Conkey's Stock Tonic 



Formerly called Conkey's Stock Vigor 



First and most important of all Conkey prepara- 

 tions for internal treatment is this one best general 

 conditioner for livestock, Conkey's Stock Tonic. 



This is not a food but a medicine. It does not even 

 contain any filler, but is all medicine. You mix it in 

 spoonfuls or less with your regular feed from your own 

 feed bins. This makes your own stock food, at home 

 prices. All you pay for in the package is medicine, all 

 specific tonic for HORSE, DAIRY or BEEF cattle, 

 SHEEP and HOGS. This tonic will condition your 

 stock, make them healthy and vigorous and enable them 

 to do more for you. It is tonic, alterative treatment, 

 improves the appetite, insures full digestion, keeps the 

 system open; keeps the animals worm-free. 



There are two uses for Conkey's Stock Tonic: 

 When any animal is run down, off feed, listless, do- 

 less, not thriving in spite of feed and care, debilitated from some disease, 

 then use Conkey's Stock Tonic, in small doses according to directions to 

 bring the animal back to health. Or, for all stock under strain of special 

 production, such as DAIRY COWS that are heavy feeders and milkers; 

 "FEEDERS," whether CATTLE, SHEEP or SWINE, that are being fat- 

 tened and finished off for the butcher, all brood mares, freshening cows, 

 ewes, sows; all stud animals under heavy service; in fact for ALL LIVE- 

 STOCK, use Conkey's Stock Tonic to ease the strain of heavy production 

 and keep the animals fine and fit. 



The whole point is this: Livestock to be profitable MUST be kept under 

 unnatural conditions. They MUST be given expensive feed, expensive care, 

 and in general they MUST be under-exercised and rather over-fed in order 

 to push them to the limit of healthful production and show good profit. 

 Every animal, to be profitable, must show in the SHORTEST POSSIBLE 

 TIME the MOST POSSIBLE MARKETABLE PRODUCT. 



Now: The more feed you get into your cattle and swine, without 

 upsetting their appetites, the MORE MONEY you get out of them. Now, 

 again: No use to feed unless the stock can do their part and turn each 

 pound (over and above what is called a maintenance ration) into some 

 product that will mean YOUR PROFIT. Nature would keep digestion per- 

 fect so long as you feed moderately well and exercise a plenty but Na- 

 ture's way won't make money for you. It is what you feed over and above 

 "natural appetite" that MAKES MONEY for you. Your problem is this: 

 How to feed for profit and yet not upset natural functions and run the 

 risk of loss from disease. 



Remember that PROFIT in livestock means a short life but a PRO- 

 DUCTIVE one. Keep in mind the fact that in Holland, the home of the 

 Holsteins, these cows are not allowed to live beyond eight vigorous, produc- 

 tive years. Scientific managers crowd each animal along, push to the limit, 

 feed amazingly but milk accordingly and after this short term of years finish 

 each record-breaker off for the butcher and spend their valuable time on 

 younger stock. This is simply business management applied to livestock. 



The difference between profit and loss is mostly a matter of feeding. 

 The less an animal eats the less it can earn for you. The more it eats the 

 more surplus it can turn into profit provided it digests all it eats and gets 

 the full value out of the feed. When you feed heavily for heavy production 

 you simply must give your animals help of some sort, or you are sure to 

 have a heap of trouble with indigestion. We have explained how a large
