Ayrshires should be selected as nearly pure blood as possible, whether buying for breeding or dairying. See that they have all the gentleness and good constitution of their breed. See that the eye is full and placid; tapering nose and clean nostrils; horns of medium size and fine texture, with an outward and upward turn and set wide apart. Get them with straight or nearly straight back, with long tail on level with it, and with small flat boned, clean cut limbs. This is superlatively a dairy breed, though they fatten well and fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener they "form" very readily and make some of the best of beef with a most desirable mixture of fat and lean. Fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener the Ayrshires are eagerly bought on the hoof, and highly prized by consumers. Their natural productiveness of large quanti- ties of milk, rich in butter and cheese forming elements, is greaty enhanced by the use of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, and in addition their calves are matured earlier and do well on skimmed milk and Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, thus again help- ing to turn over more rapidly the money in them. With such a cow the five or six hundred gal- lons of milk she gives in a year can easily be in- creased on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to seven or eight, or even nine, hundred gallons a year, and the 225 pounds of butter raised to 275 pounds or more.

It may come from some derangement or diseased condition in the cows, or it may be caused by some germ in the milk room. Sometimes it requires the very closest examination to discover the real cause. Separate the milk to see if it came from only one cow or the whole herd. If it is due to any derangement in the body of the animal Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will soon correct all disturbances and make the cow well again.

First Prize Hoist ein Cott — (Owned by Mr. John B. Irwin.) Hoan Marie Mechthilde (53732) won the first prize at the Minnesota State Fair, 1&02 and 1903. She is a most excellent specimen of the HOLSTEIN type. Her tests are: Butter, at 2 years of age, 14 lbs., 14 ozs., in 7 days; 522 6-100 in 12 mos. Milk, 12,594i4 lbs. in one year. _ She is owned by Mr. John B. Irwin, and is a good representative of his celebrated herd of Holsteins. Mr. Irwin is using Gold Coin Cattle Food. It is certainly the greatest Cattle Food ever invented. It is guar- anteed to make extra money for you. Write for some. HOLSTEIN-FRIESiANS CATTLE. We now come to an entirely different breed of cattle. The Holstein-Friesians were a pure breed of cattle herded by ancient barbarians on the Teu- tonic hills, and prized as the greatest riches of a once nomadic people. As early as 1625 these cattle were sent to America and long before that these great Holland Dutch cattle attained the same characteristics which mark them today. It is the oldest breed known. It is in this breed that Gold Coin Cattle Fattener proves of the greatest ' value. In their native surrounding these cattle find growing wild the herbs and roots nature designed to keep them in a healthy state. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener furnishes just these elements, and to the importer and breeder many disappointments must come when his stock stays poor and thin in spite of careful feeding. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener obviates all this difficulty and makes it possible to keep these cattle in their natural state of health and fatten them easily and quickly. These re- marks apply to fresh importations of cattle of any breed. The Holsteins are famous both as beef and dairy cattle. They have good digestive powers and when not using nutrition for milk, fatten nicely for the shambles. Try Gold Coin Cattle Fattener on your Holsteins. The improvement will surprise you— it saves twenty per cent of the feed, and keeps them free from disease. In buying Holsteins, get the color black with white patches; short neck; ears well back and projecting; full dark limpid eye; short fine horns; broad hips; straight back; flat over shoulders; long narrow head; long tail well haired at the tip and strong straight legs. With a good herd of this breed fed with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, any dairyman can make barrels of rnoney, as well as have the finest looking herd obtainable. oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo 8 $200.00 IN GASH PRIZES. 9 TO FARMERS AND STOCKMEN o FOR PHOTOGRAPHS OF STOCK AND POULTRY.

It is a money-maker for the farmer and dairyman. Anyone wishiner to purchase pure bred Holstein-Friesian Cattle will do well to correspond with Mr. Irwin. His cattle are well worth the monev. DEVON CATTLE. Great Britain has produced no better breed than this for oxen. They surpass any other breed. They are built for work, with powerful shoulders, back and leg muscles. They are quick on their feet, active, docile, intelligent and easily broken. At the same time their flesh has a richness and flavor that cannot be matched by any other beef in the world. They are handsome animals to look upon, and for this reason, are a favorite exhibition at fairs. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener puts gloss on the coat, a fire of vigor and health into these cattle, that makes them blue ribbon winners every time. They are as fat as the fat- test under Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, but it is not mere fat that judges decide upon in weighing the merits of contesting exhibits. Gold Coin Cat- tle Fattener adds those qualities to exhibition stock that makes them prize winners in every in- stance, providing the cattle are of the exhibition class to start with. In fattening for show don't fail to feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. In buying Devons you make no mistake if you want a good beef producer.

The West Highland cattle are of Scottish origin, and come from the Western Highlands. Few have been imported into America, because of their small size and rough, shaggy coats. They are, however, hardy and fed on Gold Coin Cattle ^ Fattener, some very good results have been se-*' cured with them both in the dairy and for beef. Like our own wild Texan cattle and most other wild breeds, they have very long, sharp horns, and an uncertain temper. DON'T CLASS OUR FOODS. "'^ Don't class our "Foods" with the many in- ferior preparations now on the market. Oiurs is composed entirely of high-grade ingredients.

The remarkable success of Gold Coin ) , Cattle Fattener is due to the fact that we havei 5 spared no expense in making this the leading^ Cattle Food for Cattle. We take pride in hear- f ing that it succeeds where others fail, and that Cattle raisers, too, are restocking with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in place of other brands, and are getting much more profitable results. Yon are losing money if yon are not feeding Gold Coin Stock- Foods. First Prize Jersey Bull. The above picture is of Fontains Eminent (58225), the prize winner Jersey of the Minnesota State Fair, 1903. He is owned by Mr. Rolla Oliver, Dearborne, Mo. As a perfect type of Jersey Bull this is an excellent specimen. Mr. Oliver is a user of Gold Coin Cattle Food. If you have Jerseys you should use it, too. It will increase the production of milk and butter-fats, and make you 15 to 25 per cent extra profits. Try it. All who are looking for an opportunity to buy pure bred Jersey cattle will find Mr. Oliver's among the very finest, and well worth the price. This spareness is not a sign of bad health in a Jersey, and her slightly depressed back, high rump and tail, flat ribs and small limbs give her the appearance of being what she really is — an ideal cow developed in this special direction at the expense of all other qualities. The famous richness and quantity of Jersey milk is greatly increased by Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and this food places the Jersey beyond all dispute at the top as the greatest butter pro- ducer in the world. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener saves grain and feed. JERSEY GATTLE. These are the most noted of the breeds from the three islands of Jersey, Guernsey, and Alder- ney which are ofif the French coast in the British Channel. On their native coast these breeds have been slowly developed through centuries and are kept pure in blood and never crossed by any other breed, though when imported into America all three breeds have been crossed with improve- ments in certain desired directions in special cases. However, it is the pure bred cattle that are famous and sought after and any crossing done is usually preferred to be done by fanciers for purposes of their own, and it must be confessed in most cases without particularly brilliant re- sults. Jerseys are still desirable as Jerseys, for the qualities that made them famous. Certainly there is no prettier animal anywhere than a pure bred Jersey fattened on Gold Coin Cattle Fat- tener. Robust in health, fat as can profitably be made; with small aristocratic head and gentle mild eyes; face charming in its winsomness; horns short, curving slightly inward; sensitiveness shown in skin wrinkling to slight touch and lively ears with fine silky hairs, she is a picture good to look upon. The pure bred Jersey has a peculiar fawn color, and when giving milk looks almost emaci- ated, as though all the animal forces were given up to feeding and filling the enormous udder. ALDERNEYS. The Alderneys are smaller and more delicately formed than the Jerseys. These two breeds are very much alike, however, both being emphatic- ally butter producers, though surpassed as cheese makers by some other breeds. The Alderneys take kindly to Gold Coin Cattle Fattener as do Jerseys and show the same remarkable increase both in quality and quantity of milk. You certainly will use Gold Coin Cattle Fat- tener if it will make money for you. If it don't make money for you it won't cost you a cent. Test it, and increase your profits.

This breed has replaced the Jerseys in the hearts of many fanciers. They are larger framed and give more milk. Though naturally the milk is not as rich as Jersey milk. A Guernsey cow fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will compare favorably with any Jersey in the richness and butter-making qualities of her milk. Guernseys are famous for being easily fattened oflf for beef after their usefulness for the dairy is over. The rivalry between Jersey, Alderney and Guernsey cows is fought with heat by various breeders, but any of them fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener will gain a quick advantage both in quantity of milk and butter, over all other breeds not fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. This has been tested. The characteristics of these cattle are too well known to need rehearsal in this place. A RELIABLE MILK PRODUCER.

It increases the flow of milk in such a large quantity that they make big increase in profits.

But to make the most out of a cow she must be properly fed — and it is as easy to feed properly in these advanced days of science, when you can simply put a little concen- trated powdered food in an animal's feed and almost double your profits. The scientific food -here referred to is "Gold Coin Cattle Fattener." The easiest money comes from the cow in the form of milk. Second, in the form of butter and cheese made from the milk. Third, the veal from the calves raised from the cow each year, and -fourth, the fattening and sale of the cow herself when her usefulness as a milker is gone. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener does wonders in improving the milk^t keeps it free from disease and taint, its health-giving ingredients impart to the milk a vigorous strengthening quality which makes it excellent for people and especially children. Small children, like little calves, raised on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener milk, gain in strength and vitality where they would fail on other milk. For this reason Gold Coin Cattle Fattener milk is in great demand in certain localities. Babies fed this milk gather strength and health, rosy cheeks and solid muscles — where on the other hand tainted, dis- eased, or tubercular milk might have injured their constitutions with sickness and sometimes even death following. Don't take such chances. Feed at, least one cow Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and get healthy milk for your own children so they will gather greater constitutional strength and COWS IN THE STALL GIVE AS GOOD AND AS MUCH MILK AS IN PASTURE. Feed your milch-cows Gold Coin Cattle Fat- tener regularly three times a day according to directions — give them plenty o£ water to drink and your cows will surprise you, even when standing in the barn. Prove this to your own satisfaction by testing it on a certain number of cows. We guarantee it to bring you paying re- sults. 10 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, CMcago. Hereford BalI-y queen Victoria. (Prize winner at tlie Chicago Fat Stock Show.) THE MILK-STRAIN A NEW FEATURE IN BREEDING THIS BEEF TYPE WITH THE IDEA OF MAKING IT A DUAL PURPOSE ANIMAL. Much success is to be hoped for along this line of breeding. In this age of high-priced meat, and high-priced butter, cheese and cream it can readily be seen that the "dual purpose cow" is the best for the general farmer. By the Milk-Strain Shorthorn is meant a class of Shorthorns, which by special selection, have been developed into good milkers. Thus making a cow that will sell at an excellent figure when her use as a milker is no longer needed. It is believed by the leading scientific breedters, and agricultural professors that the Milk-Strain Shorthorns make the most perfect "Dual Purpose Cow." If you are attempt- ing anything along this line, that is if you are trying to make some of your beef cattle become milkers as well, don't fail to make liberal use of Gold Coin Cattle Food, it will increase the pro- duction of milk if anything in the world will. You can't make money by sitting down and letting nature take its course — you have to scheme and plan — save 15 to 25 per cent in feed and 2 to 3 months' time on hogs and calves and a year on a steer.

Gentlemen: I have used your Horse Tonic with great success on four coach horses which I have in charge. The horses always go after their oats better when the "Horse Tonic" is in it. There is something in it which the horses like and which gives them much better energy and speed. One horse, which never had a good coat, is now becoming glossy and shiny, and is im- proving in every way. I notice in the droppings that the horses digest their oats and other feed better when given Gold Coin Horse Tonic. I have had charge of horses for such famous horse firms as the Pabst Stock Farm and the Hey- land Stock Farm, where Russian and German coach horses and trotting-bred stock were a spe- cialty, and can say from experience that Gold Coin Horse Tonic is far ahead of any stock food I have ever tried. Enclosed find order for another one hundred pounds (100 lbs.), and please ship it promptly as I am nearly out. I am a firm believer in good stack foods and am satisfied that coach and trot- ting horses are benefited by it, as well as working or farm horses. Signed— NORMAN POLK, Milwaukee, Wis.

The cow is almost the only animal that has, to give milk during the wearing period of preg- nancy (carrying the young). She has not only to give milk for the profit of her owner, but she has to supply nourishment to her unborn calf. What an immense amount of work is put upon the cow's digestive organs. Many cows are not able to stand this strain unaided. Thus, it will be seen that the cow needs a specially prepared medicinal food to fit her peculiar case; something that will cure all stomach disorders, give strength to the unborn calf and prepare the organs for the coming strain of calving and heavy milking. This is what Gold Coin Cattle Fattener does. It promotes digestion and formation of fat. As soon as a cow is with calf, the stomach takes on increased sensitiveness and is easily af- fected by foul odors. It is claimed that cows which are with calf in the same stable with the slinking cow, smell its discharge and sometimes they all abort or slink. We and many other veterinarians and agri- cultural scientists believe it is due to a germ, but whatever the cause may be, it matters little so long as a positive cure is known. If this trouble is already in your herd, you should at once feed two measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener twice a day to all that have aborted — the aborting or slinking usually happens at about 7 months, but even in cases where it has happened as early as 5 months. Gold" Coin Cattle Fattener has brought the animal up to a large yield of milk, besides putting her in the right condition to prevent slink next year. If your cows are suject to slinking, Gold Coin Cat- GOLD COIN CATTLE FATTENER The Dairyman's Friend.

It is as foolish to condemn and sacrifice a good cow because she has lost a calf, as it would" be to throw away a watch because it stopped. The cow must be cured and built up again. Feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, two measurefuls twice a day until she is in good condition, then feed her one measureful twice a day. All cows should be given Gold Coin Cattle Fattener twice a day. It aids digestion and increases the flow of milk. The milk is richer and the cow is kept in better condition for calving. Many dairymen claim that Gold Coin Cattle Fattener fed twice a day all the year around almost doubles the yield of milk. Write to us and test it yourself. BARRENNESS v^ --..lure to breed). The best cow ia the world is worth only hen price in beef if she will not breed. Barrenness is usually due to inflammation around the mouth of the womb. This may cause unnatural "heat" and will take the bull any time. Or it may be that she will not come in "heat?" Gold Coin Cattle Fattener contains three ingredients which ac^ directly on the procreative organ. It is foolish to waste time on a barren cow. Feed her Gold Coin Cattle Fattener regularly two measurefuls twice a day. If this does not cure her in a reasonable time the trouble is probably due to deformity of" the internal organs. In that case you had better feed her Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in large doses and get her as fat as possible and sell her for beef^ GOLD COIN CATTLE FATTENER The Great Feed-Saver. Saves half the time in cattle fattening. YoxL are losing money if you are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 39 CATTLE diseases-Continued. ''EVERY FARMER SHOULD KNOW RETAINED AFTER BIRTH (FAILURE TO "CLEAN"). Slinking and failure to "clean" all come from ' the same cause, that is, the weakness of the womb * and internal organs. Never resort to the inhuman method of tying a weight to the exposed portion of the after birth. Feed the cow 4 measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener three times a day. The cow should have been fed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener iifiall along before calving and this trouble would not have happened. It gets the female organs in perfect working order for calving. Her health is better and she is well prepared to start out on *her milking season. We guarantee that it will pay you to use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener in your whole herd all the year around. Use it for fattening your calves, steers and to make your cows give more milk and richer. You test it. ' j.If it fails, the price will be refunded. MILK FEVER. This terrible disease usually only comes after a cow has had 3 or 4 calves, and when it is full grown and becomes a great milker. If any of your cows have this dangerous trouble feed three measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener three times a day^ Always feed your cattle the Gold Coin Cattle Fattener jregularly and it will pre- vent this trouble at calving time. Gold Coin Cat- - tie Fattener costs so little, and besides is guaran- teed to bring paying results, that every farmer and dairyman should feed it with the regular diet twice a day.

Give three measurefuls of Gold Coin Cattle Fat- ._tener in soft feed three times a day and apply Gold Coin Cattle Healing Oil twice a day. The hard bunches will gradually soften and disappear. It pays to use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener all the year around and prevent all these diseases. Re- ^member any disease is a setback to a good ' milker.

SCOURING COWS. When this annoying trouble attacks your milk . cows it causes great loss of milk. If it is not checked the cows lose flesh and strength until they are hardly able to stand alone.

Remember it is what they digest, not what they eat, that makes bone, muscle and fat. Calves with scours cannot grow fast and develop strong internal organs for future milk production. If the trouble is neglected or checked by wrong methods you can be sure that calf will never make a perfect dairy cow. From the day they are born, calves should be fed a half measureful of Cattle Fattener twice a day in their milk, and when they are two weeks old, give them a measureful of the Fattener twice a day. The growth of these calves will astonish you. Their perfect digestion makes them grow almost twice as fast and their good health mates them sleek and pretty as a picture. The quick growing and easy fattening that can be done by the aid of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener makes veal raising very profitable. Write us and use Gold Coin Cat- tle Fattener as your calver. Test it on our Cash Guarantee. CONSUMPTION (TUBERCULOSIS). Consumption is more common in cattle than in any other animals. Consumption in cows, just as in people, is due to the consumption germ. There is low fever, scours, falling off in flesh and more or less cough. Every living creature breathes into its lungs, with every breath, thous- ands of these germs, and yet most escape this disease. The reason is simple enough. The con- sumption germ can only live when it gets into a body that is too weak and run down to resist' its growth. Many a cow is killed because she is simply run down. The case is not consumption at all, or only in the first curable stage. In the ad- vanced stage consumption cannot be cured and you are running a great risk in using the milk. As the prevention of consumption depends on good health and strength to resist the germs, this dread disease is easy to prevent. Keep the digestive system in good condition with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. Feed all run down cattle 2 measurefuls three times a day with their grain and soft feeds. It will build them up wonderfully and quickly. IT KEEPS CATTLE HEALTHY. TEXAS FEVER OR SPLENIC FEVER. It is due to a germ which enters the blood and breaks up the red corpuscles.

Use it freely in the quarters of the sick cattle every day. DYSPEPSIA, OR OFF FEED. The digestive organs of a good milker are worked to their utmost every day and night. No wonder good milkers often get "ofif-feed" unless they have some aid to their digestion. Give the cows that are "off-feed" three measurefuls twice a day of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener until well again. Can you see now that it pays to feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener regularly' ? Every day your cow is "off-feed" you lose money. But not only is Gold Coin Cattle Fattener guaranteed to prevent disease, it also makes food digestion and increases the milk yield.

A bull fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener during the breeding season will sire more and ^stronger calves. You should keep him particu- larly strong and vigorous during this critical time, and he will hand down to his calves stronger and more vigorous constitutions. If you once try it you will never again neglect to feed it to him any following season. If the bull and cow are both at the highest standard of health the calf "dropped" will naturally be larger, stronger and better than one born of parents not so healthy. The very best animals are those who have been well fed before they were born. Gold Coin Cat- tle Fattener fed to both the bull and cow at this particular time will show to great advantage when calving time comes. Try it on our CASH GUAR- ANTEE. LICE, TICKS.

Some claim that it is dangerous to wash sheep and that they are very likely to get their wool dirty anyway before it gets sheared off. SHEARING. Shearing should be done right. The wool should be sheared even and close, but not so close as to leave the skin naked and red. It pays to hire an expert shearer to do your shearing, as one who does not understand it will do your sheep more harm than the little extra expense of hiring the expert. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener purifies the blood and makes the constitution strong. WE WILL ALWAYS BE GLAD TO PRINT YOUR TESTIMONIALS. SEND THEM TO US BY MAIL.

SouthdoTW Ram — Svreepstake Winner Royal Stock Show, liOndon. SOUTHDOWN SHEEP. The Southdown is the great mutton producer. They lead all breeds for mutton, but they are not equally good wool producers. Therefore, of late, the Southdown are being displaced in some locations by breeds which are more equal in wool and mutton. The Southdown fatten at an early age and the excellence of Southdown mut- ton is known the world over. Raisers of Southdowns should not fail to use Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and see the change •it produces in the mutton. With its use the Southdowns become almost as good wool pro- ducers as any other breed. LEICESTER SHEEP.

