To Dairymen and Farmers. Cows will give more and richer milk, with less feed. Pneumonia, coughs and common disorders prevented by Pratt’s Food. I had a cow that caught a hard cold last spring. It did not eat for four days and became very weak. I began giving Pratt’s Food in double doses. It began to improve, and before the first bag of food was used up, was giving the usual quantity of milk. Have used it since, with equally good results. Every one who owns a cow should have it. FRANK H. COE. KILBOURN HOUSE STABLES, Jan. I1, 1889. I have used Pratt’s Food for Horses for over two years, and would not be without it in my stable. GEORGE LEE, Proprietor. MIDDLETOWN, CONN., Jan. 21, 1890. Pratt’s Food is the best food for cows I ever used ; much cheaper. and better than cotton seed meal. I have been feeding cotton seed meal with wheat feed, but dropped the cotton seed and tried Pratt’s Food and wheat feed. The flow of milk increased at once. I then dropped the Pratt’s Food and went back to the cotton seed meal, and the flow of milk at once fell away. Shall use Pratt’s Food altogether in the future, for it pays big to use it.

NOTICE: RUST’S EGG PRODUCER is supe- rior to any other Egg Food for preventing and curing diseases; but we are confident that there is only one real cure for Gapes and Fowl Cholera, and that is our Py: eee HAVENS’ CLIMAX CONDITION POWDER. It produces eggs without exhaustion, in the same way that certain foods produce more milk without weakening the cow, or that fertilizers increase crops without impoverishing the soil. It makes hens lay in summer and winter. Equally useful for turkeys, ducks, geese and hens; in short, it is just what is wanted to make egg producing and fowl raising one of the most profitable of pursuits.

He would eat double rations, and then eat up his bedding. Still kept getting thin. Four packages of Climax Condition Powders cured him after everything else failed. He eats only a common amount of food and looks better now than ever before. Havens’ Climax Powders are the best I ever used. H. H. PARKER, Bow Lane. “MIDDLETOWN, January 1, 1889. I had one horse last spring hide-bound and all run down with worms, though he ate voraciously. Havens’ Climax Powders were recommended. I used six pounds, and completely cured him. I give this testimony gladly for the benefit of suffering animals. — CHARLES C. CAMP. FOWL-CHOLERA BGAPES I have used Havens’ Climax Condition Powders for the past year with good results. JI had at one time a very bad case of Distemper. One of my white Leghorn roosters could not eat or roost, and I thought him a hopeless case. I gave him three doses of Havens’ Climax in hot water according to directions, and the next morning I was surprised to see him come up and eat with the rest of the fowls.. I have had no trouble with him since. I consider Havens’ Climax the best regulator in the market, and I have tried many. I recommend it to all keeping fowls. J. L. FOSTER, Farm Hill Poultry Yards, Middletown. TURKEYS MIDDLETOWN, Jan. 12, 1889. I lost thirty laying hens, and would have lost 200 but for Havens’ Climax Powders. It was worth $50 tome.
