Holsteins Proven 
Money Makers 
For the man who desires to place his herd upon a 
profitable business basis, there is abundant proof 
of the superiority of purebred Holsteins as 
money makers. They have led all breeds in the 
total amount of milk and butter produced in a year, 
and also in net profit. They are adaptable to all 
climates, they are large, their calves are easily raised, 
and they have exceptional ability to consume and 
assimilate roughage and transmute it into milk. 
Purebred Holsteins are the best for the man who is 
determined to apply sound judgment to his dairj'ing 
operations.

The Shingles and Timbering 
of this beautiful Old-Engllsh residence are 
colored and preserved with 
Cabot’s Creosote Stains 
The shingles are warmer than English tiles and 
the coloring is much softer and richer, owing to 
the texture of the wood and the deep velvety 
tints of the stains. The stained timbers, in old 
smoky browns and dark grays that bring out the 
grain, harmonize perfectly and weather outbeau- 
tifully. Cabot’s Stains are artistic, inexpensive, 
lasting, and the Creosote preserves the wood. 
Y 9u can Cabot's Stains all over the country. Send

The feed elements that make whites of eggs 
are entirely different from those that make 
yoll(s. When hens aren’t fed both the white 
and yolli making elements, they can’t lay. 
Missouri Elxperiment Station tests prove 
that 1 00 lbs. of wheat, corn, oats, barley and 
kaffir corn make (above bodily maintenance) an 
average of 224 yolks to 1 54 whites. Based on data 
from the same experiments, Purina formulas pro- 
duce (above bodily maintenance), as follows: — 
Purina Scratch Feed 247.49 yolks 142.11 whites 
Purina Chicken Chowder 1 82.05 “ 282.55 “ 
Combined Ration 429.54 yolks 424.66 whites 
These Purina feeds not only make a practically equal number of whites and yolks but 
more of both than ordinary feeds. 
Note that Purina Chicken Chowder contains the necessary white-forming elements to balance 
up the yolk-making grain ration. That’s why it makes hens lay so heavily. Instead of the 
yolks being absorbed by the hen’s system, Purina Chicken Chowder makes the whites to 
complete the eggs and they are laid. Thus we can absolutely guarantee 
more eggs or money back 
on Purina Chicken Chowder if fed with 
Purina Scratch Feed as directed. You take 
no risk. Write today for further information