If the ewes are fed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, once a day the milk will contain more nutrition and Fat (cream) and the lambs will grow very rapidly and have strong constitutions. The lambs should be castrated and docked between a week and two weeks old. Wean the lambs at three or four month old. At this time the lambs should be given some additional food. With their extra food mix about a half measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, once a day. Their rapid growth will astonish you. We guarantee this, because the Fattener aids the digestion of the food which their little stomachs are hardly able to do without some help. Any sheep-raiser can readily see for him- self that fine results must be- accomplished. The faster the lambs grow the quicker you are ready for market — which means better price, to say nothing of the 15 to 25 per cent of profits made in saving feed by the fattening in shorter time.

(Description, of breeds continued on next page) SHEEP FEEDING IN WINTER. The winter feeding is the great economic question in sheep raising. The expense of feed- ing during the long northern winters is high un- less done scientifically. Right here is where Gold Coin Cattle • Fattener can be fed at little cost and with enormous profits to the sheep raiser. It makes the sheep digest every particle of feed they get and put it into mutton and wool growth — no waste. It is supposed that the cold northern winter is favorable to excessive wool growth if the condition of the animals is kept good. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is sold on an absolute guarantee to keep animals in the highest state of health and growing condition and if it fails to bring increased profits, your money will be refunded. Our own experience with Gold Coin Cattle Fattener enables us to make this absolute guarantee. This Great Fattener is a medical food that contains the ele- ments made by nature which stimulate and create growth. This means abundance of mutton and wool. Remember, you are giving feed to get it converted into meat and wool. The feed is the great item of expense. Therefore, that is where a shrewd raiser will save 15 to 25 per cent by using the New Fattener. He is just that much ahead of his competitors who feed the old way. The sheep for fattening should be separated from the others and fed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener two or even three times a day. The grain should be wet up and a measureful of the Fattener given for each sheep, three times a day. The results will be astonishing. The floor from which you feed the sheep must be dry and clean. If you have any sick ones among your flock separate them and give a measureful of Gold Medal Condition Powders three times a day for about a week after they are well in order to tone up the digestive or general system and prepare for fattening. Then feed the fattener regularly and thus make even your scrawny animals the pictures of beauty — with full quantity of mutton and an abundance of wool. That is what con- stitutes success in stock raising. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is guaranteed to be the best muscle, bone and fat producer ever discovered by science, and therefore should be fed to your sheep every day, and if you will feed it every- day an absolute increase of 15 to 50 per cent in mutton and wool, and a saving of 15 to 25 per cent in feed, will be guaranteed. The largest and most successful sheep raisers would not think of preparing fat sheep for the market without Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. It not only saves feed and makes fat, but it fattens in less than three quarters the time. Furthermore, it gives the mutton a delicious flavor that can only be obtained by quick fattening. Quick fattening forces the fat all through the muscles and makes it tender and juicy. This kind of mutton will make your flock famous in your district. On our cash guarantee to bring you paying results, can you afford to go on in the old way? Why not make the most possible money out of your sheep? Test it at our risk.

The wool production alone is over $50,000,000 a year. Sheep will pay a handsome profit to everyone who has the right kind of land for them. Limestone or Sandstone Hills are said to make the ideal pasturage. Marshy places are unsuitable and must be thoroughly drained Timothy, red top, white clover, blue grass or orchard grass are good grasses for sheep. Sheep eat many kinds of weeds. This can be taken advantage of by turning them into the cornfield and thus used destroy the weeds which come up late in the season. But to put a full quantity of mutton on your sheep and to get an abundance of wool from them, they must have good food. They have to turn every ounce of feed they eat into living flesh and bone. When they do this they are making money for you in the way of mutton and .wool. They can't bring you a full, overflowing yield of mutton and wool if their systems are run down. Gold Coin Cattle Fat- tener can be fed very cheaply, as a practical test will prove to any sheep-raiser that it will make an increase of 15 to 25 per cent more than could possibly be done without feeding it. It doesn't matter if your flock consists of six sheep or 60,000, you want an overflowing abundance of profit from them. The increased profit is abso- lutely guaranteed. Gold Coin Cattle F*attener contains the elements made by nature that stim- ulate growth and fat production, and if it is fed once a day, giving one half measureful for each sheep, it can and will increase your mutton and wool crop. We absolutely guarantee it to do this. If it fails we will refund the price. You can't ask for a fairer test than that.

They require more care than some other breeds and can only be raised with success in districts which have plenty of rich grasses, although breeders report excellent results where Gold Coin Fattener is used, even, though the pastur- age is sparse. Its eflfect on the wool is gratify- ing. They are good breeders and have many favorable qualities. (Descriotion of Breeds continued on next page.> YOUR MUTTON YIELD. Every pound of mutton on a sheep has to grow there through the natural laws of diges- tion of feed, and turning it into bone and flesh. The quicker you can do this, the tenderer the mutton will be. That is why Gold Coin fed sheep are always famous in their district. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener promotes digestion and makes fat. If sheep are fed a measureful of the fattener twice a day along with the regular feed, the extra fat is distributed through the flesh, making it nice and tender and sweet.

The people, the consumers, want scientifically fed mutton. It tastes better. It is tenderer. It is fattened GOLD COIN COLIC CURE SAVES LIVES.

COTSWOLD SHEEP. The Cotswold sheep are an English breed. Since their introduction into the United States they have become great favorites. They have many favorable qualities which adapt them to the average farm. They are good breeders, large and hardy, and thrive w^ell even on the poorer grades of grasses.

SHEEP BREEDING. The proper age for breeding is two years to ten years. Have one ram for every 60 to 70 sheep, Do not allow him to run with flock. Your ram will be able to serve more ewes and get lambs of greater constitutional strength if he is fed daily a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener. It makes vigor and vitality in the male. Perfect digestion and a high state of health makes him a sure "getter" and throws his own traits of strength and vigorous constitution into the lambs. Weak lambs are one of the drawbacks in sheep raising. You will have no such trouble with your lambs if you will keep your rams full of vigorous vitality by feeding one measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener once a day. The ewes, too, will get through their lambing with less danger if they bear strong healthy offsprings. During the lambing time the ewes must have extra care. They must have good food, hay, oats, crushed corn and bran with a measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, for each ewe. It helps her digestion and its action as a fat producer enables her to build up again with ease and rapidity. The danger is thus greatly lessened. Your ewes will give more and richer milk, (hence better nutrition to the lambs) if you will feed them a half measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener once a day. It is guaran- teed to pay you 15 to 25 per cent on the profit of your ewes. If you have never used it write us, and test these facts at our expense.

Gold Coin Germ Killer The BEST Remedy Known for Cure of Scab SEE BELOW Sheep Snfferlngr From Scab — Picture Used by Special PermlsBion From 11. S. Bureau of Animal Industry. DISEASES OF S HEEP— TREATM ENT AND CURE. EVERY FARMER SHOULD LEARN HOW TO TREAT AND CURE ALL THE COMMON AILMENTS OF HIS HORSES, CATTLE, SHEEP AND HOGS. SCAB. Scab is due to a parasite which burrows under the skin. This sets up inflammation. A watery secretion exudes, which dries and forms scabs. It is an easy disease to recognize, because the animal pulls off the wool with its teeth. The sheep then bites or rubs the bare surface. The back, between the neck and the tail, is the usual location, the same as vermin on other animals. The mite (scab) hatches in four days and at seven days of age lays eggs. Therefore, you must "dip" twice. The second "dip" being more than four days and less tharr seven days after. Scab is not fatal, but it is a terrible pest. You lose the wool and the sheep cannot develop or put on fat as it should. Treatment and Cure: Mix three tablespoon- fuls of Gold Coin Germ Killer to one-half pail of water, and thoroughly saturate (soak) the di- seased portions. Make this application once a day until cured. "Dip" the sheep in a solution made of 4 tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Germ Killer to each pail of water. Hold the sheep under for two minutes by the watch. Occasionally sub- merge the head. Rub the scabs with a curry- comb or corncob to insure reaching the para- site. This will kill the mature mites, but the eggs, which remain, hatch in four days. There- fore, a second "dip" must be made after four days — about the sixth day is the best time for the second "dip." Separate the afflicted sheep from the well ones. Clean out the pens and sprinkle solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer (three tablespoonfuls to each pail of water) over the floor thoroughly. If you have earth floors, re- move the surface -and put in fresh earth. Then add three tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Germ Killer to each gallon of whitewash, and use to whitewash the pens, mangers, fence and posts against which they may rub. If any of your sheep have scabs, get a can of Gold Coin Germ Killer at once. Write to us and test it at our expense. Feed Gold Coin Cattle Fattener to make strong constitutions.

Worms are common in sheep, but they are hard to detect. Often a sheep raiser cannot tell that worms are in his flock until he examines some of the dead ones. As no one can tell when worms may get a start in their flock, the safest thing is to give them a good worm killer once in a while and see that they are free from wbrms. The best and most thorough worm destroyer or the market is the Gold Coin Worm Powder. It is the cheapest because it goes the farthest. It contains no dangerous drugs. It is guaranteed to do the work or money refunded. It will not only clean out the worms, but it will strengthen and invigorate the entire system, acting as a tonic. Every sheep raiser should always have it on ^hand and as stated above, give some to your flock every now and then to see that they are free. You are wasting feed (money) if you are feeding wormy sheep with their stomachs and bowels clogged up with worms. They can- not put on flesh nor grow as they ought to. Directions: Mix two tablespoonfuls of Gold Coin Worm Powder in a good sized feed of bran mash and give this twice a day for a week or more according to the severity of the case. la some cases the worms are more difficult to expel than others and require longer treatment. Preventive to Worms: Mix a tablespoonful of Gold Coin Worm Powder for each sheep in their regular feed once a day for a week. These precautions need only be taken when there are worms in your flock. But it is wise to give all FOOT ROT. This is a very dangerous and destructive dis- ease. The infection causes impairment of the general health, therefore the afflicted ones should have a measureful of Gold Medal Condition Pow- der twice a day to tone up the system and get the blood in better condition to promote healing. For external use, wash the diseased foot with solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer, made by mixing four tablespoonfuls to a pail of warm water.

HOW ANY FARMER OR HOG-RAISER CAN DOUBLE HIS YEARLY HOG PROFITS. The scientific feeding of hogs has reached such a point at the present time that the farmer or special hog raiser who does not use "Some kind of scientific fattening food, cannot compete with the hog raiser who does. A hog raiser who uses Gold Coin Hog Fattener, is bound to beat his neighbor who does not, because the "Fattener" fattens in about half the time, and yet, at least 15 to 25 per cent less feed is required. Any farmer who knows anything at all about stock, knows that a young animal fattens easier (that is on less food) and quicker time than an old one. If a farmer can "crowd" his hogs and get them on the market at 5 to 6 months of age, weighing from 175 to 300 pounds he knows that the amount of feed required up to that period will be very small, thus leaving the seller a much greater profit than if that same hog was fed for a year. The older a hog gets the more it eats, and the less fat it puts on from a given quantity of food. Quick fattening is the kind that pays. We beg to ask the earnest attention of all who are interested in the raising of hogs. First, that we may teach them the new and scientific methods of feeding now adopted bv the success- ful, money-making hog raisers, and second, that we may put them in a position where they, too, can obtain the wonderful new scientific prepara- tions and fattening foods, which make hog rais- ing successful. In as few words as possible we wish to tell how almost anyone, whether experi- enced or not, can with but very little expense, and very little labor, breed and raise hogs at great profit. There is almost nothing in the line of stock in which there is s© much profit as hogs. The demand for good hogs is great, and the demand for scientifically fed hogs — and young sucklim? pigs — is greater. The number of hogs that are killed by the various packing concerns in the United States States runs into the millions each year. The number of pounds of lard runs into the billions. The demand is not decreasing. Therefore the more hogs you can raise the more money you will make. Two very important facts face every swine raiser, first, to raise hogs in large num- bers they must keep in good health, and second, they must be fattened quickly and gotten rid of quickly, so as not to reduce the profits of the yield by too much consumption of feed. How can these two important facts be met success- fully? Tust as easy, if not easier, than raising anything else. For the benefit of the hog raiser a new scientific compound has been invented — Gold Coin Hog Fattener — which possesses a TRIPLE action. Its first action is to aid and increase di- gestion and assimilation and the superinduced production of fat and growth which make the hog reach full weight in almost half the usual time. The tender age of the hog also makes the meat more desirable and healthful. Gold Coin Hog Fattener does exactly those three things, it is sci- entifically compounded so as to be a Digestive, a Blood Purifier, and a Flesh, Bone and Fat Pro- ducer. All that is necessary to do the most scien- tific- feedine^ of hogs, and make big profits is to feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly three times a day in their regular feed. It is very simple. Every package contains a little measure which gives the scientific amount necessary to give each hog to get the very best results. Doing so is sure to make extra money for you out of your hogs. We don't care how many diflferent kinds of stock foods or condition powders you may have used, Gold Coin Hog Fattener, is a fattener scientifically compounded for hogs and hogs only, and will do the work when general "stock foods" fail. A stock food which is said by its owners to do everything from fattening horses down to makin.g chickens lay more eggs may pos- sibly do nothing, because such a preparation i% not scientifically compounded for any special use. But Gold Coin Hog Fattener is specially com- pounded for the fattening of hogs only, and it does it, las thousands of hog raisers will testify. Gold Coin Hog Fattener is not for cattle, sheep or horses — it is for hogs only, and therefore it will do for hogs that which no other preparation now on the market will. It is much less expensive than the varius stock foods on the market, and will bring you a hundred times more profit. If you are raising hogs, it is important that you should use a "hog food" pure and simple and thus make the most profit possible from your season's yield. We want to see you make more money than ever out of your hogs, and will gladly help you if you will write us regarding the number of head of hogs you have, their breed, their present condition, etc. All corerspondence and advice. is free. Write us regarding any of your stock at any time.' We will be pleased to answer, and get you on a scientific basis of feeding, and thus also get you on the right track for making extra money. Write our veterinary department if your hogs or anv of your stock become sick. Don't ship hogs or cattle to market until they have been fattened. Fat gives weight and weight means money to you. Hogs fed on Gold Coin Hog Fattener have better flavored pork .and often command a premium in the market.

FATTENING FOR MARKET. You Double Your Profits by Fattening Quickly. It is recognized that the greatest profits in hog raising are obtained by forcing the feed from birth until ready for the market. Hog breeders always make big profits and they are making larger profits today than ever on account of the scientific method of feeding with Gold Coin Hog Fattener. This hog Fattener is fed to brood sows and the increased richness of her milk imparts strength and vitality to her pigs. The pigs when weaned are fed the Gold Coin Hog Fattener in their slop or other feed and in five to eight months are ready for market weighing 200 to 300 pounds — their pork tender and sweet. These scientifically fed hogs often command a premium in the market. QUICK FATTENING. Maybe you have never used Gold Coin Hog Fattener and want to use it now just to fatten up some hogs quickly. In this case the dose will have to be increased. Use Gold Coin Hog Fattener two measurefuls for each hog twice a day, mixed with the slop; or wet up the grain feed and mix Gold Coin Hd^ Fattener with it. If you wish to push the fat- tening very rapidly you may feed the Fattener three times a day. Give plenty of water to drink. Some raisers use three measurefuls three times a day to get excessively speedy results. Gold Coin Hog Fattener not only shortens the fattening period but it saves 15 to 25 per cent of the feed.

Gold Coin Hog Fattener is the cheapest thing you can use and it is the quickest. It never fails. MONEY IN FAT. In raising hogs for the market, you must do more than merely feed to sustain life. It gives no profit. YOU MUST FEED TO FATTEN. Fat, if taken on quickly and cheaply, brings the big profits. In view of these facts, farmers should be on the lookout for a special food that will fat- ten quickly and with the least amount of waste.

Quick work means quick profits. Gold Coin Hog Fat- tener makes quick fat and saves 25 per cent of feed, thus giving you 25 per cent more profit, and gets you to the market first. Fed regularly on Gold Coin Hog Fattener, your hogs are kept up to the highest point of health, making their bones grow, and giving you large-sized hogs.

RAISING ON SMALL SCALE, The waste around the house and at the very most $2 or $3 worth of feed will raise a fine hog or two. Such hogs are practically all profit. They are like finding money. The feed can be made to go much farther and your hog will have a clean, fine, fat finish if you will use Gold Coin Hog -Fattener once a day. We guarantee it to put on a half pound of fat more for every cent's worth of Gold Coin Fattener you use. We especially wish to interest small raisers. RAISING ON LARGE SCALE. To large raisers the great item of expense is feed. Remem- ber, that sick hogs or those with weak constitu- tions can't grow and lay on fat like healthy hogs. You know this. I know it. Naturally, I, as a man with practical experience, always urge the use of Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener from birth up in order to increase the constitu- tional strength of the animals. If your expenses are high your profits are less. Sick hogs, like sick people, waste in flesh, waste of feed, that is waste in expense — money. Weakly hogs make very little profit over the feed you give them. It is a known fact in science that animals eat too rapidly to digest all they eat. Considerable of their food passes away undigested, not turned in- to flesh, bone or fat. Now right here is where Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener gets in its work. Here is where the large raiser can save all the way from 15 to 50 per cent. It makes the hogs digest every ounce they eat and turn it into flesh and fat. They just can't help it. Gold Coin Hog Fattener stimulates digestion and creates growth, strength and health. It prevents Cholera, Pneumonia and thus saves you' loss by disease. As a money-saver to the raiser we urge scien- tific feeding by the use of Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener. Try it, and use it, and if it does not save you money in feed, in waste of fat by sickness, in loss by death from cholera and make you a handsome profit in increased size of hog and quantity of fat, it won't cost you a cent. Every pound of Gold Coin Hog Fattener is sold on a SPOT CASH GUARANTEE. It is not what your ho^s eat, bat what they digrest, that makes money for you. This man doesn't believe in the new scientific methods of feeding and cleanliness. Hog Cholera caught him nap- ping and as a result his hogs are all dying instead of get- ting fat and making money for him. THE BOAR. Farmers too frequently neglect the condition of their boars. The boar should be in good con- dition, and full of vigor and healthy vitality, and he will hand down his good qualities to his get. Gold Coin Hog Fattener- will give him greatly increased vigor and his pigs will have extra strong constitutions. -It pays to have pigs born with strong constitutions. They fatten easier and are less liable to hog cholera. The Gold Coin Hog Fattener should be fed to the boars three times a day during the breeding season, otherwise once a day. FANCY PURE BREEDING.

The successful farmer is the one who makes the most money. The 15 to 25 per cent that you save by feeding Gold Coin Hog Fattener makes you just that much more successful than your behind-the-times neighbors who feed the old way without any scientific help.

We take the risk if it fails and you get the profits it vidns. HOGS DIGESTION. In fattening hogs you are always over-crowd- ing the digestion. Doesn't common sense tell you that hogs need Gold Coin Hog Food and Fat- tener to aid digestion. It will save feed. Yon are losing money if yon are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 61 Pure Bred Daroe-Jersey Sow. (Owned by Mr. Wm. Malcolm, "Vrorthln^on, Minn.)

It also prevents Cholera and keeps hogs free from disease by keeping them at the highest possible standard of health. Feed Gold Coin Hog Fattener regularly to your Duroc-Jerseys from an early age up as directed in article on "Feeding for the Market," and you will have 150 pound to 350 pound hogs in five to eight months.

On the other hand when they get sick there is practically nothing that can be done as they die so quickly, and besides their diseases are all catching, con- tagious. Hence it is of greatest importance in swine raising to prevent disease entering the herd. Most people call all hog diseases Cholera. To my own knowledge there are sixteen different diseases which people call Cholera. All are dan- gerous but reasonable care will prevent and cure every one of them. This will explain why one farmer will get much better results from Gold Coin Food and Fattener than another. If you have fed your hogs with Gold Coin Food and Fattener regularly, diseases will rarely if ever get into your herd, and if it does the attack will be milder. The farmer who has been feeding the Fattener now and then in a slipshod way, cannot expect such good results. Nine times out of ten this same careless farmer has not paid any attention to disinfecting. Whenever the pens are cleaned they should be thoroughly sprinkled with Gold Coin Germ Killer. It is surprising that this careless farmer saves any of his hogs, after a disease gets started. The use of a scientific Gold Coin Hog Food and Germ Killer (Disinfectant) is only common sense care of hogs. You should improve and build up the constitution and this can be done in no other way than to aid the digestion which you are •always over-crowding in hogs, by feeding regularly every day the Gold Coin Hog Food and Fattener.

