THE Sherwin-Williams Co., Cleveland, 0.: Am enclosing photograph of Bloomingdale Hengerveld 
Ormsby, No. 88658. This young cow made last winter as a Jr. 3 yr. old 31.46 lbs. butter in 7 days and 
127.82 lbs. butter in 30 days, her milk averaging 4.88% butter fat during test. She holds the world’s Jr. 
3 yr. old record. I also enclose photo of Bloomingdale Hengerveld Ondinc, No. 84328, who made as a 
2 yr. old 19.10 lbs. butter in 7 days, as a 3 yr. old 25.31 lbs., as a 4 yr. old 26.57 lbs. and 107.86 lbs. in 
30 days, her milk averaging 3.94% butter fat. These cows were fed during these tests on a grain ration 
part of which was Sherwin-Williams Linseed Meal, which we have used for several years and find it not 
only to be an excellent quality of meal, but a very good addition to any ration. In fact, we are using 
it right along in our herd. A. A. Cortelyou, Somerville, N. J. 
The Sherwin-Williams Co., Cleveland, O.; We enclose photograph of the Imported Jap, No.75265, in 
his 5 year old form. Another photograph is of St. Lambert’s Riotress, a much more than ordinary 
cow. She was 17 years old on the 9th of July last, and in her 17 year old form made a record of 7328 lbs. 
of milk and 482 lbs., 13 oz. of butter. The price of your meal is 60 cts. higher than the market quota¬ 
tion for other Linseed Meal, but believe it is worth the difference. You may ship us a carload at once. 
All our calves eat ground oats and Linseed Meal.

Correct Feeding 
will make your stock produce more 
TT is possible for you to raise stock that will command the highest market prices. 
Healthy cattle are always producers. Correct feeding must supply in the right 
quantities the food elements which build flesh, enrich the blood, strengthen the 
bones and aid the animal organism to perform all its functions regularly and with 
the least expense of energy. The deficiencies of home-grown feeds must be over¬ 
come in concentrated form. The food having the highest percentage of protein and 
fat and the lowest proportion of fibre will most nearly approximate the ideal standard.

has made some remarkable records under the scientific tests of leading state 
experimental stations. The facts they have established have been confirmed 
in practice by many of the best known and most successful dairymen and 
breeders. The results of tests made by the State Boards of Agriculture of 
Ohio, Indiana and Pennsylvania are shown in the following table. Note 
the exceptionally high proportion of nutrients and the low proportion of 
fibrous matter found and draw your own conclusions :

To all those intelligently interested in the scientific analysis of feed stuffs 
and its important bearing upon economical and productive cattle raising 
these figures will demonstrate conclusively the rich feeding qualities of 
Sherwin-William Linseed Meal. Compare these figures with those claimed 
by the manufacturers of other grain feeds and let your good judgement de¬ 
cide on its merits the feed which will insure the utmost efficiency and 
milk-producing ability in your own stock. Whether you have one ani¬ 
mal or a thousand the effect is the same. The feed that produces the 
most healthy condition is the feed you want. 
An Interesting Comparison 
There are many who believe that other feeding systems are equally as effi¬ 
cient as Linseed Meal. There are others who are influenced by the lower 
prices of other feeds and cannot see that the difference in price can be 
made up by what they believe to be only a slight difference in their com¬ 
parative feeding values. If you are one of these, you will find the follow¬ 
ing table interesting n many ways. It is taken from the report of the 
Ohio State Board of Agriculture for 1910 and is for the purpose of showing

the comparative average proportions of nutrients and fibrous matter (waste) 
of the more commonly used feeds. Remember, these are unbiased, official 
figures. 
Next compare the figures on the average standard of Linseed Meal 
shown below with those in the opposite table and note how far Sherwin- 
Williams Linseed Meal excels the average standard. Then you will un¬ 
derstand why many of the best feeders in the country prefer S-W Meal to 
any other brand.

Why S-W Linseed Meal Excels 
The best quality of Linseed Oil for Paints and Varnishes is pressed from the seed at 
low temperature. This is known as the “Old Process” and is the way we crush the oil 
used in our Paints and Varnishes. It prevents the mucilaginous matter being pressed into 
the oil where it is a detriment and leaves it in the meal where it is a benefit. Instead of 
being dry and nbrous, S-W Linseed Meal is rich in nutrition and health-building qualities. 
One of the best indorsements we can offer is that of the famous breeders of Holland, 
who annually purchase hundreds of tons of S-W Meal Cake, paying a premium in prefer¬ 
ence to using the products of the European markets. The photographs and letters shown 
above are from well-known American dairymen and feeders who have grown enthusiastic 
over the results obtained with S-W Meal.
