It takes an animal from seven to 
ten hours to diges*- whole corn or 
oats. Test feeds made at Michigan 
Agricultural College, with six cows 
for seven days, showed that 26.46% 
of whole com and oats fed was lost 
—not digested. Other tests have 
shown a loss of 40% and even 50%, 
according to the condition of the 
grain and the animeil. 
Can you afford to waste a 
peck or more out of every 
bushel of grain you feed?

Sucrene feeds offer patriotic 
stock feeders the opportunity to heed 
the world’s cry for more food, and do 
their part to prevent the waste of whole 
grain in stock feeding. 
Sucrene Feeds are more easily and more 
completely digested than whole grain, be¬ 
cause they are composed of a variety of grains 
and grain-products ground to proper fineness 
for easy assimilation. The variety of nutrients 
they contain, correctly proportioned, meets 
every need of the animal for increased pro¬ 
ductiveness and body maintenance. 
Every dollar you invest in Sucrene Feeds 
comes back to you with big interest added. 
Every day’s ration produces adequate results 
veal or poultry products. 
Sucrene Dairy Feed Kve way?®^ 
It brings up the milk yield. Cuts down the feed bill. Keeps cows in 
better health. Saves you trouble and expense of mixing—saves your grain. 
Sucrene Dairy Feed is composed of molasses, cottonseed meal, corn gluten 
feed, ground and bolted grain screenings, clipped oat by-product, distillers’ 
dried grains and solubles, palm kernel meal, calcium carbonate, and a little salt. 
Guaranteed analysis: I6J% protein, 3^% fat, 46% carbohydrates, 14% fibre. 
All Cows Crave Sucrene Dairy Feed 
because k is sweet smelling, palatable, soothing to their digestive systems—keeps them in better 
health and spirits. Although molasses is but one of the eight nutrients in Sucrene Dairy Feed, it 
is a very important one. Prof. H. J. Patterson of Pennsylvania State Agricultural College, says 
in Bulletin No. 117: Feeding tests show that the addition of molasses to a ration has a tendency 
to increase the digestibility of both grain and hay.” 
All Sucrene Feeds are rigidly tested in our own ^ 
laboratories and experimental farms. We know a 
them to be result producers and back them with a J 
positive guarantee of quality. ■ 
Order a ton of Sucrene Dairy Feed from your S 
dealer at once. If he does not handle it write us J

Flush Out the Cow After Calving 
Thorough irrigation of the uterus and vaginal tract with a reliable antiseptic, once or twice 
after a cow drops her calf, will give you the greatest insurance you can have against Barren¬ 
ness, Abortion, Retained After-birth, etc. 
B-K is more effective than lysol, carbolic acid, Lugol’s solution and oily eoal-tar disinfect 
ants, wliich all make the uterus more acid, .and do not clean. B-K heals tlio uterus and vagina 
by cleaning and removing the slime and acid. It kills the germs because it is much more pow¬ 
erful. The application of B-K as a douche la simplicity itself. 
If your dealer'does not have B-K—send us his name.
