HEALTHY INDIVIDUALS. 



To be successful in the breeding of cattle, and csi")eciall\- show cattle, much 

 attention should be given them in order to produce strong, robust, hcalth_\-, superior 

 individuals. In order to expect this, the calf from tlie moment that it drops should 

 receive proper care and such food as will be digested and assimilated so as not 

 to overtax the digestive organs. To avoid this, such ingredients should he added 

 to the feed as will aid digestion and assimilation, thus causing rapid development 

 of bone and muscle, and resulting in a perfect animal.

While the use of unadulterated Stock 1 onic is benehcial to j'our herd, you 

 can save money by making it yourself, and by dicing so you will also be sure of its 

 absolute purit\-. 



WHERE YOUR PROFITS GO. 



All the bulky portions of Stock Tonic are products of the farm. You raise 

 these products and sell them to your buyer ; he in turn sells them to the large grain 

 dealer at a profit. The large grain dealer sells to the buyers for the different mills 

 at a profit. In these mills your products are ground up, sold and shipped to the 

 Stock Tonic factories at a profit, where it is medicated, put up in packages and 

 pails and labeled Stock Tonic. It is then sold to the wholesaler at a profit. The 

 wholesaler sells to the retailer at a profit, and you buy from the retailer, paying 

 him a profit. You, being the consumer, must pay all these different profits, together 

 with all freight charges. These freight charges, wdiere the goods are shipped so 

 many times, amount to considerable, for each time that the goods change hands a 

 new freight charge is made and they are most all made for short hauls, and you 

 well know that a number of short haul charges amount to n'lore than one single 

 long haul. 



HOW TO SAVE YOUR PROFIT. 



You can save the middleman's profit and the freight charges from one dealer to 

 another on your products and back to the farm, by buying your ground fla.xseed 

 or ground oil cake, from your home dealer in such quantities as to assure you of 

 getting it at a reasonable price; or better still, buy or raise your own flaxseed and 

 grind it yourself if you have a mill; if not, have it ground at your nearest home 

 mill. You are then sure of getting the very best and purest ground flaxseed meal 

 that can be had. When ground flaxseed is too high priced, use ground oil cake or 

 you can use any kind of ground feed. By adding to this flaxseed meal or ground 

 oil cake such roots, barks, herbs and seeds as nature demands for stock, you have 

 a complete and perfect mixture in the form of a pure Stock Tonic. By feeding 

 this Stock Tonic to your cattle in small quantities with their regular feed you will 

 keep their digestive organs in good condition, so that they can thoroughly digest 

 and assimilate their feed, which will enable them to produce you a profit and also 

 to keep in a sleek, healthy condition. This, when fed to a milch cow, will cause 

 her to yield the richest and greatest flow of milk that it is possible for her to give. 



When given to beef cattle with proper feed it will enable them to obtain a 

 larger percentage of flesh and fat-forming elements from a certain amount of grain, 

 causing them to fatten quickly, thus shortening the feeding period and producing 

 the highest and best quality of beef possible to be produced. 



If you are in the breeding business, not only the prices which you can demand, 

 but also your sales depend upon the strong, robust and healthy appearance of your 

 stock. 



HOW TO MAKE YOUR OWN STOCK TONIC AT HOME. 



To prepare your own Stock Tonic at home, it is only necessary for you to have 

 the medical parts (such as powdered roots, barks, herbs and seeds), to mix with 

 the ground flaxseed or oil cake meal. These powders wc can furnish you at the 

 lowest cost and with a perfect guarantee of purity.
