food which you feed your hor

you want medicine, buy only
medicine. That is what you
get in B. A. Thomas' Stock
■Remedy. We sell it and guar
antee it to be medicine. We tell
| you that it will tone up the en
tire system of your stock ana
aid digestion, thereby causing
them to get all the food value
out of the grain that vou feed
them . F. C. HOYT & CO.

My Uncle Sam’s a fine old man
As fine as fine can be,
If you don’t blow up his ships,
Or block his open sea.
But if you do, look out for him!
For when such work is done,
He’ll fly or float, or walk or
swim,
To hunt you with his gun.
The Hun may drive old Russ;a
back,
And of it make.his brag,
But he will never make a track
Where floats our Uncle’s flag.
If he ever makes the track,
Now, listen what I say,
You’ll find his toes running
back,
His heels pointed this way.

" We are using Buckeye Hulls and are very much pleased
with them. We think they are superior to old style
hulls.”
To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the huttt
thoroughly twelve hourt before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
tms cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only hedf as much by bulk as of eld style hulls.
