FEED OUT YOUR HOGS
SIX WEEKS EARLIER

In every lot of hogs on feed two or
three weeks quickly and actually eat
less than other. If all would fatten
like these, the entire drove would be
ready for the market six weeks
earlier and to save six weeks feed is
an item that you fully understand.
The hog that fattens easily must
be in prime physical condition. The
B. A. Thomas Hog Powder is con-
ditioner for hogs. It keeps their sys-
tenn clean and healthy and enables
them to fatten quickly without fall
ing a prey to the usual diseases of
hogs. The B. A. Thomas Hog Pow
der is not stock feed. It's straight
medicine and we took the agency be-
cause it enables you to feed out your
hogs much earlier Sold by G. E..

dumb animals for pets.
l have small dog named Ouch
She is about one foot high and a
little over two feet long. The more

When Ouch wants something to

looks pitefully as if to say, I'm SO
hungary, Thelma." When she
wants something to drink she will
60 to the sink and bark.
When we give her bone she
goes to the door and will lay the
bone down and takes her nose and
pushes the screen door open, then
she picks up her bone and goes out
and buries it. And when she
goes to bed at night l have a rug
which l spread on the floor; she
lies down on it and I cover her up.
She will stay there all night unless
she gets cold, then she will sneak
upstairs to our rooms to get us to
cover her up again. But mamma
gets real provoked at her for that
and scolded her So a few nights
after that she got uncovered and
got part way upstairs and fell back
down and made quite noise. She
laid very still long time till she
thought we were asleep again
Then came on upstairs and laid
