W?t Buckeye Hulls carry the feed perfectly Rough AGE is of little val ue if it allows the concen trated foods to sift to the bot tom of the trough and be come separated from it. There is no danger of tw? with COTTONSEED HULLS LINTLKS5 when they are wetted down a half hour or so before using. Then they combine more thoroughly and uni formly with the oth^r forage than the old style hulls. ^Use Buckeye Hulls properly and you will find them a better roughage than old style hulls and far more eco nomical. < > Other Advantages, Buckeye Hulls cost much less than old style hulls. They allow better assimilation of food. No trash or dust. Hnt. 2000 pounds real roughage to tho ton?not 1500 pounds of rough age and 500 pounds of lint. Sacked?easy tQ handle. Take less space m lite barn. Mr. ?, W. Leonard, Ellendalf, Term., ^ has been feeding Buckeye Hulls to three milch cowt. He says that the cows are giving more milk and butter and are in fine condition. He prefers Buckeye Hulls. To secure the best results and to develop the ensilage odor, wet the hull* thoroughly twelve hours be form feeding. It1 is easy to do this by witting them down night and moraine for the next feeding. If at any time this cannot be done, wet dowp at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to feed the hulls dry, use only half ss much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feed* Free / Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fat tening, for work.
