CRYS-CO GRIT AND SHELL PRODUCER 
Hens need lime and, grit : in addition to other feed to make them lay more and be healthy. 
v Fowls, having no teeth, require a hard, sharp substance, cubical in form, to grind their food, to further 
digestion, and the lime is necessary to form the egg shells. 
In no product are these two elements so well combined as in CRYS-CO, as it is petrified shells con- 
taining 99 % Pure Carbonate of Lime and hard, sharp silicate grit. 
The fact that these shells have been crystalized or petrified by nature makes them far superior to the 
ordinary present day shells and grit on the market for the purpose. 
.Crys-co grinds perfectly, as it is hard and sharp, cubical in form, and it grinds (not crumbles), into a 
lime powder 99% pure, with no waste. This cannot be said of ordinary shells and grit as the droppings 
will prove. 
Crys-co is therefore the most economical product on the market, going half again as far and virtually 
costing no more. You have been buying shells all these years to get the lime, being the only medium 
at hand. In Crys-co you get 99 % Pure Carbonate of Lime and the grit thrown in. It is therefore the ideal 
combination for the chicken, and if you are looking for economical and better results you must feed Crys-co.

Oil Cake Meal 
Oil Cake Meal is the most valuable and useful by-products of the farm. It is not only very rich in 
protein but is a safe and palatable food. When fed judiciously there is no class of animals kept on the 
farm to which it may not be fed with profit for a shorter or longer period. It is much relished by all classes 
of domestic animals, and is, to some extent, an appetizer as well as a food. Being mildly laxative it exer- 
cises a salutary influence on the digestive organs. There is no kind of concentrated foods or grain with 
which it cannot be combined. To all kinds of growing animals it may be fed with much benefit in the winter, 
along with grain and other meal. It may form as much as 10 per cent_of the concentrated feed. It is also 
very helpful for cattle that are finished on pasture. 
As a food for milch cows Oil Cake Meal, to a certain limit, is most satisfactory; though it should not 
exceed 3 to 3}4 pounds daily. It not only increases the quantity of milk; but will also increase the amount 
of butter fat. The amount of digestive protein in oil cake meal compared with other grain foods is from 
2*4 to 3 times larger. 
OIL CAKE MEAL or GROUND OIL CAKE, as it is very often called, is the by-product of flax seed 
after the oil has been extracted. It contains 27.3 protein and 48.5 carbohydrate per 100 pounds. The 
nutritive ratio is 1:1.7. 
In fattening all kinds of animals for the market a certain amount of Oil Cake Meal or Flax Seed Meal 
should be fed the last 3 or 4 weeks of the fattening period, as their use will not only add weight, but im- 
prove greatly the general appearance. 
For milk-producing should be fed in equal parts of oil meal to either bran or shorts. Should be 
mixed and soaked twelve hours before feeding. At night and morning feeding, corn meal should be used 
with the oil meal when butter is the object. Thin when feeding at dinner, with cold water. Feed cattle and 
hogs three to four quarts per day; calves one to two quarts; horses two to three quarts. To poultrymen 
it is likewise of value in keeping fowls in good health. ................... . Present prices, see Pink List
