This is to certify that I have used English Stock Food, manufactured -by C. Lutz, for calves, milch cows eand young pigs, and in all cases have foliiid it most satisfactory. The calves have grown faster and done better than ever before; the milch cows have improved in condition. The flow of milk has in- creased. 20 per cent and is of greater richness; the young pigs have done better on English Stock Food than I ever knew them to do before. English Stock Food is a most excellent and val- uable article, and should be used by all stock raisers. It only requires to be given a trial in order to prove its merits. It is cheap es compared. with other stock food. • I have much pleas- ure in recommending it to stock. rais- ers. ABRAICAM DEARING. For sale by C. Lutz. Price 50c.
