PROFI
The matter of feed is of
tremendous importance to the
farmer. • Wrong feeding is
loss. Right feeding is profit.
The up-to-date farmer knows'
what to feed hiscows to get
the most milk, his pigs to get
•
the most -pork, his hens to
• .
get the most eggs. Science..
But how about the children ?.
Are they fed according to
science, a bone food if bones
are soft and undeveloped, a
flesh and mtisele food if they
are thin `and weak and a blood
food if there is anemia? •
Scott's Emulsion is a mixed
food; the Cod Liver Oil in it
makes flesh, blood and nutscle,
the Lime and Soda make bone
and brain. It is the standard
scientific food for • delicate
children.