"Gold Coin Hog Fat- tener" will force almost any young pig to a 200 to 300 pound growth at 6 to 8 months or less, and that is the time to make them bring the most profit.

The old Manny reaper, the self rake, Marsh har- vester were all great things in their day and an advance over the sickle and cradle, but the up-to- date farmer uses a self-binder because it is the best. Progress has also been made in the feeding of horses and the up to-date farmer feeds Gold Coin Horse Tonic for the very same reasons that he uses a self-binder. In both cases it is the most economical; it saves money by saving grain; it is scientific; it is reasonable and in accord with modern methods. If you have investigated the subject you know that any breed of animals kept in domestication for many generations acquire certain new characteristics; some of these are advantageous, but others are not. For instance, there is greater liability to disease among domes- tic animals, and this is largely because their diges- tive organs become weakened. To overcome this Gold Coin Horse Tonic has been invented. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is, however, not mere- ly a medicine in the ordinary sense, though there are no medicines better than this, because it is also a food which supplies elements not accessi- ble to horses in the ordinary feeds given them. Besides Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not an ex- pensive food. It is within the reach of all. 15 cents a month provides enough for each horse and keeps him in that perfect vigor, which char- acterizes the well bred horse. It overcomes all the bad effects which civilization and domestica- tion have forced upon horses. GOLD COIN HEALING OIL The Best on the Market. Heals Barb-wire cuts quickly.

Typical Well Trained Trotter, and Racing Sulky. TROTTING HORSES. However speedy a horse is by breeding and training, he will never win a race unless he is properly fed. His flesh should be firm and cool, and be worked onto his frame by constant exer- cise. It doesn't do to merely fatten a trotting horse nor to keep him looking well fed and smooth. He should be as hard as nails and every ounce of flesh on him should be strong, useful muscle. Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular feed with his daily food will assure the owner a trotting horse with muscles like steel springs; inexhaustible bottom; good will and the nerve, style and action that come only with abso- lutely flawless health. Kindness in teaching horses is necessary. We have said little about it because it has come to be so generally recognized as a necessity in the rais- ing and using of all kinds of horses. Every trotting horse has Arabian blood in his veins. The breed began with Imported Messen- ger, sire of Mambrino, sire of poor old Abdallah, who died of starvation and neglect, but not before he in turn had sired Rysdyk's Hambletonian 10 the greatest and most famous of all sires. From this latter horse have sprung all the great strains of trotters in America today. These strains have been bred and interbred as near as was safe until in the tangle of pedigrees almost every fast horse is a blood relation to almost all the others. The result is that a race of horses has developed in this country that for the past forty years, has year after year, been whittling down the trotting time-records, till today the horse that clips an eighth of a second off some great record, becomes famous the world over. All trotting records are held by American horses and have been for more than half a century. No trotting horse today is ever tried against time until he has been trained for it long and patiently and by progressive, up-to-date trainers, his diet made to include Gold Coin Horse Tonic, for it is only by getting him into the pink of con- dition that a record breaker can be made of him. There is no horse food made that can compare with Gold Coin Horse Tonic in nutrient value, remedial virtues, disease preventing qualities and in cheapness. If you own or train trotting horses do not race them without bringing them to per- fection on Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and if you are breeding them, the extra gain made from a single horse, will pay for all the Gold Coin Horse Tonic you can use for many a long year. At so small an outlay no horseman can afford to miss the chance of getting in line with other horsemen and using Gold Coin Horse Tonic. DIGESTION AND INDIGESTION. Some horses eat a great deal and yet they never get fat. Others only eat a small quantity and yet are always fat. Every educated farmer now-a-days knows just why this is. If the diges- tion is poor, of course the animal cannot get fat, as the food passes through without doing any good. If you have any horses in this condition, try Gold Coin Horse Tonic on them. It will make a wonderful change. From a thin, hide- bound, unthrifty animal he will rapidly become fat, round and plump. This is all done by scien- tific feeding. Gold Coin Horse Tonic does it simply because it cJ-eates digestion and gives the animal the benefit of all it eats. GOLD COIN WORiM POWDER.

Shoes are used to protect the hoofs of horses; to give them a better foot-hold when roads are slippery and sometimes to increase speed. Shoes should always be comfortable and fit as well as a man's shoes. The size and weight depend on the horse and what he does. In fitting a shoe do not let an incompetent shoer make the mistake of fitting the hoof to the shoe. The horney part of the hoof necessarily needs to be trimmed down at times because the wearing of shoes prevents the hoof wearing off naturally, but the frog of the foot should be practically let alone so far as the knife is concern- ed, and the frog should always come down far enough so as to strike the ground. It is the cushion nature designed to take the jar off when the foot strikes the ground. The horney part of the hoof should be trimmed off with this in view and also so that the weight of the horse can be evenly and squarely distributed over the shoe and on the ground. Horses fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic almost always have healthy, tough, firm hoofs, because it keeps them in perfect condition all over and supplies the required elements of nutrition to the hoofs as to all other parts of the body.

Owned by Mr. 'W. A. Rale, Kansas City, Mo. IT WINS RACES. RUNNERS, PACERS, TROTTERS. There is no place where Gold Coin Horse Tonic has been put to the test so strongly as at the race track. It has surprised many a horse- man. Gold Coin Horse Tonic gives a hard- ness and spring to the muscle that is just what the race horse needs. In fact, no horse should be over fat, because too much fat prevents free action. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not a fattener. If real fattening is wanted, give a half measureful of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and a half measureful of Gold Coin Cattle Fattener, and you can fatten anything with it. The race horse wants strong, solid, quick muscles. He wants to be in perfect health all the time. Gold Coin Horse Tonic has become the great favorite of the track-men because it gives all these qualities. There is more Gold Coin Horse Tonic fed to race horses than any other tonic known. It puts that "go" and speed in the horse which shows that every eflFort of the animal is being used. Being a purely vegetable tonic and a food, it gives permanent energy to the muscles, that becomes endurance. They can get up a good speed and keep it up. That is usually what wins the race. It is the cheapest and best conditioner a trainer can give regularly to a string of racers. It simply has no equal as a special tonic for a horse at the race track. If you own racers and want to see your horses do their best, put them on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. We will guaran- tee greater speed and endurance. It also keeps the horse in a healthy condition so that there will be less liability of his giving out from dis- ease. If you have never used Gold Coin Horse Tonic on your racers, write us direct and test it on our guarantee. We would like to see your horses win and if we can help you, we will be glad to do so, write us. "OFF-FEED."

If you are a general farmer and have any trotting stock it will pay you well to follow the method of the big trainers and begin feeding Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It makes them healthy and fast. At so small a cost no horseman can afford to miss the chances of getting in line with other progressive, up-to-date horsemen by using Gold Coin Horse Tonic. A point to remember is that horses will do BETTER on 25 per cent less oats when fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic, than they actually need when not getting Gold Coin Horse Tonic. Of course, you feed less grain when your horses are not at work, but feed them enough, and Geld Coin Horse Tonic will keep them fat and in good health. On Gold Coin Horse Tonic you need not feed so much grain, and in the spring your horses come out fat, vigorous and fit for work. For horse kicks and other injuries use Gold Coin Healing Oil.

ABOUT CALLING A VETERINARY. In every locality there are some very honor- able and praise-worthy Veterinary Surgeons, men whose integrity and ability are an honor to any community. The services of such men should should always be summoned in time of need. We have stated all through this book that the employment of a reliable Veterinary surgeon is necessary in a great many cases. Veterinary Surgeons of this high standard never say anything against first class preparations put up in con- venient form for easy use by farmers and stock- men. They do not cast slurs against "digestive ■foods" such as the Gold Coin Fattening Foods, because they know their profit-making value for farmers. And they are always glad to see a farmer make money. But there are dishonest, swelled-headed, ignorant, uneducated men who never deserve the title V. S. from friends or enemies. They are liable to say "things against any preparation that they do not make themselves, no matter how good it is, just because they want you to call them so they will get a chance to charge you a big fee. Look out for such men, and if you ever hear a Veterinary denounce our "Foods" or goods you can put him down as one belonging to the latter class, and not the kind of a man it would pay you to employ. Thou- sands of good Veterinary Surgeons all over the country are indorsing Gold Coin Fattening Foods, and advising the use of our handy remedies. Hundreds prescribe our "Colic Cure" and "Heal- ing Oil" almost daily, and are glad to be number- ed among friends of the largest "Fattening Food Co" in the world. We cordially invite all Ve- terinary Surgeons or stockmen of a Veterinary turn of mind to send us description of any pe- culiar puzzling cases, for registration in our Veterinary Department. DON'T TAKE IMITATIONS. If any dealer tries to sell you something "just as good," don't take it. Let the dealer know that you are not a fool to be led into buying any- thing he "Talks up." If he once sees that you are "easy" he will work the same trick on you in other ways. When you ask for "Gold Coin Stock Foods" or any of our Special Remedies insist on having no other, because no other has the same reliable cash guarantee on them that makes it siure you get your money back if it fails to bring paying results.. .And other cheaper pre- parations cannot contain the valuable ingredients that ours do. We offer $5000 if any poisonous or injurious drug is contained in our foods. We want to see you make money and we have put ingredients of the best quality in our Foods, so that we can guarantee them to make extra money for you. GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC.

Very few men outside of the leisure class can afford to keep horses solely for pleasure, though the poor man who has only one horse may justly be as proud of him and take probably more real interest in him than any millionaire who hires grooms and hostlers by the score to care for horses, he could not recognize his own if he saw them in a strange stable. The grooms and host- lers are the ones who get the real pleasure out of these horses of the rich and are their real masters and companions. There are of course many of the very rich who take an intelligent interest in their own horses and find a genuine delight in being with them, and to these men, as well as to the grooms and hostlers and especially to breeders, farmers and horse owners in general the subject of feeding is one of great interest. Profitable feeding is cheap feeding. The sooner you make use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular thing, the sooner you can discover that you can save a large percentage of the amounts of grain usually fed. In another place we have given you the figures of a hypothet- ical 30 days' test which is based on experience and any horseman, breeder or farmer who desires to get the greatest amount of work out of his horses on the smallest consumption of food and at the same time have them always in shape for the best prices in the open market can do no better than adopt the use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic forth- with and make it a rule of his stables that his horses must be fed on this truly great medicated food. It is absolutely free from any and all strong or hurtful drugs and contains only those natural seeds, herbs, barks and roots which horses by McLaughlin Bros., Columbus, O. in their native wild state get for themselves and in domestication are deprived of. It supplies those elements which permit the wild horse to keep in good condition the year around and at the same time when his pasturage is scanty and widely scattered. POINTERS FOR HORSEMEN.

If you have the means at hand the .profit is much greater than raising cattle. Notice these figures: It takes about the same amount of feed, and comes to about the same cost to raise a steer to three years of age as it does to raise a colt to three years. The colt you will sell for from $75 to $150, while you will only get $20 to $40 for the steer. Thus you can see there is great profit in raising horses. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the key to suc- cess in raising horses. First, because it keeps them well all the time, and second, because it makes them grow fast, and third, because it saves grain. If your horses keep well and strong you lose no money by sickness or death. If your colts grow fast, with large bone frame and well developed muscles, it gives them a finer appear- ance and they bring a much better price when you come to sell them. If you can save 25 to 35 per cent of the feed you are making a good per- centage of gain in that way. Because of the above reasons many horse raisers say that Gold Coin Horse Tonic makes them 50 per cent more profit than they have ever made before. In running a horse farm you should keep books just the same as any business firm. Have a fair market value set upon every horse and colt, and increase their value from year to year until the time of sale. You should know just how much your grain and other feed is costing you, and you should know in actual figures every year just how much clear profit you make. If by the use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic you can sell your horses for from $25 to $50 apiece more than before, you can see what a great gain in profit it will make you. Gold Coin Horse Tonic increases the value of horses because it tones up the digestive and nervous systems, giving ex- tra strength, life and vigor, these mean high action, intelligence and endurance. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is a perfect horse food because it hardens the muscles and gives grace, elegance and beautiful form to the horse, that is what brings the price. If you are raising one or more horses, you cannot afford NOT to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It puts into your hands some- thing whereby you can practically double vour profits, and you are surely running a stock farm for profit. If you have never used Gold Coin Horse Tonic write us at once for our special prices in bulk. SELLING HORSES. In selling horses you always want them to appear to their best advantage, at least, at the time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 Aays, and it will often double the selling price of the animal. Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to $50.00 to the selling price. A wonderful improve- ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for all horse dealers to know. A purchaser will always try to cut your price down if your horse is not sleek and fat. It won't take 25 cents' worth of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look worth $50.00 more^^ QUITTOR— As soon as it begins apply Gold Coin Healing Oil freely around the top of the hoof— it cures.

No farmer can consider his stable complete unless he has at least one good saddle horse, and if it suits his need, it would be still better to have three or four, depending on the number of people employed by the farmer and the size of his immediate family. Spare time can always be used to advantage in training them to be really first class with several gaits, for you can never tell when the moment will come when some buyer will turn up who wants your ridine horse more than he wants a lot of money. These chances come up quite often in spite of the fact that rid- ing horses are in little demand compared with other kinds, and the farmer can find uses almost daily for one or more good saddle horses right on the farm. They enable one to get quickly to any part of the farm, and in case of accident, it is much quicker to mount and ride for the doctor than to wait to hitch up, and the difference in time may, mean the difference of life and death of some one very dear to you. Almost more than any other kind of horses, the saddle horse should be always kept in prime condition, and there is nothing on earth you can do that will reach this result so surelv as to feed your saddle horses Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It is the one essential to keep them full of life, yet gentle and tractable, giving them staying power and speed because it keeps the digestive tract clean and cool, leaving room for heart and lungs; strengthens the muscles and calms the nerves. Any saddle horse fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic will sell for 25 to 50 per cent more money and be 100 per cent more useful to farmers. A point to be remembered is that with Gold Coin Horse Tonic a horse will do better on 20 per cent less oats than he actually needs when not fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. PONIES. It is in the. temperate climate that the horse reaches his best form, whether for speed or size. In excessively cold climates he degenerates into a pony, as the ponies from the Shetland Isles, or as in the Mexican Mustang ponies of the semi- tropical regions. Oriental horses from coimtries under the equator are always small in ?ize. In the development of species dependent upon en- vironment various characteristics develop in ac- cord with the imperative needs of the climate, as the long thick coat of the Shetlands, for in- stance, and the hairless ponies of tropical China. Most ponies are descended from wild herds and have to be handled with extreme care before they become domesticated, and in order to keep them healthy it is almost necessary to specialize their diet. Gold Coin Ho'se Tonic is the one uni- versal product which can be depended on to keep ponies in perfect health. Under its use ponies remain rugged and strong, and being well nour- ished, are good natured and docile, so that they can be handled by children, for whose use they are gcneraPy kept. ■ Write us your experience with our "Cattle Fattener," "Hog Fattener" or "Horse Tonic," we will greatly appreciate it You are losing money if yon are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 93 French Coach Horse in Action.

Cures cut§ aii4 wo«nd§ qu man or beast, GOOD HORSES. It is an old saying and a true one, that it costs no more to keep a good horse than it does to keep a poor one. It costs less as a matter of actual fact, for a well bred horse keeps in condition on less grain and is usually more healthy than the scrub, for often scrubs are creatures of enormous appetite combined with the utter inability to lay on fat. Many a man is criticised for starving his horses when in reality the horses are eating their heads off to satisfy their craving for food. The fault is either in the digestive tract or else in the sluggishness of the blood. In either case Gold Coin Horse Tonic will make them lay on fat in a short while, and at the same time you can cut down their grain with perfect security in the results. Once in a while a scrub horse is a fast horse or a great worker, and if such is the case, the chances are there is good blood in them some where. If they are mares they may be good to breed from if size and freedom from blemishes is all right. All blemishes in a mare are not a bar to breeding her, only those which are apt to be inherited.

SIRES AND DAMS. If you already have stock on hand, select your best for breeding purposes. If you intend buying, choose both sires and dams first in regard to their blood or breed and see that they are strong and vigorous, without blemishes either of limbs, vital organs or body; that they are intelligent, docile and even-tempered. Absolutely refuse to breed from an inferior bred sire. If you own a stallion yourself, feed him Gold Coin Horse Tonic and thus create in him extra vigor, making him a sure foal getter, and causing him to hand down his superior qualities of breed to his "get." Im- properly fed arid cared for, your stock will not pay, however good the breed. Feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic constantly and give your blooded stock a chance to show what they can do at their best. Many things enter into the problem of success- ful and profitable breeding and sometimes a very small matter throws the scale the right way. Do not lose a single chance to make your breeding pay and Gold Coin Horse Tonic makes a big chance that it will pay. If you have never used it, write us direct and test it on our guarantee to bring you paying results. BUYING SPEED HORSES. If you breed horses for speed, of course you know pretty nearly what each of your animals can do in this way, and if you buy any new stock you sliould take the pains to know what it can do in speed. The general farmer buying a fast horse ought to take nobody's word since something may happen to reduce the speed of the horse and you might think the seller deceived you and that the horse never made the time claimed. The seller may be truthful, since a horse may make good time to-day and never be able to make it again in his life. The only way to buy a fast horse is to have him go a sample mile or two against time and let some competent judge snap a stop watch on him. Then you actually know just what time the horse will make. It is the only safe way, and if you will then keep the horse on Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and get vigor and energy to the highest standards you may be able to develop him into a great speeder. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is used by all prom- inent trackmen for its "tonic" effect. It has won races. . , 96 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., tTnion Stock Yards, CkicagO. Pure Bred Clydesdale — 1st Prize Winner. CLYDESDALE HORSES. _ These are a justly valued breed. In breeding, raising, training and keeping Clydesdales, do not fail to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. While this breed is easily acclimated, and when crossed with common stock, produces good, all around farm horses, our climate is not the same as the Scotch- English climate of their native country, and es- pecially directly after importation do they need special care. With ordinary prudence in handling, Clydesdales and their crosses, make good healthy animals, especially when fed regularly on Gold Coin Horse Tonic they develop to the full those strong, sturdy characteristics, the shiny coat; clear eye; clear nostril; and layered muscle that marks them at their best. In buying Clydesdales see that they are well muscled and not too fat; the head should be medium size with broad forehead between the eyes; long 'ears; jaw wide and strong boned; eyes full and mild; large nostrils; neck slightly arched and swelling with thick outer layers of muscles and wide as it joins the shoulders. The breast broad and full;- the barrel should be round and full with ample room for the great vital organs; the foreleg should be clean boned and well mus- cled, long from elbow to knee, from knee to fet- lock short, which knees should be large, with a tendency to long hairs below the knee; back legs short and well coupled up and full round muscled; hoofs large and tough. Their color is usually brown. (Description of breeds continued on next page.) ^'SPECIAL SELECTION." This is selection of sire and dam with a view of emphasizing certain desirable qualities, and continuing this selection from generation to gen- eration until some one feature is brought to the highest possible point of development. Ordinarily breeding heavy draft and farm horses, every farm- er can emphasize the fast walk in his new stock. Keep this in mind and if breeding work horses, select only those which can walk rapidly, and in two or three generations you can produce a race of long stepping, rapid watkers, worth from 20 to 50 per cent more money in the open market than the same breed if bred slow walkers. Fast walking is to the draft horse what speed is to the trotter, the more they show the more money they brino-. and Gold Coin Horse Tonic is the es- sential more than any other one thing for feeding when you are breeding for special features, since it is only by keeping the dams in perfect condition all the time that you can hope to breed satisfac- torily for any purpose. If you want to get the best results from any point of view, put your brood mares also on Gold Coin Horse Tonic at once. GOLD COIN WORM POWDER. Is Death to Worms In horses, mules, cattle and hogs.

