] For your country estate it is business folly to 
provide expensive buildings, land and labor for 
unprofitable cows. Registered purebred Holstein- 
? ! Friesian cows show a generous profit in the wise use of 
I'l time, money and labor, and a good individual will, in 
[J addition to producing a valuable calf each year, show 
;i a net annual profit of from S6o to $ioo. Further- 
I, more, her size and superior quality of flesh count,

Why hens 
never lay half an eg^! 
The usual method of feeding mostly grain, makes yolks but not enough whites to complele the eggs. As the 
hen cannot lay these /io//-made eggs, she absorbs them back into her system. Missouri Experiment Station 
tests showed that 100 lbs. of wheat, corn, oats, barley and kafhr corn make (above bodily maintenance) an 
average of 224 yolks but only / 54 whites. Based on data from the same experiments, Purina formulas produce, 
(above bodily maintenance) as follows: 
Purina Scratch Feed 247.49 yolks 142.11 whites 
Purina Chicken Chowder 182.05 “ 282.55 “ 
Combined Ration 429.54 yolks 424.66 whites 
Note the perfect balance of yolks and whites and the large number of each. This combination of Purina Feeds makes the maxi- 
mum number of complete eggs, eggs a hen will lay. That’s why 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
