resentative he fed these cattle for sew
eral months on a finishing ration of
corn and linseed oil meal They were
bought as yearlings and showed very
good gains while on feed. However,
this did not prevent them from losing
money, the feeder stated. Corn is
selling around Soc per bu., in our To-
cality," said Mr.. johnson, and much
of it is of inferior quality. The crop
was not made until September and a
greater portion of it is soft. There
are only a moderate number of cattle
on feed in our locality as many oper-
ators have become discouraged be-
causes of the low prices prevailing for

CONDEMN HIGH PRICED
STOCK FOODS
Prominent Hog Raiser Says Prices
Charged Are Unwarranted-
Makes His Own Hog Food,
With Better Results.

1That he is all through paying fancy
prices for stock foods and hog REM
edies and he is raising some of the
best hogs eyer placed on the market"
was the statement made recently by
E. H. Beckstead, well known hog raiser
and authority on live stock.
Mr.. Beckstead's hogs are the envy
Of his neighbors, and have topped the
market" for several years in Iowa.
He states that for years he bought
high-priced hog foods and hog rem
edies, but he is all through paying ev-
travagant prices for what he can make
himself. He states that what the hogs
need are minerals, and tells the secret
of his wonderful success by explaining
that he takes about five pounds of
ordinary mineraline (Which is pure
concentrated minerals and costs only a
couple of dollars) and mikes same
with enough bran or filler to make a
hundred pounds. All hogs, and es-
neutrality-suspicious. require minerals as
they keep them free from worms, and
in the pink of condition, and are essen
tiai to the hog growth and a well bal
anced ration. This inexpensive mix
.ture placed in a sheltered box where
the hogs can get at it as they need it,
will produce far better results than
any high priced so-called stock foods.
Send two dollars to The Mineraline
Chemical Co., 1888 North Wells St.,

you by prepaid parcel post enough
minrealine to make a full hundred