This breed shows many good points for the farmer's consideration. The Morgan is a medium weight horse. It is a good roadster and good at all work on the farm. It is handier on the soft ground than the heavier breeds and less likely to become spavined. A few years ago this breed was very popular, and in some districts is coming into popularity again. As a general purpose horse the Morgan is considered better than any other breed. This is an excellent animal to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic on. It makes the r" coat smooth and glossy. It keeps up the nerve, energy, and endurance, as well as keeping them free from disease, and in practical working con- dition all the time. Use Gold Coin Horse Tonic on all your horses and you will see a 100 per cent improvement in a short time. By its "Toning up" action it makes valuable, high spirited, expensive horses of what would otherwise be cheap scrubs. You want the best and you get the BEST when you use Gold Coin Stock Foods. It makes extra money for the farmers by increasing the value of ■» the stock, as well as making a saving in feed. Try it. (Description of Breeds continued on next page.) M.

A farm horse or any other heavy work horse which has been in the habit of getting five quarts of oats three times a day, can be given four quarts' of oats and a measureful (tablespoonful) of Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times a day, and he will be in far better condition, and show better nourishment than if he were fed five quarts three times a day without any Gold Coin Horse Tonic. A lighter horse only needs three quarts of oats and one feed of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to keep in much better condition than if fed four quarts of oats and no Gold Coin Horse Tonic. That shows you the actual saving of this great scientific preparation. No animal can eat Gold Coin Horse Tonic and have indigestion. You can take a run down, bony horse and fatten him in a very short time with Gold Coin Horse Tonic. He will take on fat and keep it and remain a much better horse permanently. ENGLAND USES SEVERAL THOUSANDS OF OUR HORSES EVERY YEAR. They pay us from $200 to $325 a head for good draft horses. It pays to raise the very best grade of horses.

FRENCH COACH HORSES. As Canada has made Cleveland Bays famous as coach horses, so the French government has taken great pains and gone to almost any ex- pense to produce a breed of horses for coach pur- poses that cannot be surpassed for style, action, speed and intelligence bj^ any other known coach horse. The great endurance of this breed is en- hanced by the regular use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and to breeders generally we wish to say emphatically that you will add from 20 to 60 per cent to the price of your coach horses if you use Gold Coin Horse Tonic from time of weaning till sold in the market. There is every likelihood that they will continue to get the Gold Coin Horse Tonic after they get to the city, for all owners of private coach horses who know the value of this food feed it systematically. These horses weigh from 1,100 to 1,-1:00 pounds and combine strength with speed and endurance, as you would expect of a horse combining Arab, French and English thoroughbred blood.

The value of a horse depends on his ability to get over the ground from place to place. To do this to the best advantage, he must have good legs and feet. A horse may be perfect in every way. but if his feet are bad he is disabled from work at once, therefore, know your blacksmith. Pick out one who knows his business. A poor, ignorant or careless blacksmith can ruin more horses than he is worth. The day is past when any man who blows a bellows and bends a piece of hot iron, can shoe horses. Horseshoeing is a profession and an art. At least the blacksmith should know how to trim a hoof so as to prop- erly distribute the weight and pressure over the shoe; how to drive nails so as to avoid laming the horse and at the same time not injure the hoof; he should particularly know enough to let the frog alone except when it clearly needs trim- milig and it rarely needs much, since it should touch the. ground, and wear away naturally. All the frog needs, as a rule, is to be kept clean. A good blacksmith is a treasure. Treat him well and pay him promptly, for he can preserve your horse's feet and straighten them up after a poor smith has damaged them.

Any of them make the finest draft horses in the world. If you want to get the best results with Percherons either for breeding or exhibition purposes, don't fail to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and if you would have your brood mares, when bred to a Percheron stallion, foal the best and strongest colts, you can get this result most surely by using Gold Coin Horse Tonic, all the time she is with foal. PERCHERON HORSES. Inere is no breed which shows so well the marvelous effects of Gold Coin Horse Tonic. The rule is that the best breeds the best results with Gold Coin Horse Tonic, though you should not lose sight of the fact that even with scrub horses Gold Coin Horse Tonic shows how won- derfully well they can be made to appear, and how near common horses can be made to look as though they had the life and breeding of their betters. This is because any horse fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic' is built up in health till he be- comes absolutely perfect, even if he is hard worked and poorly fed otherwise; because Gold coin Horse Tonic is a food as well as a system regulator and health builder. Percheron horses have more highly developed nervous systems than most heavy draft horses, which is shown in their remarkable traveling powers and quickness for their weight; and also in their superior intelligence. In buying Percherons, see that the head is of medium size and length and wide forehead be- tween the eyes with the face slightly dished; ears god size and quick; nostrils clean and open; eye bright and intelligent, but not showing the least wildness; the neck arched, wide and thickening well toward shoulders; shoulders very muscular and well sloped; back short, well coupled and full muscled; body round, full, close ribbed and ex- pansive; hind quarters round, full and strongly built. Their colors are black and gray. Hair fine, short, but longer on the legs, especially below the knees. Some confusion has arisen in naming this breed, since in the stud book the names Norman, Percheron, Percheron Norman, Norman Perch- FARM HORSES. No book on the subject of horses could be considered complete without paying a well de- served tribute to the farm horses. These faithful servants and friends of man have not always re- ceived the care and attention their great services deserved. They do the greatest part towards maintaining the prosperity and pre-eminence of our country, and should be given every care. If you wish to be a kind master and at the same time secure the greatest possible amount of service from your farm horses you will be compelled to give them Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular diet. They like it; it keeps them in health all the time without a day's sickness; makes them^ strong and well developed muscularly; keeps their skins active and therefore their coats glossy and bright; and fills them with that nerve and super-abund- ance of health that makes thoroughbreds and blooded stock generally beautiful animals to look unon and valuable for their services. Invest to- day in your first supply of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and get into line with modern horsemen. Why not have your horses look as well and be as valuable as anv one's? 100 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., nion Stock Yards, Chicago. Prlze-Wlnnlng Clydesdale. CLEVELAND BAY HORSES. IN AND IN, AND CROSS-BREEDING. Every farmer wants to make the greatest amount of money possible and he cannot do this without giving proper attention to the horses on the farm. While it paj^s best perhaps in one way to raise heavy draft horses, there is no question but the farmer can get a fancy price for a good coach horse any time and if he has a pair well matched and trained he can demand and get his own price for them. In raising Cleveland Bays, you will make no mistake, for you are sure of get- ting a good wagon or plow horse and perhaps you will get a good coach horse. It depends on the dam. The better the mare bred to a Cleveland Bay stallion the better your chances of getting a good coach horse. Canada has earned a wide- spread fame for coach horses and she has done it by breeding from the best Cleveland Bay sires and raising the standard of her brood mares. To-day she has a lead on coach horses hard to overcome. The Canada coach horse breeders use thou- sands of tons of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, and keep their stock in perfect condition all the time. It is this intelligent and persistent feeding of Gold Coin Horse Tonic that makes them such successful breeders. (Description of breeds continued, on next page.)

Others advocate cross-breeding and beyond a doubt, this is the safest for the gen- eral farmer. In and in breeding by fathers to daughters and mothers to sons; sisters and broth- ers; uncles and aunts, or even first cousins may produce undesirable individuals. Even if they hap- pen to be physically perfect, they are apt to be of uncertain temper and vicious disposition, or nat- ural born fools, who never learn anything, are hard to break or teach, and subject to disease. Sometimes it becomes almost a necessity for a farmer to in-breed to a certain extent, and when it is necessary you can guard against possible bad results by feeding systematically Gold Coin Horse Tonic, since it will bring the stock up to that high state of physical and mental perfection by which only it is possible to produce desirable get. SELLING HORSES. In selling horses you always want them to appear to their best advantage, at least, at the time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 days, and it will often double the selling price of the animal. Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to $50.00 to the selling price. A wonderful improve- ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for all horsedealers to know. A purchaser will always try to cut your price down if your horse is not sleek and fat. It wont take 25c worth of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look worth $50.00 more.

There are few full blooded Arabian horses in America, but as they are the source of the thoroug-hbred, so are they the source of the trot- ting and pacing horse. For thousands of years the Arabians have held these horses in the heart of their afifection and since they must often trust their lives to the speed and endurance of their horses they have through unnumbered genera- tions kept them pure in blood and bred them for these qualities. At the same time, these horses have a beauty in their full flanked, deer like legs, high arching necks and delicate, patrician heads, that makes them much more than their speedier descendants, the subject of the artist's brush. In importing Arabian horses for breeding purposes it has been found that fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic, they retain and show an incrtease in strength, health, endurance and power of getting valuable colts.

BREEDING FOR SIZE. If you are a general farmer, don' breed trot- ters. It requires the time and money for training that only trotting breeders who are specialists in that line can afford. The gains may look large, but the cost is heavy and the losses and disap- pointments are simply bankrupting. If you want to raise a trotter or two for your own private use and can afford them, of course, it is nobody's busi- ness, and if you feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic you can carry them through safely and have as fine buggy horses as the richest man in America, though they may lack track training. There are farmers to-day in the poorhouse and lunatic asylum through chasing the will-o-the-wisp of fast horses. Raise heavy draft horses, carriage horses and farm horses, and feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic and sell them as young as possible, always v/ith regard to the state of the market, and by using even ordinary judgment, 3^ou can make all kinds of money. When breeding select the best possible mares you can get, and if you can raise good mares of your own so much the better, as you can keep im- proving your breeds all the time. Give your most careful attention to choice of sires, other things being equal, have a sire and dam about the same size. If either is a trifle smaller let it be the mare. If you desire to increase the size of your stock let the mare be larger than the horse. From the time your mare is covered, feed her constantly Gold Coin Horse Tonic. The foal will be large, strong, and well developed. After dropping the foal, continue feeding Gold Coin Horse Tonic, so that the mare will recover quickly, have plenty of milk, and be able to bring the colt quickly to weaning. Continue feeding Gold Coin Horse Tonic both to the colt and mare. You can have your mare for work, or to breed back with a saving in time and in money in proportion to the worth of your stock. If Gold Coin Horse Tonic fails in any case to do what we claim for it, we will refund your money, and not only is it the best, but it is also the cheapest. 102 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago. Pure Bred Prize "Winning Shire. VERMONT DRAFT HORSES. If any man with an ambition to make money in horses would take up this breed, there is no question but he would succeed, as well as doing a patriotic duty towards his country. These horses are becoming quite rare, yet they are always in demand by the United States government for calvary horses, at good prices. Any stock farm with a good supply of these horses would at once become the focus of Uncle Sam's gaze and a steady market would be in readiness for the man who has the foresight to take up the breeding of Vermont draft horses. They show to the very best advantage and develop more rapidly when fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic as a regular ration. As said before, Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not merely a medicine, but a medicinal food, which ought to be fed regularly the year round, for it is under such feeding that this breed develops into one of the handsomest and most powerful horse;s known anywhere and is able to pull heavy loads at a speed which would kill an ordinary horse.

This is a refinement of names hardly required in a brief summary such as this, since what has been said of Percherons will apply largely and m general terms to this breed. The proper designa- tion of the larger, heavier, slower horses from Normandy is simply the Norman horse, while its more active and lighter brother is called the Percheron. In tests of strength, these horses all show more endurance, greater bottom, nerve and willingness when fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic than similar individuals fed in the ordinary way.

The building qualities of oats can be doubled, some feeders say tripled, if Gold Coin Horse Tonic is fed in connection with it. It is the ideal feed for horses. It makes less heat. You can begin feeding your colts oats from weaning time, and if you feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic to the colts at the same time you get a result that can not be surpassed, in muscle and bone growth. The colts are always intelligent and good tempered if fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic because they are always healthy and therefore they are much more easily broken. Remember, it takes time to digest oats, as they require much stomach digestion, therefore you should never water horses inside of half an hour after feeding them oats. Water stops the digest- ing power of the stomach for a time, besides washing a good deal of the feed through into the bowels before it is ready, and it must then pass on out without being digested at all. If you feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic the stomach digestion will be more rapid and complete and the animal will be able to get all the nutrition. We guarantee Gold Coin Horse Tonic to save 15 to 25 per cent of feed and prevent diseases. If you have never used it, write to us and test it on our guar- antee- Typical Coacli Horse. SELLING HORSES.

The plow team needs education just as much as a good carriage team. They should be taught to respond to the word as well as to the rein, and few realize how easy it is to teach horses to answer to the word. It is a genuine pleasure to plow with a well educated and powerful plow team. They know almost as well as you do what is required of them and will go ahead with their work like machines, turning at the end of a fur- row in just the right waj^ starting the plow in with a slow, steady pull and keeping to the line, with only a low word spoken now and then to indicate what you want. Of course, they ought to have proper resting spells. You can never make time with a horse by urging him on after his muscles begin to ache. To select a good Perche- ron or Clyde sire and a good vigorous dam of about the same size is an easy matter. What bet- ter investment can a farmer make than to raise some good colts for a plow team every year. Gold Coin Horse Tonic makes colts grow rapidlj^ and become large-boned, hard muscled and un- tiring horses. Gold Coin Horse Tonic keeps the lungs strong. It prevents pneumonia. "CONDITION" YOUR BREEDERS FOR SALE. If you are preparing any horses to sell for high prices as breeders, feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It will give them a fine finish and bring you a higher price. A 50-cent package of Gold Coin Horse Tonic will often increase the selling price of a horse $25 to $50. If you have a horse or other animal for sale feed him Gold Coin Horse Tonic for a while. It's a wonder. A secret worth knowing — Gold Coin Horse Tonic not only saves veterinary bills, but it saves 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. It's a money maker. There is nothing on earth that will make a broken down, used up and half-starved horse gain weight and strength like Gold Coin Horse Tonic and in a short time he develops out of all recognition. Such horses, if not permanently dam- aged, soon more than pay the little extra cost of 15 cents a month. They gain in weight, health and strength and put on a fine, glossy coat that gives them a style and appearance that makes them sellers on the market.

If for some reason the farm horses should all play out, there could be no plowing-, no planting, and hence no crops. And this would mean starvation to the city people. Keep your farm horses fat, it gives them better value, if you want to sell them', and gives them better weight to pull with.. Farm horses are usually a mixed breed, but if they are good size, intelligent and know the duties of a farm horse they always bring good prices. No farmer with two or more horses can afford NOT to feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It keeps the horse healthy, purifies the blood, and aids digestion. We guarantee that it will make a saving of at least 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. And this means a great deal if you should have ten or twelve horses on your farm.- We are glad to see all farmers make money and if we can help you make it by the use of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, which we guarantee will make you an increase of 15 to 25 per cent more than you have ever made before, we will be glad to help you. Write us direct. SELLING HORSES. In selling horses you always want them to appear to their best advantage, at least, at the time of sale. Put a run down horse on Gold Coin Horse Tonic for 30 to 60 days, and it will often double the selling price of the animal. Feed it to almost any horse, say 30 days or so, before the sale and it will often add $25.00 to $50.00 to the selling price. A wonderful improve- ment always takes place when you use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. This is an important hint for all horse dealers to know. A purchaser will always try to cut your price if your horse is not sleek and fat. It won't take 25c worth of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to make the horse look worth $50.00 more. In Pollevil use Gold Medal Condition Powders to keep up the constitutional strength. You are losing money if you are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 107 Pure Bred Perclieron^Ovmed SIZE OF HORSES. It has been shown that as a rule the larger the horse the more powerful he is, and the more work he can do, and keep well and healthy. In breeding for size it must be remembered that the feet of heavy horses have to stand a much greater strain than those of lighter weight so that the feet must be kept in mind and no mare or stallion breeding into a line of heavy horses should be chosen if there is any serious tendency to hoof disease, or other foot trouble. There is no constitutional treatment that can compare with Gold Coin Horse Tonic in ele- vating the general health and thus making the feet also strong and tough, by improving the horn of hoof and keeping the frog and the glands healthy and active. Of course, when hoofs are positively diseased they should also receive proper local treatment, which you will find referred to under diseases of the horse. Another thing, large employers of draft horses want them intelligent, active and with lots of nerve and ambition; the disposition also de- serves attention, for a vicious draft horse is worthless. The life and health of a colt, and therefore, its size, is dependent on many things. If your mare is gaunt and thin at serving, or the stallion is exhausted, the colt is at a disadvantage from the very moment of his conception. Those initial forces of life which determine the vigor and dis- ease-resisting powers of the mature animal, are weakened and the foal gets a bad start. It is true that by careful after-handling the colt may make a good horse, but he will ever have a weak spot somewhere that will break down when he is put to severe tests. Nature makes wild animals breed in By McLiaughlin Bros., Columbus, O. the springtime. Why? Because the mothers have all summer ahead of them when feed is abundant and they pass the nourishment on to their off- spring. Take the hint. Feed your mares plentifully when carrying foals and do not leave them to feed only pasture. Teach them to come regularly to the barn or feed box to get a feed of grain and Gold Coin Horse Tonic and you need have no worry as to the resulting colt. It will be strong and grow vigorously. The hint should be further followed and the mare should be in good condi- tion when served. Feed her Gold Coin Horse Tonic before time and all during the time. Surely it is to your own interest to keep your brood- mares in perfect condition all the time, since you can do so by feeding them less grain if you use a small amount of Gold Coin Horse Tonic and do it at a net saving. If you feed 96 cents less oats and 15 cents worth of Gold Coin Horse Tonic you have saved 81 cents a head per month, and your horse is in better condition. Remem- ber we guarantee every statement we make to be based on acutal experiment and constant experi- ence. By following our advice if you are breedmg for size you can count on attaining your desired results and avoiding the chances of disappoint- ment. To breed profitably requires great care and judgment, but with scientific feeding you can get as good results as the great horse breeders who themselves are successful because they give heed to scientific feeding and use Gold Coin Horse Tonic constantly in their stables. It keeps horses in perfect condition, and in exhibition form, fat, sleek, shiny, healthy and active; and always ready for a possible purchaser at a high price. 108 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago. Typical German Coach Horse. ECONOMICAL FEEDING. The greatest possible economy in feeding cannot be obtained unless Gold Coin Horse Tonic is used in the regular feeding of your horses. We absolutely guarantee you that 15 to 25 per cent of the feed you have always given can be saved and still keep your horse in better condition than ever before. This can be readily understood when it is remembered that few animals have perfect digestion, and often allow as much as 35 per cent of feed go through them undigested. It is not what your horse eats that makes flesh and fat, but what it digests. If you have never tried Gold Coin Horse Tonic as an aid in saving grain, write us at once, and we will be glad to have you test it on our guarantee. To feed it you simply mix it in, or sprinkle it on the regular grain feed. When buying a horse always see him both standing and in motion. If you are buying a speeder see him do a mile under the watch. There is no other way to see for yourself just what he can do. The farm horse deserves the best feeding you can afford, and you can afford to give none but the bestr Feed him on Gold Coin Horse Tonic. Do not lose a single chance to make your breeding pay, and while little things may turn the scale the right way, Gold Coin Horse Tonic affords a big chance that it will pay. BUYING A HORSE THE GOOD AND BAD POINTS. ■ Do not pay an unblemished price for a blemished animal. A sound horse stands squarely on his four feet, moving only when necessary; if the navicular bone has been affected he throws the foot forward -with the toe jointing to the ground and heel raised ; laminites, founder or sprain of back sinews, makes the horse raise the toe and rest the heel on the ground, or a weakness or tenderness that might develop into serious trouble will cause the same sign ; if the kidneys are affected or the loins weak, the animal will spread his legs ; if he has been injured permanently by pulling or hard driving, he will be knee sprung, that is, the forelegs will be bent at the knees and trembling and un- steady; if he has hoof disease, it will show in the frog and horn of the hoof, it should not be contracted, split, scaly or badly formed; if injured by kicking or viciousness his legs will be scarred; if the eye is weak it w^ill be watery or if blind- ness threatens the eye will show a bluish film; teeth should be sound without decay and unbroken and set firmly in the jaw; look to his breathing under work or speed for signs of lung or heart weakness. If you keep these points in mind as belonging to horses of all kinds regardless of breed and then select the best marked samples of the breed you want you can't go very far wrong in buying a horse, and if he is thin, although he may not look so well, if it is not due to disease or constitutional inability to lay on flesh, it need not stand in the way of purchase, though you ought to pay less than for the same animal in good flesh. In a short time, if 3^ou feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic, you can put the horse in prime condition. It only costs you "4 feeds for a cent." When you buy horses never fail to give them a regular supply of Gold Coin Horse Tonic at once, in order to clean them out thoroughly and thus prevent any diseases they may have from spreading mi among your othei stock. Not o n » horse in ten ha*- correct digestion but if you will feeri them Gold Coin Horse Tonic, thcA will soon be equa to your other Gold Coin fed animals There is no horse food made that can com- pare vnth Gold Coin Horse Tonic in nutrient value; remedial virtues; disease preventing quali- ties and cheapness.

