( There is the best feed cooker oh the market 
No Cooker offers a single real advantage which the “ Heesen” lacks. 
It is the simplest, never out of order, and lasts for generations. It is 
quickest in heating, holds fire longest, is most economical of fuel, and 
burns anything. Wood or coal. 
THE HEESEN FEED COOKER 
is Guaranteed Full Measure. We don’t stamp 50 gallon size “70 
gallons." The “ heesen ” will save one-third purchase money, and all 
cost of repairs. Seven sizes—15 to 70 gals. Money back if not satis¬
