WHAT IS A CALF WORTH J

Each succeeding season sees more calves raised on Ceremilk — and healthy sturdy calves'they are! Ceremilk is the best calf food—it contains those necessary bone and flesh-building elements which are lacking in skim milk. It is also far superior to pollard, rice meal, linseed meal and molasses—it is a htl-' anced food that nourishes but does not scour. Rear your calves on Ceremilk—and rear them all to be well conditioned, profitable animals. Ceremilk is sold in 2001 b 1001 b. 501 b and 25i!> bags at stores and factories.