I use Gold Coin Horse Tonic 'all the-year-round.' It pays big.' You Will Be a Successful Breeder if \ou Use Gold Com Horse Tonic ABOUT HORSE BREEDING. If you are a breeder, or intend to become one. you will find that Gold Coin Horse Tonic will do more towards making you a successful breeder than any other one thing. Test this statement in any way you please. In a thirty-day test weigh your horses, keep track of amount of. feed and amount of work done, whatever the kind of work, field, road or track, on the ordinary diet for thirty days, then get some reliable judge to say what he thinks the horse or horses ought to bring in the open market. Weigh your horses again, and put them on Gold Coin Horse Tonic in connection with a 25 per cent drop in amount of ordinary feed. After thirty days .figure cost of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, which will be about 10 or 15 cents per head for the thirty days; figure value of other feed saved, weigh your horses and compare them in weight at the beginning of the thirty days; figure amount of work done as nearly as yo.u can and get another different judge to put a price on your horses in presence of the first judge and let the latter say if it is not fair. You will be perfectly amazed at the result. You will find you have made an outlay of 10 to 15 cents per head, saved 40 to 90 cents worth of oats per head. You got more work and tired your horses less and increased the market value enough to buy Gold Coin Horse Tonic for several years, or on a $200.00 horse you raise his price to $250.00. Compare, leaving out hay and other fodder. First Thirty Days. 360 Quarts of oats at 32c per bushel $3.60 60 feeds of Gold Coin Horse Tonic 15 Second Thirty Days. 270 quarts of oats, about 90 feeds of Gold Coin Horse Tonic. .$2.70 . .15 Cost ; $2.85 Weight of horse, pounds 1,050 360 hours' work, $72.00; gain $6.00 Value of horse, $250.00; gain. . . .$50.00 Amount made $56.90 We do not claim that these will be your fig- ures, but suppose for argument's sake, we split the gain in half, measured in dollars and cents, and call it $28.45, and suppose you have 10 horses and called the gain in 30 days $284.50. Don't you think that is a great return for an outlay of $1.50? Of course, it is. That is why we say no breeder ought to dream of going ahead in the old way when Gold Coin Horse Tonic produces results like this. If you are preparing any horses for export trade be sure to fatten thern before shipping. Otherwise the shrinkage from the long voyage may greatly reduce your profit. Kentucky horsemen endorse Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It keeps fine blooded horses in a far more healthy condition than they could be without it It keeps the digestion in such perfectly healthy condition.

Sell to one firm of deal- ers in your nearest city or have a good list of firms using horses in their business. Then raise the best possible stock with the means and facil- ities you have and be honest. Deal fairly always. If you have a horse with a hidden blemish or de- fect of form or disposition tell your customer openly. If you are going to be sucessful y^ou will have to do this, for it is only by finding your horses exactly as you represent them that men will acquire confidence in you, and once your customers acquire this confidence, they will gladly pay more than the market price for any- of your horses because they know what you say is right. The day is passed when men prosper by sharp and underhanded methods of doing business, and in the horse business this is truer than in any other. You can go into any community and buy a horse of a breeder nowadays and the animal will be exactly as the horseman represents, nine times out of ten. To sell at high prices the horses should be in their condition of conditions. Fat horses sell bet- ter than thin ones. Bear it in mind. To get your horses in good marketable condition and keep them so at the least expense of time, trouble and grain, you should feed them Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It makes them digest all they eat. In the sale stables, in the public sale ring, by private purchase or in the search for horses by government agents the fat horse is sold readily while the thin one is haggled over and his price beaten down, although he may be a better horse than his fat brother. The hint in this is too strong to be neglected. Fatten your sale horses. Gold Coin Horse Tonic fattens them quickly, surely and cheaply and gives them a style, life and finish that adds more dollars to their price at a sale than we dare mention for fear of being ac- cused of exaggeration. These are all positive facts easily verified and guaranteed by us or money refunded without a qaestion asked. The horse that has had good care during the winter will more than pay for his winter's keep by the extra work he can do the first week of spring plowing.

Thousands of stockmen in all sections of this country, and in England and Canada, are saving from 15 to 25 per cent of their actual feed every day — how? They do it by following the new scientific method of feeding as performed by Gold Coin Horse Tonic. This remarkable medicated food contains a substance that has such excel- lent action upon the stomach of the horse, that it causes 15 to 25 per cent more food to be di- gested than ever before. It is considered by many stock raisers to be one of the greatest inventions of the age. As an intelligent farmer, you must have no- ticed in the past 25 years the rapid stride made in improved machinery, as self binders, reapers, etc. In city life, electric street cars, bicycles, etc. You have also followed the improvements in breeds of stock. And you have no doubt be- lieved that some day improvements in feeding would also be invented. Gold Coin Horse Tonic has completely changed the old line of feed- ing. No intelligent farmer of today ever thinks of feeding a cow or horse, or even his hogs, without mixing in a measureful of Gold Coin Special Stock Food to create perfect digestion and assimilation. Every time you feed like this it means a saving of 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. It is a well known fact that not one horse in ten has perfect digestion, about 15 to 35 per cent of the food eaten by such horses passes through them and is wasted. Gold Coin Horse Tonic creates greater digestion. It digests all the food eaten; stops all the waste, and saves the stock- man 15 to 25 per cent of feed. That is scientific feedingf. If you wish to secure a supply of Gold Coin Horse Tonic write us direct and we will quote you prices on bulk. Do not confuse this new scientific preparation with the old fashioned condition powders which were composed of strychnine, arsenic, and other injurious drugs; nor with the old stvled stock foods which have usually oroven valueless. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is not merely a medicine pure and simple (though it is better than most horse medicines). But it is '■trictly a Tonic so prepared as to increase diges- tion and improve the vitality of any horse to which it is given. It is made to be fed regularly as any food should be. A weak, ill-conditioned, unthrifty horse can be put in "condition" and be made a permanently good horse by giving him Gold Coin Horse Tonic. We want to see you make extra money and if the new "Gold Coin" method will help you, we will be glad to ship you some at once. Yours for increase of profits. GOLD~COIN~STOCKFOOD CO.

Thousands of horses are sold and bought every month at the Union Stock Yards, Chicago. Many are sent abroad to foreign countries. England buys many thousands of American horses every year. When visiting the Stock Yards do not fail to visit the Horse Market, v;here as high as a hundred sales are made in one hour. It is common to see a man buy an $800 team in a half minute. FAT HORSES ALWAYS SELL BEST. Horses look best when fat. A great many buyers won't buy a horse unless fat The fact that a horse is fat is a good point in his favor. There is always some haggling about the price if a horse is thin, though he may be perfectly sound in every other way. One of the handsome features of a horse is its fat, well-rounded body. A thin horse placed on the market alongside of a fat horse will have to sell for less than the fat one, probably as much as $30 to $60 less, though he is of the same breed, size and action. In getting your horses ready for sale always fatten them, because a great many people think all fat horses are good ones. There is nothing in the world that will fatten horses as quickly as Gold Coin Horse Tonic. We often hear from users of Gold Coin Horse Tonic that a 50-cent box fat- tened a horse so that they sold it for from $25 Jro $50 more than they were offered for it before it was fattened. It will certainly pay you to feed your horses 30 to 60 days on Gold Coin Horse Tonic before selling them. It will only cost you a few cents, and give you a very large extra profit. FEEDING MULES. Gold Coin Horse Tonic is a great thing for mules. A pail or two of it will prove to you what a scientific medicated food can do. And what an improvement it is over the old method of feeding. ASSES AND MULES. These hardy animals have been the butt of much undeserved ridicule. They are tough, strong, willing and very intelligent. For many years their breeding was confined to the South- ern States, but as their value has become more and more appreciated, their breeding has become more common, until to-day some of the best Jack breeding farms are North as well as South. Many fine, large animals are bred. It is the mule's rep- utation that he can live on what a horse will re- fuse to eat. All the same, he is infinitely more profitable when fed properly, and if given a daily feed of Gold Coin Horse Tonic, he blossoms out into a really fine and handsome beast. He responds kindly to the gentle nurture of his aris- tocratic relative, the horse, and will put dollars into your pocket where you spend pennies to feed him Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It is this idea of increasing your profits that we ask you to keep in mind in connection with Gold Coin Horse Tonic. Of course, humane men like to have their ani- mals live well and enjoy their feed, but horses and mules are kept, raised and worked for profit, and it is on the right side of the ledger after all that the great value of Gold Coin Horse Tonic shows in increasing your profits from any and all kinds of equine beasts. STIFLE-JOINT LAMENESS:— Bathe well two or three times a day with Gold Coin Heal- ing Oil and give the animal Gold Medal Condi- tion Powder, three times a day, as these animals are usually run dowri in health.

JBvery farmer slioald kno^r hoT^ to treat and cure all common diseases of Horses. CHAPPED HOCKS AND ELBOWS. The elbows and hocks sometimes become cal- loused and if nothing is done often develops into a large, bad looking swelling. Use Gold Coin Re- solvent, rub thoroughly on the swelling twice a day and give the horse abundance of bedding, so as to prevent bruising of the joints. Gold Coin Horse Tonic purifies the blood and favors quick healing. It is a food as well as a medicine. Horses eat less and get more good out of their feed. It saves 15 to 25 per cent of the feed. We guarantee it. Write us. THOROUGHPIN. This trouble usually accompanies blood spavin. There is a puffed, swollen condition in front of the hock. Rub it thoroughly twice a day with Gold Coin Resolvent. As a rule it does not cause lameness. Blistering does no good. SPLINT. This is a very common trouble. It is usually due to a strain or injury on the cannon bone. While forming it usually causes lameness, but after it becomes hard it gives no trouble. While tender and inflamed rub well with Gold Coin Re- solvent. Some cases take longer than others. give Gold Coin Horse Tonic (4 feeds for one cent) to keep the horse in good condition. It favors quick healing. SPRAINS OF THE BACK TENDONS OF THE FORELEGS. This is a very common trouble. It is usually caused by fast driving. The tendons of the fore legs become strained and somewhat contracted. Remove the shoes at once and shoe in such a way as to raise the heels. Give the entire forelegs a thorough rubbing with Gold Coin Resolvent each time after using and bandage as tightly as the tenderness will permit. Feed your horse Gold Coin Horse Tonic to strengthen the constitution or you will soon have a knee-sprung horse — one- quarter his value. CURE OF THRUSH. Thrush is where the frog of the foot becomes rotten and ulcerated. There is a dark colored, bad smelling discharge. Thrush is usually caused by uncleanliness of the feet. The filth remaining there so long that it caused rot by exclusion of the air. It usually occurs in the front feet of geldings and hind feet of mares. Thrush can always be quickly cured by the use of Gold Coin Foot Rem- edy. Full directions for the cure printed on every can. Feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times a day with the regular feed, to keep up the consti- tutional strength. GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC. 4 Feeds for a Cent.

In this disease a hard lump forms on the inner side of the hock joint. The inflammation, stiffness and deposit of bony substance hinders free action, causing lameness. It is usually caused by a strain. The lameness disappears after driv- ing the horse for a while. If treatment is begun at the start it can usually be cured. Bathe the parts for two hours in hot water twice a day and then apply Gold Coin Resolvent to keep down the inflammation. Give complete rest until all tender- ness is removed, and turn the animal to grass for six to twelve weeks. It is well to put all spavined horses on Gold Coin Horse Tonic three times a day in their regular feed. This will keep up the constitutional strength of the animal; from prac- tical experience we know that blistering and burn- ing rarely cures. It does cure bog spavin, but not true bone spavin. Yet blistering often cures the lameness, but does not remove the bony growth or spavin. STONE BRUISES. Sometimes a sharp stone gets caught under the edge of the shoe and causes tenderness and in- flammation. Take out the stone and apply Gold Coin Foot Remedy freely to the sore spot and bottom of the foot t hree to fi ve times a day. Paying results from our Foods is what built up our enormous business. This is caused by the secretion of too much synovial fluid into the synovial sack at the hock joint. It is caused by inflammation and causes considerable enlargement of the joint. Gold Coin Resolvent will reduce the inflammation, absorb the fluid and cure the spavin in every instance, much better than with blisters or burning. BLOOD SPAVIN. Blood spavin and bog spavin are usually com- panions. The treatment is the same. Faithful use of Gold Coin Resolvent will efifect a cure. Give the horse Gold Medal Condition Powders to get the horse in the best condition and thus favor healing. RING BONE. 'ihis is an enlargement of bone around the joint, caused usually by sprain or injury. When it occurs under the coronet it often becomes very large, causing lameness. Gold Coin Resolvent is the best treatment that can be used if begun early. When the disease has reached the second stage put the horse on three regular feeds a day of Gold Coin Horse Tonic to keep up good gen- eral health and favor healing. It wont remove the ring, but the horse will be sound enough for all practical purposes. You may use a blister. It helps sometimes.

If "scratches" are not attended to they often cause grease heel by infection. In a great many cases a run down constitution and poor blood seems to be connected with this disease. If that is the case keep the horse in a warm, dry, clean, well bedded stall. Bathe the ankles freely with Gold Coin Healing Oil and apply Gold Coin Foot Remedy over the hoofs inside and out. Keep the greasy discharge washed from the Heelo, wipe dry and apply Gold Coin Healing Oil freely. For the constitution and blood give extra large feed of Gold Medal Condition Powders three times a day. Such treatment will build* up the system and cure the animal. Besides it saves oats. We guarantee every pound. Write to us. OPEN JOINTS. In severe cases there is a discharge of pus and synovial fluid from the joint. It is always advisable to call veterinary surgeons in these cases, as a neglect usually causes death. Never drive a heated horse into the river or other water or throw a bucket of water over the body. Rheumatism, pneumonia and other dis- eases may result. KNEE SPRUNG. If due to an injury begin the use of Gold Coin Resolvent at once. It has cured many such cases. As a rule but very little can be done for this trouble. It is sometimes congenital. In severe cases it completely ruins the horse, for it makes him stumble and fall from the least cause, sometimes even when standing undis- turbed. This falling on the knees is liable to cause "Broken Knee or Open Joint." Feed Gold Coin Horse Tonic regularly so your horses will get the full benefit of their feed and get strong constitutions so they can stand hard work. It pays to use Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It prevents diseases and saves oats. FISTULOUS WITHERS. Almost every case of fistulous withers re- quires the services of a veterinary surgeon. If not bad bathe the parts with a solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer, squeeze out the pus and wash thoroughly again and apply Gold Coin Healing Oil. This treatment has cured a number of cases. Your horse's feet make locomotion possible and constitute the value of your horse. Gold Coin Foot Remedy cures hoof diseases and all lameness due to hoof troubles. 116 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago. The Principal Landmarlcs of tlie Horse. a. Muzzle. b.

It is only done by dishonest men who have an incurably lame horse w^hich they want to sell. Cutting the nerve deadens the feeling at the foot so that even though the foot is sore and tender the horse steps on it as though he was not lame. To all appearances such a horse seems perfectly sound. But beware of such horses, because it is only a matter of time before the whole foot becomes an ulcerated sore and the entire animal is ruined. The nerves are usually cut three to five inches above the fetlock. In buying horses that you fear have been nerved be sure to test them by sticking them with a pin or knife below the fetlock to see if they feel it. BROKEN KNEES. This is not as severe as Open Joints, but means more particularly a cracking of the skin or a tearing of the membranes or ligiments over the knee joints. Use Gold Coin Healing Oil freely and it will cure most cases and prevent thickness of the joint. There is usually some other disease which causes the stumbling, as knee sprung, etc. All horses need a condition food like Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It keeps them in perfect health and spirit. WIND-GALLS. This is a soft, puffy tumor about the size of a hickory nut, usually found near the fetlock joint in the foreleg. They are usually firm when the foot is down. As a rule they do not cause lame- ness. In old cases they become hard and some- times produce permanent lameness. Gold Coin Resolvent should be rubbed on to them thor- oughly twice a day and then bandaged tightly. In colts bathe the fetlocks freely with cold water, wipe them dry and apply Gold Coin Re- solvent freely. Bandage the legs. Give Gold Coin Horse Tonic. It purifies the blood and favors healing. SWEENY. Sweeny is detected by lameness and a ten- dency to drag the foreleg. It is due to a wast- ing of the shoulder muscles. Injuries to the shoulder are the common cause. Gold Coin Healing Oil should be rubbed into the shoulders thoroughly twice a day. Don't work the animal while under treatment, but it should have some exercise every day. Give Gold Coin Horse Tonic regularlv. It is a great muscle builder. Its bene- ficial influence on the muscular system helps greatly in the case of Sweeny. It is a great pre- ventative for Sweeny. Your horses will always be willing to work if fed on Gold Coin Horse Tonic.

Quittor is the breaking out of sores at the upper part of the hoof, usually the result of a nail injury or corn.. The first symptoms are lameness with some swelling at the coronet. If allowed to run, pus will form and break through the swelling giving a discharge of matter. Sometimes canals or pipes will shoot out in several directions, giv- ing a very bad foot, in which case it should be opened at once and injected- thoroughly with a good healing lotion. Gold Coin Germ Killer four tablespoonfuls to a quart of warm water makes a good injection in these cases. But as soon as lameness begins, in the very start of the disease, apply Gold Coin Healing Oil very thor- oughly four or five times a day at the top of the hoof as well as underneath. This will usually effect a cure. Some very bad cases require the assistance of a veterinary surgeon. COCKED ANKLES-KNUCKLING. In this disease the fetlocks become knuckled over.

While inflammation is present there is lameness, but when it becomes chronic there is usually no lameness. Curb can usually be cured if prompt attention is given in the be- ginning. Give the animal absolute rest, raise the heel and rub thoroughly twice a day with Gold Coin Resolvent. This usually cures in one to two weeks. In serious cases in the chronic stage it is sometimes advisable to blister or use the firing iron, but it is best for a A^eterinary sur- geon to do it. CORNS ON THE FEET. Corns usually come from contraction of the foot or from improper shoeing — that is, uneven pressure of the shoe. If there is too-much pressure on the quarters and heel it allows the soft parts underneath to be- come bruised and results in a corn. Corns can al- ways be cured by timely use of Gold Coin Foot Remedy, and proper shoeing. You can't neglect corns, as they cause lameness. GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC .

DISEASES OF THE HORSE (Continued). FOUNDER. This disease may come from overwork, conges- tion or inflammation of the feet or from som~e in- ternal disease as congestion of the lungs, inflam- mation of the bowels, and sometimes by drinking cold water while the horse is warm. The scientific name is Laminitis. THE SYMPTOMS.— The horse constantly tries to throw his weight on his back feet, he re- fuses to lift his feet; he seems in great pain and is unable to back. It usually afifects the forelegs, but it may affect any. TREATMENT. — If feverishness appears give twelve drops of tincture of aconite root in a half a pint of water three times a day for two or three days. Remove the shoes from the horse and soak the feet for two hours in hot water. Then wipe them thoroughly dry and bathe the legs from knee down three times a day with Gold Coin Healing Oil, but do not bandage the legs. Use Gold Coin Foot Remedy freely all over the hoofs both inside and outside four times a day. Keep up this treatment until the horse is cured. If it is a bad case it may take from forty to sixty days. "As the horse's feet feel sore and weak he will have a tendency to lie down most of the time, so keep the stall well bedded with straw. Feed bran mashes, hay ©r grass. Give plenty of cold water to drink as it helps to relieve the fever. Give the horse "Gold Medal Condition Powder," a table- spoonful, three times a day in his feed as long as he is sick, it is important. Then begin the reg- ular feeding of Gold Coin Horse Tonic.

