MILK in WINTER.

Why do your cows give less milk
in winter than they do in summer?
Just because nature does not supply
them with grasses and green food.
But we have come to the assistance
Of Dame Nature with B. A. Thomas

very ingredients that the green feed
supplies in season, only, of course,
in more highly concentrated form.
We guarantee that this remedy will
make your cows give more milk, and
better milk, with the same feed.

He was preceded to the grave by
one sister, 26 years of age. A loving

He bore his sufferings with great
patience and fortitude and asked the
