Prot. W. Mi Hayos, AEs't, Secty. of Agriculture of the United States says about Stock Foodi
"These balanced rations are often found by analysis to consist of the tailings of mills, elevators and
breweries, mixed, with molasses and salt, to make the compound palatable to the cattle, and one of
the largest Stock Food Companies is said to use fine sawdust, finely ground, to cheaply bring up the
weight of bis product, instead of buying a superior and expensive balanced ration containing high
fattening qualities and acting as a tonic, he has paid a high price for a feed containing, along with
ordinary grain, finely ground alfalfa hay and other common food stuffs, $5.00 to $25.00 per ton, a high
percentage of refuse, and non-nutritious matter, some of which may be positively dangerous to
the health of his stock."
Make your own stock foods and remedies by using Skldoo Horso and Cattlo Tab lots for
horses, cattle, sheep, swine and fowls; proper dose in tablets. Mix in feed or salt. They contain
no sawdust, ashes, chopped feed or bran. Ask for and try once Skfdoo Condition Tablots or