If there is room enough saturate a piece of tow with our Foot Remedy and keep it against the hoof all the time until well. Seedy toe is usually caused by the clip of the shoe being accidentally pounded into the foot, thus bruising the hoof, which often causes a dry rot. Always attend to these little injuries at once or the horse will run down. INJURIES FROM NAILS. A horse may step on a nail and be suddenly lamed, or the nail from the shoe may have been so driven as to touch the sensitive part of the foot. Whenever your horse becomes suddenly lame ex- amine the foot. If you find a nail pull it out at once so it won't get broken ofif in the foot. Clean out the hole well with hot water, then wipe it dry and pour Gold Coin Healing Oil over the sole of the foot and into the hole. Hold the foot up for a while so as to let it soak in, and thus keep down inflammation. Send us your testimonials, we appreciate them, and will publish your opinion in our new book.

Let the horse have all the water he wants to drink, not too cold, but cool, and feed lightly on grain with a tablespoonful of Gold Medal Con- dition Powders.

In inflammation of the bladder and kidneys, the animal has colicky pains, painful and frequent urination (passing of water), looks around at his flanks, later profuse sweating, and pain over kid- neys, quick pulse, fever, and the horse takes an attitude similar to that shown in the above pic- ture. There is extreme pain or pressure over the loins, and a straddling of the hind legs when walked. It is commonly caused by the giving of strong drugs as Rosin, Saltpetre, Turpentine, Croton Oil, etc. If tiie case is very severe, call a veterinary, [his disease Is dangerous to life. TREATMENT.— Keep the horse in a warm stable, well blanketed and wrap woolen cloths around loins. Give at once: Gold Medal Condition Powder, one tablespoonful.

NAVICULAR TROUBLE (LAMENESS). THE SYMPTOMS. There is a slight lame- ness when you first take the animal out of the barn, but which disappears after the animal trav- els a while. Navicular disease is very likely to be the trouble whenever there is an obscure lameness in either of the front feet. It may be caused by a sprain; by a bruise on the frog; by stepping on a stone; by contraction of the hoofs; by improper shoeing; by cutting away the frog so much that it does not touch the ground and other injuries. TREATMENT.— Use Gold Coin Healing Oil twice a day from the knee down, but do not band- age afterwards. Wash the foot in hot water thoroughly, wipe dry and apply Gold Coin Foot Remedy freely all over the hoof inside and out- side four times a day. Do not work the horse un- til all lameness disappears.

Signs and Symptoms of Blood Poison. GLANDERS AND FARCY. These diseases are contagious, constitutional diseases due to a special bacterium. The poison generated by the bacteria is absorbed and carried all over the body. When this disease attacks the lungs, lymphatic glands and nose, it is called the glanders; and called farcy when it is confined to the legs. The same bacteria causes both diseases, the difiference of symptoms being due to the dif- ference of location. Symptoms are as follows in glanders: Fever with quickened pulse; weeping eyes; discharging nose, first thin and watery, changing to yellow and smelling very bad; lining of nostrils purple; hair gummed together where discharge strikes it, and discharge sink-s in water; glands swell under the jaw and form and break on partition of nose, making ulcers which spread, unite and eat away the lining; there is coughing and sneezing, poor appetite and loss of weight. Farcy symptoms are: Swelling on legs along long wavy lymphatic ducts which break out in ulcers, discharge a foul smelling matter, crust over and dry up and gradually spread till legs, body and neck are a mass of running or scabby ulcers. The instant a horse shows signs of glanders or farcy, isolate him in a pen by him- self, or warm shed in winter, and send for a veterinary surgeon. The instant you know for sure the horse has either disease, shoot him and burn the carcass with the shed or pen he was in. Not only will the virus infect your other horses, but may attack people as well any time inside of a year or eighteen months, so virulent is the poison. There is no other treatment safe or of the least value besides instant death and total destruction by fire. Why not have your horses look as well and be as valuable as any one's? WORMS. GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC The World's Greatest Horse Food. Keeps the kidneys and bladder healthy. GOLD COIN HORSE TONIC The Farmer's Friend. Saves corn, oats and fodder. There are many different kinds of worms that give trouble to horses. Some of them grow to a length of four feet and more, others are very small. They enter the stomach and are often quite dangerous. Symptoms of Worms: Like in "bots," the horse becomes "pot-bellied." The hair becomes dry and rough, and the appetite ravenous. The horse will gnaw at the manger and rub its upper lip against the wall or posts. Treatment: ISIever neglect the horse in this condition. There is no need for any horse to suffer from worms one day because we absolutely guarantee Gold Coin Worm Powder to expel worms of all kinds quickly and safely, and it also contains ingredients that will tone up the stomach and cure the disturbance which allowed the for- mation of worms in the stomach. It is a safe and positive cure and we cheerfully refund the money in any case if it ever fails. Write to us. Full directions for treatment given on every package. BOTS. As every one knows, all horses that run to pasture have bots in their stomach, but they are not dangerous unless they accumulate in large quantities. They are caused by the gad fly de- positing its eggs among the hair on the forelegs of the horse. The itching causes the horse to bite at the spot, thus the eggs get into his mouth where the heat and moisture hatches them and they pass down into the stomach where, with two little hooks, they attach themselves to the walls of the stomach and often hang there for months. Horses seriously affected with bots become "pot-bellied," their coat of hair becomes rough and they lose flesh. Give them a good dose of Gold Coin Worm Powder. It expels all bots and worms, corrects the digestion and puts the stomach in a het^lthy condition. Use Gold Coin Worm Powder for worms in any of your animals. It is perfectly safe and a sure cure. Gold Coin Horse Tonic fed regularly prevents worms. Use it regularly, it also saves you 15 to 25 per cent of feed. We guarantee paying re- sult^.

Never show nervousness on your own part or whip the horse after shying, on the contrary, show him what he shyed at will not injure him. If you whip or jerk him when he shys he will soon come to fear that every time he shys he will be whipped and this will make him doubly scared. Handle him with common sense and teach him to overcome his fears. Never jerk or whip any horse whether they have a fight to be scared or not, for if he once comes to believe that he will be whipped every time he shys he will soon be almost un- manageable. STRING HALT. There is usually no use trying to cure this affliction as it is a nervous disease. The best re- sults will be obtained by giving the legs from the hip down a thorough rubbing twice a day with Gold Coin Resolvent and keeping the hoof and frog well painted with Gold Coin Foot Remedy to keep it from getting diseased by the excessive pounding. Gold Coin Horse Tonic acts on the nervous system and greatly benefits these horses so it can hardly be noticed. THE CHEAPEST INSURANCE ON YOUR LIVESTOCK.

Over $500,000,000.00 Worth of Poultry Consumed in the U. S. Yearly. Government statistics show that the yearly egg produce is $300,000,000 and the poultry meat is over $200,000,000 making poultry produce over $500,000,000 annually. This is more than the value of the wheat crop or oats, corn and hay combined, and yet we have to import poultry produce from Europe to supply the demand. Poultry raisers and farmers, you should consider this. Notice the profits, in poultry over wheat: Wheat doesn't always clear $5.00 an acre af- ter you take out the cost of harvesting, etc. Corn, oats, and hay are not much better. But grant that in a successful year your wheat netted clear profit $5.00 per acre, the difference in favor of your acre of hens at almost their worst would be $495. Five hundred hens can be kept on an acre of land. Each hen will produce $1.00 to $2.00 a year, that is $500 to $1,000 and if managed suc- cessfully should easily net $500 clear profits, a diflference of $495 in favor of hens. I know of poultry raisers whose hens produce an average of $3 a year. ilie poultry business is now just coming un- der the same conditions which revolutionized the meat industry in the last 25 years. Cold storage and refrigerator transportations are opening pos- sibilities in poultry production and distribution" that will tremendously increase the importance of the industry in the next ten years. Under old conditions poultry consumed in any section of the country was of local production because chickens could not stand long shipments in the living state, with refrigeration will come a change, both in production and distribution. Pro- duction instead of being confined to localities in ready touch with markets, will concentrate in the districts wherc^poultry can be produced most cheaply. In other words the center of production as in the case of beef, will be near the grain fields and especially in the corn belt. In the past chick- ens have either been shipped alive to market. cen- ters, to be killed just before being offered to the consumers, or killed on the farm and shipped to the commission man for immediate disposition. From an economic standpoint either method is wasteful. The by-products in the shape of feath- ers and internal organs are practica-lly wasted. Chicken slaughter on a large scale is already practiced at Western points like Chicago, Omaha and Kansas City, where Armour and Swift and other great meat packers are engaging in the business with their wealth of money, experience, and facilities for distribution. On the scale on which these operations are conducted, the chances of economy in utilizing of by-products are so great that these operators can offer prices for chickens which cannot be met by local buyers and commission shippers. These big packing concerns have regular routes over which chicken cars are run at stated intervals, gathering up fowls from local buyers. The Slaughter is continuous without regard to immediate market demand, the surplus being stored in refrigeration to be drawn against at those seasons when the supply of live fowls is small. This tends to equalize conditions throughout the whole year. This new branch of the packing industry will furnish, as in the case of cattle a steady market for all grades of poultry in any quantity and at all times, and the result will be that poultry raising will bring more profits to the small raiser as well- as the large raiser if they practice economy in feeding. It has come to this point, nowadays, that the poultry raiser, who does not use some reliable poultry food in feeding his chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese, during the winter and spring months at least, cannot compete' with his neigh- bor that does. Grain, seeds, bran, etc., cost money, and if you can double the feeding value of these feeds, by using a small quantity of poul- try food to mix with the feeding rations it will pay you to investigate the matter and try it. Gold Coin Poultry Food has the endorsement of many of the largest poulterers in the East and West. It was reported during the month of January, 1903, that over 1,000,000 pounds of dressed poul- try was in cold storage in the city of Indianapolis, Ind., waiting the spring trade. Half the amount was held by New York dealers. Turkeys com- posed about one-half the supply and the specu- lators who had them in storage expected to get an average of 30 cents a pound for them next March. This immense stock was bought up chiefly from the local poultry raisers. The following pages are devoted to money mak- ing in Poultry, and will be valuable to any Poultry raiser. All the pictures are selected, by permission, from the U. S. Agriculture Dept., to illustrate the various breeds, etc. • 12S Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago.

FEEDING FOR EGGS. Feeding is an important subject to poultry raisers. All who make any pretense of keeping pace with the advance "of science learns and reads of something new almost every day in the diet of poultry and cattle as well as people. In this day and age, with everybody striving to be in the lead one must use extraordinary measures to keep even with his intelligent neighbors. You must know just what and how to feed to make hens lay — or to make them fat — or to make them strong and vigorous (for breeders). But this little article is on feeding for eggs. "Feeding" for eggs is more important in winter than in summer, because all the eggs a hen lays must be formed from the food taken in. To stim- ulate and increase the formation of eggs the hen must be assisted by feeding the ingredients that go to the formation of the shells, the yolks, and the whites of eggs. Chemical science has discov- ered these ingredients, all of which are combined in our Special Poultry Food. Given a hen in a healthy condition, whether she is a regular layer or not, and put into her the ingredients that go to form eggs, and she has got to lay, just the same as the boiler of an engine in good condition with a given amount of water in it is bound to make steam if fire is placed under it. Just the same with poultry raising. You can make them lay or fatten them at will. HOW TO FEED FOR EGGS: Corn, wheat, oats, barley and millet seed wet up and mixed with a given quantity (one measure for each 15 hens) of Gold Coin Special Poultry Food and fed regularly three times a day will absolutely MAKE your hens lay — every one of them will lay, and they should lay every day, during their period. Gold Coin Poultry Food if fed regularly is an ideal food for laying hens. Grain food should be well scattered so as to make the chickens scratch for it, which tends to prevent too rapid eating or engorgement, and discourages laziness. Laying hens should not be lazy, and they should not be fat, they must be hard workers. The beauty of the above mixed grain is, that the grain and seeds go to make blood and tissue and the Gold Coin Poultry Food contains the in- gredients that turn every ounce of it into flesh and eggs. Gold Coin Poultry Food is guaranteed to be the cheapest because it goes the farthest. 1,500 feeds for 25c or 3,500 for 50c. A package of Gold Coin Poultry Food pays for itself in actual saving in two weeks time for each 15 hens. Your actual profits from it are increased many times.

Most breeders say that Leghorns are the very best breed of fowls to raise — they bring the most eggs. They are the best layers, and easiest to raise. But you must have a few of another breed for setting or use incubators to hatch the eggs. A large raiser of Leghorns reports that the use of Gold Coin Poultry Food increased the egg production in his flock 55 per cent. LAZY OR LOAFING HENS Are Made Good Layers, If fed on Gold Coin Poultry Food. It makes them lay because it puts the stuff in them that makes eggs, and they lay because they have to. WHITE LEGHORN. Why not save 15 to 25 per cent oh your feed- ing by using a scientific food like Gold Coin Poul- try Food. Turkeys should be made to roost under cover. If they roost outside they will be subject to roup and frosted feet. You are losing money if you are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 135 THE BLACK UNGSHAN. Fed on Gold Coin Poultry- Food, they are rapid growers, the cockerels usually weigh- ing 10 to 12 lbs. at 7 months, if fattened. Their rapid growth, combined with their great size and small bones, makes them a bird of great value to poulterers. The hens are good layers. Their eggs are large and rich. Their meat is excellent for so big a fowl. They were first bred in China. Golden Eggs. Your hens, together with all the other hens in Amer- ica, lay $300,000,000 a year. Do yours lay ev- ery day ? They'll pretty nearly do it if you use Gold Coin Poultry Food. BLACK LANGSHAN FOWLS. FOR SITTING HENS. Use Gold Coin Poultry Food Regularly. Setting is hard and patient work. It taxes the nervous system to the extreme. Give your setting hen a little care. Have water and moist ground food with our Special Poultry Food well mixed in it, always within reach. Sprinkle her back with Gold Coin Louse Killer once or twice, while she is setting, too many lice will drive her off the nest. Make your setting hen comfortable and you will get lots of little chicks. Gold Coin Poultry Food keps the setters in health, purifies the blood, keeps her calm and quiet, thus impart- ing greater and more continuous warmth to the eggs, insuring a hatching of every fertile egg. THE BLACK POLISH BREED. These birds need special at- tention in cold and damp weather. They are very do- mestic, and make good pets. If this bird is fed regularly on Gold Coin Poultry Food, it becomes the greatest of all layers. Some of our custom- ers report that she becomes an "everlasting" layer, win- ter and summer. Their i^s are large and rich, and of ex- cellent taste. This breed is very prolific, and reaches ma- turity early. They are poor foragers and must be fed reg- ularly. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full sized package and test it at our expense if it fails to give paying results. BLACK POLISH FOWLS. GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD IS CHEAPER THAN OTHER FOODS. If you will compare the number of feeds per pound — you willl see that our "FOOD" goes farther than any other food on the market. It is a food of the highest medicinal value, which makes it a food that need not be fed in large doses. A small dose scalded or made wet and mixed with the regular feed is all that is needed. It does the work and that it what you want. You cannot afford to buy a cheap food that has to be given by the scoop-shovelfuls. No results can be obtained by cheap stock foods, because they don't contain the proper ingredients. The tonic effect of Gold Coin Fattening Food aids digestion and assimilation, keeps the water clear, strengthens the kidneys and liver, so that every grain eaten will give the animal the most possible nutrition.

It puts the stuff in them that makes the eggs, and they lay simply because they have to. 136 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Uiiioii Stock Yards, Chicago. BLACK-TAILED JAPANESE BANTAM. BANTAMS. The principal varieties are Silver and Golden Seabright and White Japanese Bantam. These are not an unprofitable fowl to raise. Pure breeds always command good prices. The eggs, when sold for breeding purposes, always bring big profit. If you are a poulterer, we would cer- tainly advise you to have a few on hand.

GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD Keeps the Bowels Open, the Blood Pure, And puts the stuff in the hen that makes her lay. Young turkeys are usually difficult to raise, but if you will use Gold Coin Poultry Food you will find your young turkeys stronger and hardier and no more difficult to raise than chickens. Use a teaspoonful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in each pan of bran mash. Do your hens lay in winter? They wiTl do so if you make them. Try it. Read the directions on "Feeding for Laying" in the book. Gold Coin Poultry Food prevents id'eress. A hen that's always busy picking and eating is a good layer. A lazy hen is a poor layer. Gold Coin Poultry Food keeps the digestive organs working, hence a good appetite, which means eggs. Mix a measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in the "Johnnie Cake" you bake for your young chickens. It keeps them from getting diarrhoea and makes their constitutions strong. MILK VERY GOOD FOR POULTRY. If you are a poultry raiser and do not keep a cow, buy a good milker as soon as you can. She need not be any pure bred stock, but if you will use your judgment you can get a good milker at about the same price as a small milker. She will pay for herself three times over every year. You want lots of milk — the more the better. You can feed the cow Gold Coin Cattle Fattener and make her milk as rich as you wish. If you use a measureful in three quarts of bran and shorts twice a day her skim milk will be as rich as fresh milk for your young chicks. You'll have twice the success with your young chicks, your broilers will have an exceptionally fine flavor, your hens will lay better. Remember, Gold Coin Cattle Fattener acts on cows just as Gold Coin Poultry Food acts on chickens.

