READ WHAT HE SAYS 
ABOUT STOCK FEEDS AND STOCK FEEDING 
\ _ y / 
If you know Prof. Shaw you know whatever he says on any 
agricultural topic is strictly dependable —the highest authority 
you can obtain. You know that what he says is the result of ripe, 
practical experience and that he knows whereof he speaks. 
Because of this high standing and absolute reliability he 
has become the recognized live stock authority among the farmers 
of this country. They have found his teachings unusually valua¬ 
ble and profitable. They look to him for advice because they 
want the actual, the real, the practical kind that will help them 
derive better results at a lower expenditure of time, money and 
labor. They have found what he says is so—that he is a safe 
guide, a true guide, a sure guide to follow. No wonder he is a 
busy man. No wonder the farmers regard what SHAW says as 
good as law. 
On the subject of feeds and feeding here is some plain, prac¬ 
tical talk by Prof. Shaw. Every farmer will do well to cut out 
this page and tack it up in his feed barn. Put it where you can 
follow his teachings literally—word for word—because you can 
not get any advice to equal this on this important topic. He says: 
1st —“A mixed feed of grains, corn, oats and barley, (ground 
and properly balanced, that is, the right quantities of each to pro¬ 
duce a feed that contains the proper nutritive elements—protein, 
carbohydrates and fat) will give better results and for a longer 
period than any one grain of equal or similar nutritive character. 
The reason is plain. They form a feed that supplies power, en¬ 
ergy, heat, life, flesh and fat in the correct form from which the 
animal derives the greatest benefit. Again stock will not tire of 
a mixed ration and hence relish it better. 
2nd —“A mixed grain feed of corn, oats and barley fed for 
meat or milk production in ground form, mixed with fodder or 
ensilage will effect a saving of 20 per cent in feed over the usual 
method of feeding whole grain, besides producing far greater 
returns in milk and meat. 
3rd —“No single grain furnishes a perfectly balanced ration 
for farm stock. 
4th —“Corn, oats and barley, properly blended —that is, bal¬ 
anced as regards nutritive value, make an ideal grain ration for 
horses, cattle, sheep and swine, in fact, one that cannot be easily 
surpassed. 
5th— ‘ ‘Outside the corn belt a mixed ration of ground corn, 
oats and barley, and sometimes bran, should be a standard grain 
ration for meat and milk production and also for heavy farm 
horses. 
6th —“Corn, oats and barley in a properly balanced ground 
ration forms a feed that furnishes the work horse with flesh, 
fibre and muscle making tissue, enabling him to stand hard work 
and maintain good life and flesh.” 
We quote Professor Shaw because he is widely known as 
an educator. He has devoted nearly fifty years of his life to 
scientific feeding experiments, the results of which have saved 
our farmers many millions of dollars. Our own feed experts 
have worked along similar lines, and we have produced a feed 
such as Professor Shaw recommends. 
Schumacher Stock Feed 
THE PERFECT GRAIN RATION FOR ALL FARM STOCK 
It is a perfectly balanced ration of corn, oats and barley products — the 
same grains that Professor Shaw suggests. In the preparation of this well- 
known feed we have been governed, not by theories, but by the hard-headed 
results of every-day feeding. We have watched the effect upon horses 
in daily use on the farm, on the road, in the lumber camps, everywhere. 
We have noted the results in the cattle pens, in the dairy, in the sheep 
sheds, in the hog pens, and blended this combination of grains so as to pro¬ 
duce the greatest results. The enormous sale and the popular endorsements 
of Schumacher Stock Feed by prominent farmers and feeders prove it meets 
ihe needs of all farm stock in every particular. 
There are many reasons for this and Professor Shaw has touched 
upon the more important ones. It furnishes feed variety — that means 
stock will relish it better and lick up the last morsel. They will always 
be ready for more, which means they will never be “off-feed.” It fur¬ 
nishes the proper elements of nutrition in the proper amounts for making 
flesh and muscle — strength; for making fat—heat; for making energy 
life; for putting the bodily organism into the best condition to produce 
more milk, more meat and more power at lowest cost. 
Haphazard feeding, that is, throwing whole corn, oats, etc., into the 
feed box, is like throwing money away. Stop it. You can t afford to 
feed that way. You will find it is big economy to sell your whole gram 
and begin feeding Schumacher Stock Feed. Why? Because being prop¬ 
erly balanced and finely ground it will produce more work from your horses, 
more meat and more milk from your cattle, more mutton and pork from 
your sheep and hogs at a lower cost. It does this because it is a ration 
which meets the animals’ needs. That’s why they thrive on it so well. 
A fair trial of Schumacher Stock Feed will convince every farmer 
that it is the feed to feed for any need for any breed. It is thoroughly 
dried in ovens and all moisture taken out so that you get every ounce 
of nutritive food you pay for. 
TO DAIRYMEN 
ration of Schumacher Stock Feed, 
ty fed with any other grain basis 
The dairyman who feeds as a part of his ration, high 
protein concentrates at today’s high prices, can 
positively secure equal results by adding one handful 
of cottonseed meal, oilmeal, gluten meal, etc., to each 
The combination being equal to three times the quanti- 
The reason for this is the perfect balance, the high 
carbohydrate "content and the perfect digestibility. Cows can be forced to the highest 
milk production at the least possible cost with great benefit to their physical condition.
