S . iii Frartical Farmer. 1 am many times astonished t< ; see farmers of good sense so easih duped its they are. They will btr so many without any regard what they cost, or what they an composed of. I have 111 mind nov some of tint conditnental foodi that are placed on tht* market fo the feeding of animals. A fev days ago an agent called upon m< as a veterinarian and wished nu to give him a testimonial for s particular loo.I anil medicine corn tuned, that lie was selling, to mi> with the grain that \va t ed to an irnals. 1! . claim was, that wliei one pound of his food was ini.\o< in twenty pounds of corn mea and led to one horse in the team i ha' a marked change would h< n diced hy the he!? *r condition o the on that V as fed hi> food v. Inch sta5 meat >. a no (lout) fru >. I frankly informed him that it was not my ha'oit to rce ommend invthiny without tryim it, or knowiiiu of what i t was corn po- d. The formula -ioit -1 witl |0I) !hs, I 1 i: 5 end oil ileal, nhoti .*? lbs. of m ntian, some cnijjcr, . little golden seal and fonnyrock seed, all of them harmless am good enough to use as inedicin* when needed. So I had no fault to tirul on that line, lint what die } this cost the farmer who hough it? In 10.pound lots, 12 centper lh. lint if ho would take lot j pounds, would be tin* price i Now, brother farmer, all then was in it thai amounted to anything at all was the linseed oi meal. The whole 100 lbs. would cost not over .*1. '!<), allowing that the linseed oil meal was fresh am good. Kvery farmer in the lam who takes an agricultural papei knows that linseed oil meal, heinf rich in protein, will balance up corn meal and make it digest bet tor; in short, supplv what tin corn meal lacks. While the food that tho agent offered is practi cally all that was claimed for it ' wherein is the sense in the farmer p lying spS for what $ 1.50 wi 11 buy ; I yet that agent sells lots of it to | farmers all over the land, and ' they are loud in its praise. They little realize that. they were lleeeed all the same. The differ eneo between the price that they paid for an hundred pounds and what they might have bought the same for, would have paid the ' i subscription price of any five agricultural papers in the land and i bought their dinner, if they had attended to the Farmers' Institute > hen it was held in their eounty last Winter.