We will forfeit $5,000 and pay the expense of the chemical analysis if any one can prove that Gold Coin Cattle Fattener contains anything in- jurious. LOOK OUT FOR LICE IN JULY AND AUGUST. The hot months are when lice do the most harm. Take the time to dust a little Gold Coin Louse Killer on each fowl once a week during these two months, and they will not usually be troubled all the year. Or dust the coop and roosts with it. GAME FOWL. You are losing money if yon are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 137 THE COMMON TURKEY. FORTUNES CAN BE MADE IN TURKEYS. They Are Easy to Raise I£ Properly Fed. So very few people raise turkeys successfully that it might be said turkeys are scarce in the West. Yet turkeys are as easy to raise as chickens. They require a little more attention when young, but not so much later. Any intelligent woman or even child can give them all the care they need. The "Common" turkey is undoubtedly the best breed for most people to raise. They are tame, hardy, good foragers and not too large. Weight 10 to 15 pounds. It is a mistake to raise large turkeys. Few families care for more than 15 pounds of meat at one cooking. That is the reason that people usually pick out the 10 to 15 pound turkeys in preference to the 30 to 40 pounders at the market. Raise medium-sized turkeys. Bronze turkeys are also becoming very popu- lar, and we can say from experience that they are good turkeys. When properly fed on Gold Coin Poultry Food they become good layers, are quickly fattened and bring good prices. The turkey-house should be high so as to get high roosts. But have them so arranged that the turkeys can easily get up to them. Lameness in turkeys often comes from jumping down from high roosts. No artificial heat is required for full-grown turkeys in winter. The shed should be well ventilated with windows to the south. Turkeys are very hardy and live better in an open shed than in a closed house. Beware of lice and filth. FEEDING TURKEYS. Like geese, feed them double the dose you do chickens, that is, two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to every 15 turkeys twice a day. This keeps them strong and healthy and puts them in good laying condition. When "fattening time" comes increase the dose to four measurefuls to every 15 fowls or if necessary use six measurefuls to get quicker results. Little turks do amazingly well on one measureful to every 25 turks. It strengthens their delicate bodies and saves you over 50 per cent of loss. Don't try to raise turkeys without Gold Coin Poultry Food. It is such a wonderful help. If- you have never used it write to us for a box and use it at our expense if it fails to give paying results. WHY SO MANY LITTLE TURKEYS DIE. There are three great causes — and the merest attention can easily overcome all three. 1. Dampness and wet. 2. Lice. 3. Filth. Therefore, keep your small turkeys within reach of shelter — good shelter. And if you see a severe storm arising, get them all in. Keep the coop clean and healthy by disinfecting it at least once a week with Gold Coin Germ Killer, accord- ing to direction on each can. It will also keep the coop free from lice. To prevent lice on the turkeys, dust each fowl once a week with Gold Coin Louse Killer — it only takes a minute and you will save yourself many dollars. Just that easy can all the three causes of death be over- come, and you should raise practically every turkey hatched. Turkey eggs hatch in 28 days. An ordinary hen can easily hatch 7 to 9 eggs. A turkey hen will hatch 13 to 15. Or they can be hatched in an in- cubator, and raised to three months in a brooder. But never more than 20 to 25 in one lot, as they require too much care in this way. FEEDING OF LITTLE TURKEYS: Don't feed them anything the first day. On the second day begin feeding them every two hours from early till late. Make a sort of bread from the fol- lowing: Sifted ground oats, one beaten egg, a little salt to taste, and one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food to each 20 to 30 turkeys, and cook it. Crumble it and feed in curds of milk. Always feed on clean surfaces. Have plenty of water on hand to drink, but arrange it so that only their beaks get wet — because little turkeys should be kept dry. Filth and lice soon kill little turkeys. So be sure that the coop in which you intend to keep them is not infested with lice. Disinfect it with Gold Coin Germ Killer, and sprinkle the roosts, cracks and corners of the coop with Gold Coin Louse Killer. Examine the hen to see if she has lice, or better still, take no chances and dust her well all over, especially thoroughly under the wings. This will be enough to protect the little turkeys. Give once a day some tender green food, as onions, etc., chopped up finely; also a little raw meat. After they are a week old, wheat and crushed bone should be constantly before them. But in addition must feed them regular three times a day on an equal mixture of bran, ground oats, corn meal and one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food, with some kind of chopped green food, all mixed thoroughly, to every 20 to 30 little turkeys. This is sure to give you excellent results and big profits in your turkey raising. The cheap feed and the delightful foraging grounds afforded by the average farm, and the always ready market, gives the successful turkey raiser more actual profit than any other kind of stock. In selecting breeding stock for the following year keep the old turkey hens that you found gave the best service and proved to be tame and gentle, because stronger young stock will be pro- duced by the more mature fowls. Grown turkeys cannot be confined in a pen. They will pine away and die. They like to stroll away during the day. And this is a good time to tend to their coop, A yearling gobbler with two-year-old hens make the best mating. One gobbler to each 20 or more hens is sufficient. Feed your turkeys morning and night in the barnyard and they will always come home to roost. 13S Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Ckicago. DUCKS. If you are raising ducks don't try to get along without Gold Coin Poultry Food. Ducks need more material for making eggs than chickens. Gold Coin Poultry Food contains these materials in abundance. It also keeps them well and helps to fatten them. The small common white duck has been displaced by the larger and better breeds. The Mammoth Pekin Duck being the most successful. It is pure white, legs and hill yellow. When fully developed and fattened, weighs 8 to 12 pounds. They are very sturdy, good foragers, easy to raise and 'very profitable. A good swimming pond should be provided for them, but they will do well without it if given plenty of fresh water to drink. The Rouen Duck (gray) is a good layer, weight 10 to 12 pounds when fattened, and very fine eating. Other varieties are the Black Poland, Mandarin, Crested Duck, Carolina, etc. Ducks are profitable, and you should raise some if you have the room, as they can usually be sold at a fancy price at certain times. The Feeding of Ducks. Give two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to every 15 ducks in wet grain either ground or unground. Best if warm. Gold Coin Poultry Food makes ducks lay better and helps wonderfully to fatten them. We guarantee it to in- crease your profits 15 to 25 per cent. It fattens in half the time, saving 20 per cent of feed. GOLD GOiN POULTRY FOOD. Keeps Poultry Healthy— Cures All Sick Fovvls, makes little ones grow fast and big ones fat at less expense. It saves one-fourth of your feed— hence that much more GOLD GOIN SPEGIAL POULTRY FOOD. Increases Digestion, Fattening and developing your chicks in half the time. WHITE PEKIN DUCK. KEEP POULTRY-KEEP A COW. Most people who have poultry keep a cow too. A cow is a wonderful feed-saver to the poultry raiser. The skim milk and the sour milk are almost indispensible in raising young chicks, turkeys, ducks or broilers. It is the finest thing too for old chickens. If you keep a cow you should get the most possible milk from her. Gold Coin Cattle Fattener is the greatest milk pro- ducer of the age. It makes fat. Remember, milk is an emulsion. An emulsion is a watery mixture in which fat is suspended. The fat makes the butter. Now you can feed scientifically to make 3'our cow give up the fat in milk, or, you can stop milking and she will put it on her frame in flesh and fat. The poultry raiser and everyone, excepting the ranger, wants milk from his cow. It will save you 15 to 25 per cent. A cow fed on Gold Coin Cattle Fattener gives richer milk. It makes the cow digest all she eats and turns it into fat — that's rich milk. If you have' never used it you can buy a package and test it at our expense — write to us. CRESTED WHITE DUCKS. THE POULTRY BUSINESS IS FAR FROM BEING OVERDONE. America alone produces over $500,000,000 (half billion) in poultry and eggs per year. You cannot afibrd to do unscientific feeding, while it is so easy to use a scientific preparation like Gold Coin Poultry Food. Every man who uses Gold Coin Poultry Food is a scientific feeder. You are losing money if you are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 139 LARGE WHITE GEESE, ALSO CALLED EMBDEN OR BREMEN. GEESE. Gold Coin Poultry Food fattens them and makes them grow fast. Geese, as well as all the other fowls, love Gold Coin Poultry Food, and it does them a world of good. For the average poultry raiser the Embden or Bremen or large white goose stands far in the lead for profit. It is easy to raise, an early layer; and when raised- to full size weighs from 30 to 60 lbs., giving good profit. The Toulouse Goose is next. The Hong Kong Grey Goose is large in size, a good layer, and with meat of excellent quality. The White Chi- PAIR OF GRAY TOULOUSE GEESE. nese Goose is pure white, yellow bill and head, graceful as a swan on land or water; a good layer and easy to raise. But the common Large White Goose (the Embden or Bremen) is the goose to raise. It brings the most profit and requires the least work. THE FEEDING OF GEESE. To get the best results with geese, double the dose used for chickens, that is, feed two full meas- urefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to every 15 geese. _ It keeps them in the best possible laying condition, and it makes young geese grow strong and fast. TO FATTEN a full grown goose quickly, pen it up and feed it 2 measureluls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to every quart of wet feed. You can even increase the dose to 3 if you w^ant cjuick results. SICKNESS-LOSS WITH- OUT DEATH. Sickness in fowls, like in peo- ple, causes waste of flesh. Sick- ness, then, means to you as poulterers, waste of the food you gave to make this flesh— remem- ber you are feeding to make flesh to sell. Fowls can'tputon flesh nor lay eggs while sick. You're wasting food— money — if you are feeding sick chickens. Feed Gold Coin PouItryFood and turn all your feed into money. It brings I5 to 25 per cent more profit, because it makes your poultry digest every ounce they eat. Some poulterers claim it makes 500 per cent above the cost of the food. 140 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union. Stock Yards, Ckicago. POULTRY ADVANTAGES FRUIT FARMS. ON Upon the fruit farm fowls are also of advantage. They keep down the in- sect pests, and they may have a free range the greater part of the season without the possibility of doing any damage. Plum growers have found poultry especially helpful in keeping down the curculio, and even apples have been considerably benefited. If small fruits are injured, they may, of course, be protected by confining the fowls for the limited season when the fruit is ripening. The waste fruits, either in winter or summer, are a wel- come and valuable addition to the poultry ration. POULTRY ADVANTAGES AFFORDED BY THE DAIRY. Dairymen who have town or city milk routes, and market gardeners who retail their produce, have exceptional opportunities for marketing fresh eggs and poultry at the highest prices. They become well acquainted with many of their customers by their daily visits, and they are looked upon as a direct channel of communication between the country and the city. They should by all means make the most of this advantage, for any class of agricultural producers who can reach the consumer without the intervention of the middleman is indeed fortunate. GOLD COIN SPECIAL POULTRY FOOD Makes More Eggs Hatch Because it keeps the hens and cocks in healthy condition, thus making healthy eggs. GRAY AFRICAN GEESB. POULTRY AND THE MARKET GARDEN. "GOLD COIN" BRINGS EXTRA PROFITS. The market garden also furnishes a large amount of waste products which may be utilized for poultry feed. There is the waste lettuce, the small heads of cabbage, the unsold beets, carrots, and potatoes, the peas, and corn which cannot be marketed for any reason, the waste of the small fruits, etc. If properly cared for, the hens will bring a steady and reliable income during the winter months. Dried clover and other green feed, roots, and tubers should be saved for them during the summer. These should be steamed and fed with the mash, or cabbages and beets may be fed raw. A catch crop of buckwheat or oats and peas will furnish much food at little expense. Bran, meat, meal, wheat screenings, and oats purchased for poultry will bring good returns in eegs and will also add materially to the fertilizer supply. BMBDEN AND TOULOUSE CROSS. DON'T CLASS OUR FOODS. Don't class our "Foods" with the many in- ferior preparations now on the market. Ours is composed entirely of high-grade ingredients.

The remarkable success of Gold Coin Poultry Food is due to the fact that we have spared no expense in making this the leading Poultry Food for Poultry. We take pride in hearing that it succeeds where others fail, and that Poultry raisers, too, are restocking with Gold Coin Poul- try Food in place of other brands, and are getting much more profitable results. It keeps all Poultry in a healthy, profitable condition. You are losing money if you are not feeding Crold Coin Stock floods. 141 ABOUT RAISING CHICKENS BY MACHINERY. THE GREAT CRY OF THE PACKERS IS "BETTER POULTRY AND MORE OF IT." HOW TO USE AN INCUBATOR. Special Points on Artificial Incubating and Brooding, Three hundred to six hundred eggs can be as eaisily managed in an incubator as cam 35 eggs under three hens. The machine should be run at a temperature of 102^ deg. throughout, letting the temperature run up as high as 104 or 105 degs. just before A Genuine Chicken Factory. The I. X. ly. Wooden Hen.

Do not check ofif the heat, even though it rises to 108 deg., its maximum; it will not be too high when the chicks are coming out rap- idly. As a rule a cellar is the best place to keep an incubator. Good ventilation is very important. As the ventilation of a cellar is usually not very good, it must be arranged so that good ven- tilation will be obtained. The reason the cellar is the best place to keep an incubator is because it is a room that can be kept at an even temperature easily. No matter how: goiod an incubator may be, it will always do best if kept in a room in which the temperature of the room is even. Good ventilation is essential because the little chicks require .oxygen for their vital functions, and the lamp of the machine has a tendency to exhaust the supply if the ventilation is poor. Under ordinary circumstances do not open the incubator while the chicks are hatching. It is very important that the temperature and hu- midity of the egg chamber should remain con- stant at this particular time. None of the chicks should be assisted in leaving the shell. If one of the little chicks just hatched should require assistance and you were to open the machine to help it, you might cause the death of 200 to 300 little chicks that were about to be hatched, be- cause the sudden cooling of the temperature and evaporation which tends to dry the egg chamber, may cause many of the little chicks, just pipped, to stick to the shell and not hatch. Full Instructions go with As soon as the hatching is well over the ma- chine should be opened and the unhatched eggs removed. It is advisable to allow the little chicks to remain in the machine for the first 24 hours at a temperature of 90 deg. to 94 deg., then transfer them to the brooder, and give them their first meal. Ground wheat, oats and barley with one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food for every 30 chicks. Eggs in incubators should be handled as little as possible. Enough importance has never been laid upon the necessity of handling eggs, in the course of incubation, with strictly clean hands. Dirty or sweaty hands are likely to stop up the pores of the eggs and prevent successful hatch- ing. Therefore remember, avoid handling as much as possible and when positively necessary to handle the eggs see that your hands are strictly clean and dry. THE BROODER. The brooder is the artificial mother. It is sim- ply a little coop maintained at a certain tempera- ture, never below 60 deg. and never above 90 deg., into which the little chicks can run. The same as they would under the wings of a motiher hen. Where brooders are kept out doors, especially during inclement weather, the chicks are liable to lung diseases from which they never recover. This is due to the sudden change of temperature experienced by the chicks running from the warm brooder out into the cold atmosphere. During bad weather keep the brooder indoors. The New Excelsior Brooder, or Artificial Mother. Write for particulars. Where poultry raising has become a promi- nent feature in farming operations, it has become the rule to use incubators and brooders. And this is very important, because with an incubator you need not wait for hens to become broody, you can hatch chicks early in the season in tiine for the early Broiler market, or where you wish to hatch pullets for winter laying. Here is an important point for poultry raisers who wish to make a specialty of producing eggs for the winter market. Eggs bring the highest price during the winter.

"GOLD COIN LOUSE KILLER" KILLS LICE — ■ Hens Will Not Lay When They Have Lice COLONY HOUSE. TEN REASONS WHY YOU SHOULD RAISE POULTRY. 1st. Because you can convert a great deal of the waste on a farm into money, in the shape of eggs and chickens. 2nd. Because, with proper care and feeding, you can make your hens money producers every month in the year. 3rd. Because, on the farm, chickens have large and free range, which is of greatest value. 4th. Because, to start poultry raising, it re- quires but little management and brings you big profit. 5th. Because poultry raising can be entirely looked after by the farmer's wife and daugters. 6th. Because, while grain and fruit can only be successfully grown in certain parts, poultry can be raised for table use in any part of the country. 7th. Because it will bring big returns in the shape of new laid eggs — during the winter season when the farmer has time on his hands. 8th. Because poultry will yield you a quicker return for the money invested than anything else on the farm. 9th. Because the manure from the hen house will make valuable compost for the garden or orchard. 10th. Because on the farm wheat only pays on the average $5 an acre net, while 500 hens can be kept on an acre and be made to pay an annual net of $1 each, or $500 — one hundred times as much as wheat.

Don't class our "Foods" with the many inferior preparations now on the market. Ours is composed entirely of high-erade ingredients. It is blended and compounded under the direct super- vision of an expert agricultural chemist. Poultry raisers repeatedly report that our "Food" succeeds where others fail. We can easily understand this because we have analyzed every Poultry Food on the Market and find that none of them contain the valuable ingredients that ours does. The remarkable success of Gold Coin Poultry Food is due to the fact that we have spared no expense in making this the leading Poultry Food for Poul- try. We take pride in hearing that it succeeds where others fail, and that Poultry raisers, too, are restocking with Gold Coin Poultry Food in place of other brands, and are getting much more prof- itable results. It keeps all poultry in a healthy, profitable condition. THE SKELETON OF A FOWL. Very few people understand the bony structure of a fowl. The above picture shows in detail all the bones as they would ba if the fowl were alive. People who raise poultry in large numbers should study carefully the diseases of Poultry— it will save them many hundred dollars, (jold Coin Poultry Food with Gold Coin Germ Killer and Healing Oil on hand, gives a poulterer almost a complete outfit for the prevention and cure of all poultry diseases. GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD MAKES HENS FILL THEIR NESTS WITH EGGS. You are losing money if you are not feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 147 DISEASES OF POULTRY. VERTIGO. A Ooramon Disease Among- Fowls. The fowls stagger and have poor control of their limbs. It is sometimes called Leg Weak- ness. It is caused by over-feeding and lack of exercise. If one of your hens get vertigo, you are probablv over-feeding the whole flock and all need attention. DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT: Mix two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food in a -'-quart of bran mash for each 15 chickens three times a day. Feed no corn or wheat. Feed oats sparingly. Give plenty of water to drink. If any are suffering, pour cold water on them to prevent apoplexy. TREATMENT FOR PREVENTION. The chief preventative is to keep their digestion and bowels in good condition and "their system will not overload with accumulative poisons. Keep the digestion, bowels and all the internal organs ^ working properly by feeding one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food to each 15 ^owls once or twice a day according to how quickly you want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg laying. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full size package and test it at our expense if it fails to give paying results. ' GOLDS AND CATARRH. Colds and catarrh come from having your coops damp and cold. You should remove the flocK to dry, warmer quarters and feed Gold Coin Poultry Food regularly to strengthen and increase their vitality so they can stand exposure better. Weak constitutions are more liable to colds and catarrh. Gold Coin Poultry Food makes strong constitutions. Feed it according to the regular directions placed in the top of each package. If you will use this scientific poultry food regularly and have chickens of strong con- stitution you will not only have your flock free from diseases, but they will lay all winter. No ■ poulterer can say he is doing scientific feeding unless he is using the most scientific poultry food, which is Gold Coin Poultry Food, discov- ered by one of the greatest agricultural scientists. Even though your flock consists of only six hens ^ and a rooster, or if it consists of 10,000 fowls, you should use Gold Coin Poultry Food. The largest raisers endorse it. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full sized package and test it at our expense if it fails to give paying results. DIRECTIONS FOR CURING: Increase the vitality and strengthen the constitution by giving two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two quarts of ground feed three times a day for every 15 fowls. Feed corn and wheat in moder- ' ation; this grain increases the bodily heat. GOLD COIN POULTRY FOOD Often Doubles the Production of Eggs. One extra egg daily per month will keep a hen in Our Poultry Food free of charge — think of the profit. LICE ON POULTRY. How You Can Kill All Lice. Fowls cannot lay nor gain flesh as they should if annoyed and irritated with lice. It affects the nervous system. Setting hens will leave their eggs. No matter how much care you give your poultry if they- are infested with lice they will not do well. Good laying hens must not have their nervous system distressed, as laying is a part of the procreative function, which require quiet, re- tirement and tranquility. Growing chickens must not waste their time in picking lice from them- selves while they should be finding food and putting flesh on their bones. Keep your coop clean as possible, sprinkle Gold Coin Louse Killer on the perches every time you clean the hen-house or at least once every two weeks. Some poulterers occasionally throw a handful of the Louse Killer over chickens after they have gone to roost. These precautions will keep your poultry free from lice, mites, ticks, etc. When lice get into your coops and on your poultry, clean out your coop and whitewash it, adding two tablespoonfuls of "Gold Coin Germ Killer" to each pail of whitewash, if the season will permit. If it is winter or too cold to white- wash the coop, sprinkle the perches and interior of hen-house as good as possible with the Louse Killer Powder. TO KILL THE LOUSE ON FOWL: Take the fowl by one leg and dust the Gold Coin Louse Killer into the feathers so it gets down to the skin. Rubbing the feathers the wrong way will do this. Particularly watch your setting hens, they will leave their eggs if too much annoyed. Dust her with Louse Killer once or twice a week. LICE ON YOUNG CHICKENS: Dust the "Gold Coin Louse Powder" on the mother hen, especially under the wings. This will be sufficient to drive the lice from the young chickens. APOPLEXY. Apoplexy is due to the same cause in fowls as in people, that is, a rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. They drop over dead. It is caused by over-feeding or improper feeding. You are wast- ing feed. Give your fowls large enough yards to get plenty of exercise. Cut down on their rations, but feed them scientifically and thus keep their digestion in good working order. Scientific feed- ing is attained by using the most scientific food digester and assimilator which is Gold Coin Poultry Food. When you do unscientific feed- ing or if you crowd the feed to any extent you are liable to kill or disease your hens, where as scien- tific feeding saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed by making them digest all they eat. Remember, as an economical poultry raiser you should try to get the most flesh and eggs from the least feed; you are not to see how much you can waste, and kill your hens by over-feeding. Try it and see how nice your hens will be with Gold Coin Poul- try Food used daily in their feed. They put on more flesh and lay more eggs. Their feathers lie smooth and look clean.

