Parkham, Greenville, Ga., says: "I feed about fifty cows and calves and use Buckeye Hulls ' very successfully. I consider Buckeye Hulls as good feed and cheaper feed than the old style hulls." Feed Buckeye Hulls thoroughly wet for the best results. If feeding dry, use half as nrach by bulk as of old style hulls.
