Fred Styer Managing Director A Better Roitghp&e for Less Money Mr. Wesley Johnson, Aiken, S. C.; feeds Buckeye Hulls to his milch cows and says that, he prefers them to any hulls he has ever used. He believes, that they are cheaper and better. That is the whole story o COTTONSEED W f H U ILLS N UNTkSSS in two words Cheaper Better. It is rar that the best product of its kind is the cheapest or that the cheapest is the best but this is certainly true of Buckeye Hulls. Removing the lint not only eliminates all the objectionable features of old styhthulls but makes it possible to sell the delinted hulls at the lowest figure for which roughage can be bought. If you want the best roughage you saust buy the cheapest Buckeye-Hulls. If you buy the cheapest roughage Buckeye Hulls you will jget the best. T secure the vest results and to dcvelsf the ensilage odor, wet the hulls thoroughly twelve hour be fere' feeding. It is easy to d this by wetting thess daws night and rasrnmg for thDext feeding. If at any tine this cannot be done, wet down aft least thirty minutes. If jaa prefer to feed the hulls dry, use Only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls. Book of Mixed Feeds Free Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South.. Tells how much to feed for maintenance, formilk, for fattening, for work.
