Thousands of keen, hard-headed, successful dairymen, who have tried most of the other foods, tell us that, no calt fond gives .such good results as "CEREMILK." A well-balanced ration, it is easily digested,-' highly nutritious, anu t'lio calves take easily to it. No waste—no deposit at the bottom of the bucket—easy to prepare—freshness and purity guaranteed. Mr. George Thompson, tho well-known farmer of - Station : Koad, I'apatoetoe, writes: "I have used 'CERV MTLK' for raising pedigree stock. After experience, of other foods 'on the market, I am confident there is nothing to equal 'CEREMILK/'" Try "CEREMILK"—equaI to whole milk in nutriment. • At all stores- and factories.
