sUCCULENT FEED FOR STOCK
sIIaoe Is Best and Cheapest Way, Say
Specialists of Bureau Of Ami
NAL Industry. ~

Sllage IS the best and cheapest form
In which to store succulent feed, say
specialists Of the bureau of animal in
dustry Of the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture. Many forage
crops can be made into silage, but
corn, where it can be grown success
fully, makes the best silage.
Good silage depends upon cutting the
crop at the right stage, fine cutting,
even distribution, thorough packing,
and plenty of moisture in the cut ma
terial. When rightly put up and care
fully fed, there should be little If any
loss through spelling.
Sllage is well suited for feeding to
all live stock. Dairy cows need it per-
haps more than other classes of ami
mails, because the succulence which it
supplies is very necessary for large
milk production. 1t Is a cheap and
economical feed for beef cattle, from
breeding COW to fattening steer. Sheep
like it, and it is well suited to their
needs. Even horses and mules may
be fed limited quantities of good silage
with good results.

# You Need a Medicine
You Should Have the BeSi

Have you ever stopped to reason why
it is that SO many products that are ex-
tensively advertised, all at once drop out
of sight and are soon forgotten? The
reason is plain-the article did not fulfill
the promises of the manufacturer. This
applies more particularly to medicine.
A medicinal preparation that has real
curative value almost sells itself, as like
an endless chain system the remedy is
recommended by those who have been
benefited, to those who are in need of it.
A prominent druggist says "Take for
example Dr. Kilmer's Swamp Root, a
preparation l have sold for many years
and never hesitate to recommend, for in
almost every case it shows excellent re-
suits, as many of my customers testify.
No other kidney remedy has 60 large a
SALE"
According to sworn statements and
verified testimony of thousands who have
used the preparation, the success Of DR..
Kilmer's Swamp Root is due to the fact,
20 many people claim, that it fulflls al
most every wish in overcoming kidney,
liver and bladder ailments; corrects uri-
nary troubles and neutralizes the uric
acid which causes rheumatism.
You may receive a sample bottle OF
Swamp-Root by Parcels Post. Address
