in value
and unhealthful for the animal, and
is in the writer's opinion the cause
of so many horses being run down
in health, and the owner has not
stopped to think where the trouble
is and some QUACK veterinary viii!
come along and say its that dam
sweet feed, and maybe the Door fell
low thinks SWEET FEED is SWELL
FEED and don't know but what the
whole thing is counterfeit by the
time the doctor has finished, and II
the doctor knows better he some
times fails to tell the fellow. The
veterinarian knows that about 95
per cent of the people in this sec.
tion feeds sweet feed of some kind
and 50 times gu. of a hundred he
will make the man believe that sweet
feed has caused the trouble, while il
might or might not have caused it,
nine times out of ten he never sees
{ the feed-he don't know whether i
q is good, bad or Indifferent. Tn,
writer has known horses to die b.
, the bunch in Tennessee and Ken
, lucky that never saw feed of swee
feed. Now, what would the poor vet
say If he had been there. Blind stag
gers, guess.
Fl To avoid Ito great extent) wha
4 is known as blind staggers, woul'
advise that you keep your ANNA
: from standing or grazing in opel
pastures where there is no shad
during the hot summer months, an
faed the enimal on the best feed
!. available regardless of the cost, an
see that you get balanced ratio
II composed of pure sound corn crack
:, ed, pure sound oats, this mixed wit
4 some choice paa green alfalfa groun
> and sweetened with pure cane syrul
!, This is better known throughout tn
South as OLD BECK. When ono
. you feed it, you will appreciate i
:. and your horse will love it and
well and fatten on it. 1t is palitabl
= to the taste; 1t is easily digested-
is so prepared that when tina anims
!, eats it, it is digested without effor
and the animal system unhesitatinl
ly takes it up and no loss from pas
ing away unassimilated.
1t is not so much in how muC
your animal eats as it is what l
VI utilities.
VI We want you to bear in mind tn;
ie we have, and are still striving
W give the best feeds that money ca
buy at the very lowest prices pc
.. sibla, and we guarantee every pac
~ age Of our feeds. both chicken, hors

III give perfect satisfaction.