DISEASES OF POULTRY (Continued). APOPLEXY (Concluded). ' This Disease is Usually Due to Improper Feeding-, DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT: If one of your chickens die of apoplexy it is evident that you are improperly feeding the whole flock and therefore all must have attention. Mix three measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food with one quart of bran mash for each 15 fowls three times a day. Feed no corn nor wheat. Feed oats sparingly. Give them plenty of water to drink, and plenty of room to run about in. DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep their digestion and bowels active by feeding one teaspoonful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in two quarts of bran mash for each 15 chickens once or twice a day, according to how quickly you want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg laying. If you have never tried Gold Coin Poultry Food, write us and get a full sized package and try it at our expense. DIARRHOEA. A Dangerous Disease to Poultry. Whenever diarrhoea appears among your flock, look out for cholera, because there should be no diarrhoea if you are doing proper feeding. Diarrhoea, when not due to cholera, comes from poor digestion and fermentation. Your poultry can't have poor digestion if you use Gold Coin Poultry Food and as it also promotes assimil- ation, your chickens put every ounce of feed you give them into their bones and flesh and into eggs. It doesn't matter how much or how good feed you give to man or beast, if it is not prop- erly digested and assimilated, and if it passes away by diarrhoea it can produce no flesh. In one week of diarrhoea, your fowls will lose in flesh what it took three weeks to put on. Re- member, you are feeding to produce flesh. It doesn't pay to have diarrhoea nor any diseases in your flock. It does pay to get the MOST out of the feed you give them and see that they digest and assimilate everything you give them. The fact is, flesh production whether in poultry, cattle or hogs is now-a-days conducted so scientifically by large raisers that you cannot compete with them unless you use the most scientific feed-saver and egg-producer, which is Gold Coin Poultry Food. It saves 15 to 25 per cent of feed. It does it by making the fowl digest all it eats and con- verts that into flesh or eggs. Gold Coin Poultry Food fed regularly, the fowls simply have to put on flesh just according to how much you feed them, or lay it out in eggs. DIRECTIONS FOR CURING DIAR- RHOEA: Mix two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food with two quarts of bran mash for each 15 fowls and give three times a day until cured. Feed them ground feed for a few days. DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep the digestion in good condition. All common bowel troubles (diarrhoea) come from poor diges- tion. Gold Coin Poultry Food's particular action is to perform good digestion. Feed one measure- ful to two quarts of bran or ground food once or twice a day according to how quickly you want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg lay- ing. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full sized package i and try it at our expense. Diarrhoea in young chicks carries away' many every year just as Cholera Infantum does babes. With their soft food always mix a measureful of ' Gold Coin Poultry Food for each lot of 30 to 40 chicks. As they get older increase the amount of poultry food one measureful for each, 15 - chicks. They will thrive rapidly and in 7 to 8 weeks you will have nice plump broilers for early market, at high prices. Or in 3 or 4 months they will be full sized. Young chickens raised on Gold Coin Poultry Food have an especially fine flavor. Wealthy people will want your broilers, and will pay extra for th'em, because their flavor is as fine as Milk-Fed Broilers. This is money in your pocket. MAKE A TEST ON OUR SPOT CASH GUARANTEE.

May Kill Your "Whole Flock in a Few "Weeks How to Cure It. , It is caused by a germ, and like all germ dis- eases of man and beast, is catching or contagi- ous. The sick fowls have a drooping, rufifled ap- pearance. The combs first get pale, then turn dark. The diarrhoea, however, is the great dan- gerous symptom and requires watching. At first it is yellowish and frothy, later it gets greenish and continues until death of the fowl. It is this frothy, greenish discharge that is so dangerous for it is loaded with the deadly cholera germs. The treatment and cure must be prompt. You need not be unduly alarmed, but act quickly. It is a frightful disease to have in your hen-house. It kills your hens by hundreds and even the most successful poulterer may lose his entire flock in a few weeks. THERE IS ONLY ONE WAY TO EXTER- MINATE this terrible plague among your fowls. That is to Destroy the Cholera Germ. You must act quickly because the germs are so rapidly scattered through the greenish diarrhoea dis- charge, which is full of cholera germs. Take the well fowls from the Infected coop and put them into new quarters and give large doses of Gold Coin Poultry Food to prevent the disease from developing in the fowl thus exposed, ', and sprinkle the Gold Coin Germ Killer (table- spoonful to pail of water) freely over the new quarters to destroy any, germs carried in the feathers of the fowl or clothes of the attendant. As soon as any fowl in the new quarters shows symptoms of the disease, remove it at once. Wear old clothes and sprinkle well with Gold Coin Germ Killer, especially the boots, when going from the sick to the well chickens. It is better to kill those fowls you see are too sick to live and are only endangering the rest of your flock by scattering the disease through con- tagion. But do not get panic-stricken and kill all fowls that have diarrhoea, or look sick, for most , of them can be cured. Gold Coin Poultry Food alone is enough to cure ordinary cases. Pour a pint of boiling water on six measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food and mix with two quarts of bran mash for each 15 fowls and feed three times ,r a day, until the Cholera has entirely disappeared from your flock. For the apparently well fowls mix 3 measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food with 2 quarts of ground feed three times a day to prevent Cholera developing in them. After Cholera has disappeared feed regularly one measure of Gold Coin Poultry Food mixed with two quarts of ground feed once or twice a day according to how quickly you wish to fatten them or increase their egg laying. Not only will you have better loaking chickens, free from disease, J and more eggs, but this constant use of the Gold Coin Poultry Food will prevent Cholera in your flock. It makes good digestion, increases the vitality and strengthens the constitution, thus f making the fowls more able to resist diseases. Give no corn or corn-rheal. Burn or bury promptly all fowls that die and sprinkle the coop well every day with solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer (mix a tablespoonful to a pail of water.) Also sprinkle the yard with it, especially sprinkle it on the diarrhoea discharges. After Cholera disinfecting of coops and pens should be continued three times a week for at least six months or more, or until cold weather sets in, as the Cholera germs may live five or six years if not destroyed. If you do not do this you had better burn the pens and houses in which the cholera-stricken fowls died. Full and complete directions for the cure of Cholera by the Gold Coin Special Poultry Food is placed in the top of each package. The disinfectant (Gold Coin Germ Killer) pre- pared by the Gold Coin Stockfood Company is the strongest, goes the farthest, is the most thor- ough and best Disinfectant Chemical Combina- tion. It destroys all germs of diseases of man or beast. Full directions for using it in chicken chol- era or any diseases and for the prevention of dis- eases, is given on the label of every can. It should be in every house. It should be used for all dis- infecting purposes. PREVENTION OF CHOLERA: Cholera being a germ disease, it is far easier to prevent than cure. Cleanliness and good healthy diges- tion and assimilation of food prevent cholera and all diseases by enabling the body to resist inva- sion by disease germs. We have never had a single report of cholera occurring in any flock which has received Gold Coin Poultry Food regu- larly. Constant use of Gold Coin Poultry Food not only prevents cholera, but makes the hens lay better and the eggs bring forth healthier young chicks. The roosters, too, are kept in better con- dition for breeding by its use. It makes them look sleek and clean. Get a package of Gold Coin Poultry Food and a can of Gold Coin Germ Killer if there is any sign of cholera in your flock. Prevent it now if you can before it gets a start. If you have no cholera, be thankful. Anyway, try a package of the Gold Coin Poultry Food and see how much cleaner and sleeker your poultry will look and how much better the hens will lay. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write us and get a full sized package and try it at our expense if it fails to give paying re- sults. PIP. A crust or membrane forms on the top of the tongue. This membrane should be removed. You can remove it with your finger or knife. -After removing membrane always hold the mouth open and wash tongue with a solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer, 15 drops of Gold Coin Germ Killer to half pint of warm water. If you are not feed- ing Gold Coin Poultry Food begin its use at once. Buy a package and use according to the direc- tions placed in the top of each package. It is the cheapest poultry food because it goes the farthest, produces more flesh and eggs, 15 to 25 per cent more than if you used no poultry food at all, and 5 to 10 per cent more than any other poultry food. Your chickens wouldn't be sick if they (Cure of Pip continued on next pag-e ) 150 Gold Coin Stockfood Co., Union Stock Yards, Chicago. POULTRY DISEASES (Continued). PIP (Concluded). digested their food properly and assimilated it. That is what the Gold Coin Poultry Food does. That is why it makes 15 to 25 per cent more flesh out of the same amount of feed. When Gold Coin Poultry Food is given every bit they eat is converted into flesh and eggs. That is scientific feeding. DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep the digestive organs in good working condition so the strength and vitality of the system can throw off any invading disease germs. The par- ticular action of Gold Coin Poultry Food on the system is to make good digestion. The poultry get the benefit in flesh and blood of every ounce of feed they get when Gold Coin Poultry Food is fed regularly. To keep good health and strength, make rapid growth and increase egg laying, mix one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two quarts of ground feed for each 15 chickens and feed once or twice a day according to how quickly you wish to grow or fatten them, or to increase the egg laying. If you have never used the Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full size package and try it at our expense. CONSUMPTION IN POULTRY. Consumption can only appear in flocks of weak constitution. It would never appear in any flock that receives scientific feeding. Scientific feeding gives a strong constitution. A strong con- stitution can only be had by perfect digestion of the feed, and a healthy action of all the internal organs. The ingredients contained in Gold Coin Poultry Food are scientifically combined and make perfect action of the internal organs, caus- ing perfect digestion, assimilation, formation of the digested food into flesh and bone. Thus Gold Coin Poultry Food is a scientific flesh and egg producer. The poulterer who uses it along with intelligent proportions of feed is doing the most scientific feeding possible to attain. But the many weak constitutioned, scurvy, dirty looking flocks we see every day show how few people, either through ignorance or negligence, take the simple precaution to feed a scientific food. The largest and most successful poultry raisers claim that the scientific poultry food made by the Gold Coin Stockfood Co. save them thousands of dol- lars every year from losses by disease, and makes them many thousands more by increase of flesh and egg production. DIRECTIONS FOR TREATMENT OF CONSUMP- TION IN FOWLS. Consumption is a general weakened and run- down condition. The cure is to rebuild and strengthen. For two months feed two measure- fuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two quarts of ground food twice a day for each 15 fowls. Feed wheat, oats, and corn in moderation, if ground up is even better. The Gold Coin Poultry Food is indispensable, and it makes perfect digestion, thus makes strong constitutions. PREVENTION OF CONSUMPTION: Keep your hens strong by having good digestion. They then get the full benefit of their feeding. This is done by feeding one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food in two quarts of ground feed once or twice a day according to how quickly you want to grow or fatten them or increase their egg laying. If you have never used Gold Coin Poultry Food, write us for a full size package and test it at our expense if it fails to give paying results. GAPES. Gapes is caused by a small worm in the wind- pipe. It occurs usually during July and August. It is not a germ, and therefore is not contagious, but other fowls will get it from swallowing the worms coughed up by the aflflicted ones. It ap- pears usually in the young. If the disease is allowed to run the fowl gets very sick and is easily handled and the worm can be readily removed by a flexible wire. Or hold the chicken's mouth open and pour in a few drops of solutijn of Gold Coin Germ Killer three or four times a day. To make this solution put 30 drops of our Germ Killer into one pint of water. It will kill tne worm. Also give the sick ones a piece of raw salt pork about the size of a bean. As soon as you notice that some of your young flock gape at times, if you are not already using Gold Coin Poultry Food begin at once to use it according to the directions placed in the top of each package. ROUP. Roup comes from bad colds, therefore usually occurs in the winter. You can tell it by the bad smell. The eyes swell shut sometimes so the chicken cannot see to eat or drink. The throat is « filled with thick mucus, causing noisy breathing. ' Roup is due to a germ, therefore it is catch- ing and very dangerous. The sick fowl should be put in a warm, dry place. The swollen head should be bathed in the following solution: One teaspoonful of salt, one teaspoonful of Gold Coin Germ Killer, and four quarts of warm water. Bathe the head twice a day, morning and after- noon, each time in fresh solution as stated above. Feed two measurefuls of Gold Coin Poultry Food in two quarts of ground feed for each 15 hens, three times a day, to strengthen the vitality and ' promote secretions to eliminate the germs from the system. If you will feed double or even larger doses of Gold Coin Poultry Food accord- ing to the special directions in the top of each_ package you can cure almost all. But some of the bad cases which you neglected at the begin- ning before you knew what the disease was, will probably die. These dead carcasses should be burned. As the disease usually occurs in winter, and owing to cold, damp coops, it is not advisable to sprinkle it with a disinfectant solution, but ♦ when spring time comes do not fail to thoroughly disinfect your coop with a strong solution of Gold Coin Germ Killer (one tablespoonful to a pail Tof water.) PREVENTION OF ROUP: As Roup is due ^ to a germ (similar to the diphtheria germ) it is far easier to prevent than cure the disease. If 3'ou keep up the strength and vitality of your k| flock by seeing that they properly digest and assimilate their feed, and if you have your coops dry and reasonably warm, you will have no (Cure of Roup continued on next page.) You are losing money if you are net feeding Gold Coin Stock Foods. 151 POULTRY DISEASES (Continued ) ROUP (Concluded). trouble with roup, colds, diphtheria, etc. But you will not merely have your hens free from disease, if you use Gold Coin Poultry Food regularly, , your hens will lay all winter, when eggs are worth 25 to 30 cents a dozen. DIRECTIONS FOR PREVENTION: Keep •' the digestive organs in good working condition so the strength and vitality of the system can throw off any invading disease germs. The par- - ^icular action of the Gold Coin Poultry Food on the system is to make good digestion. The poul- try get the benefit in flesh and blood of every ounce of feed they get when Gold Coin Poultry Food is fed regularly. To keep good health and ' strength, make rapid growth and increase egg laying, mix one measureful of Gold Coin Poultry Food to two quarts of ground feed for each 15 chickens and feed once or twice a day according to how quickly you wish to grow or fatten them, '^'or to increase the egg laying. If you have never used the Gold Coin Poultry Food, write to us and get a full size package and try it at our expense. CROP BOUND. This is due to undigested food in crop. The undigested food gets hard. The crop hangs down. Pour -some warm milk down the fowl's throat, then gently rub and squeeze the crop and thus ^ soften the hardened mass. Feed soft food for about a week. Always feed your chickens Gold Coin Poultry Food regularly once a day and you , will never have this trouble. Chickens being fat- tened are more liable to get crop bound. These are just the fowls you don't want to get sick, as it sets them back. Therefore, especially feed these fowl the poultry food regularly. TURKEYS. THE MOST PROFITABLE BREEDS. The "Common" and the "White Holland" tur- keys stand in the lead for profit. If you are rais- ing turkeys for profit, fed them Gold Coin Poultry Food. It's got the stuff in it that makes big ^turkeys. And turkeys like it. They will eat it " pure right out of the hand, there is nothing in the world that can do them so much good. "Com- mon" turkeys are black and white; medium size; weigh 10 to 15 pounds; hardy, easy to raise and not much inclined to roam. The Holland turkey is white, a good egg layer, very domestic, and •■ easily fattened because of its quiet habits and con- stant desire for Gold Coin Poultry Food. These are the turkeys for the farmer. Some like the "Bronze" turkeys, and we can say from experience . that they are a good breed. They do just as well f in the West as they do in the East. Medium sized turkeys sell best. A 40-pound turkey is too large for an average family. People don't want f large turkeys; they want fat ones. >Ten to fifteen pounds is about right. Turkeys want a high open shed with windows to the south, and high roosts, rather than a low, close shed in winter like chick- ens. They bring great profit. LEG WEAKNESS. The fowls cannot support themselves on their legs. It is due to a partial paralysis of the limbs. This affliction will rarely or never occur in flocks in which Gold Coin Poultry Food is regularly used. For the afflicted fowl mix a little ground feed with an equal part of Gold Coin Poultry Food and feed a little four or five times a day. Keep it out of the sun and see that it has water to drink. When this disease afflicts one of the fowls, begin to feed the whole flock two measure- fuls in their feed twice a day, for the same cause that produced it in the afflicted fowl may operate in others. An ounce o'f prevention is worth a pound of cure. Feed Gold Coin Poultry Food one measureful to two quarts of ground feed to each 15 hens once or twice a day and prevent sickness coming in. Sickness in hens, like in people, causes loss of flesh. Sickness, then, means to you, , as poulterer, waste of flesh and eggs, that is waste of feed — waste of money. You can't afford to have sickness in your flock. Gold Coin Poultry Food is the cheapest on the market be- cause it is the best and goes the farthest. It pre- vents and cures all poultry diseases. TURKEY DISEASES. Turkeys have the same diseases as chickens — Cholera, Roup, Pip, Gapes, etc. And should be treated in the same way, excepting that you double the dose of the poultry food. The internal organs of a turkey are the same as those of a chicken, therefore the Poultry Food has the same fattening and laying effect on turkeys. It keeps them in good health and free from disease. If you are raising turkeys for the m.arket, you will find from experience that Gold Coin Poultry Food is very profitable to feed to turkeys, as well as all other fowls. Try it. GOLD COIN GURANTEE.

(Cure of Poultry Diseases Continued on next page.) 152 Gold Coin Stockf ood Co., Union Stock Yards, CMcago. POULTRY DISEASES (Concluded). EGG BOUND. Give large dose of castor oil by the mouth, and inject about a tablespoonful into the egg-passage — this will usually allow the egg to pass, and effect a cure. An egg-bound hen looks like one with cholera; they droop; the comb becomes bluish; whitish discharge from the egg-passage; droop- ing wings; but the hen stands upright, she goes to the nest, but can't lay. Always attend to them at once, as the hen may die. Feed Gold Coin Poul- try Food liberally to such hens, to get healthy egg formation. FEEDING. Young Chicks, Turkeys, Ducklings and Goslings. Little chickens, turkeys, ducks and geese are immensely improved in development and strength by Gold Coin Poultry Food. You give one measureful in warm, wet feed to every 30 to 40 chicks, three times a day. Double the dose for turkeys, ducks and geese. It gives better shape, quicker development and increases plumpness in three-quarters of the time. It gives them strong constitutions which prevents loss by death of young chicks and turkeys. It fattens them quicker and at much less expense; and best of all, it gives the meat a most delicious flavor and texture, thus commanding the highest market values.

Gentlemen: I want to let you know how suc- cessful I have been with your Egg-a-day. My hens are mostly Plymouth Rocks and mixed breeds, but they have only a confined space to run in and I never thought I should be able to do very well with them beyond getting enough eggs for my own use. But from the first week I began to use Egg-a-day my hens increased in laying eggs, and now I usually have a couple of i'l dozen eggs a week to sell, where I never used to be able to get more than we needed in the house.

THE COLD COIN WEANER Position when calf is trying to suck. Calf cannot suck or hurt its mother or itself, as there are no prongs, but it can eat on the ground or in a box. THE BEST WEANER EVER MADE FOR CALVES, COLTS OR COWS. ove[ 200,000 in U83. Position when eating grass, grain or hay. Cow can eat but cannot sucl? herself. THE ONLY SUCCESSFUL WEANER IN THE WORLD-WHY? 1. Put the Weaner on the colts or calves and turn them loose with their mothers. They can not suck nor hurt their mothers nor themselves, as there are no prongs. 2. They can eat grass, hay or grain on the ground, and drink water or milk without trouble. You will not need a colt or calf pasture when you use the Gold Coin Weaner. 3. No cow can suck herself or any other cows, but can eat ear-corn or bran in box, also grass or hay. 4. It will wean colts as well as calves. 5. To break a horse of cribbing, or to prevent a vicious horse from biting it has no equal, but will allow them to eat and drink with ease. 6. Put large size on horses when you plow corn the last time, or cut fodder or pick sweet corn, or husk field corn, and they cannot eat the corn, as it is impossible for an animal to eat anything that stands up, such as corn, trees, etc. 7. If your cornfield has grass in it after the corn has grown, put the Weaner on the animals and turn them loose in the cornfield. They cannot eat the corn, but will eat the grass; of course, if they find corn on the ground they will eat it. THE ADVANTAGES OF A GOOD WEANER. If you have a first-class milk cow that sucks herself put a Gold Coin Cow AVeaner on her, and save $1.00 worth of milk the first week. Veterinaries say. as a rule, all cows that suck themselves are first-class milkers, because their udder gets so fuU of milk it pains them, and they lick the udder with their tongue to relieve the pain, and in this way get a taste of the milk and they suck themselves, and finds it relieves them. Once they get in this bad habit, some farmers have told me that there was only one way to break them, and that was to cut their throats, as they had tried nearly everything; but after trying the Gold Coin Cow Weaner they acknowledged they were mistaken, which you will see in some of their testimonials in our circulars. Put No. 1 CALF WEANER on a colt or calf, and turn it loose in pasture with its mother, no matter if the fence has but two wires, the calf or colt will not leave its mother but wiU be contented, and the cow will be contented, and it will learn to eat grass much quicker than it would by itself or even in calf-pasture with lots of other calves: and you all know when two or more calves are in the calf-pasture together they learn that awful bad habit of sucking one another's ears, etc., and they never do well, and if you tie your calf witharope.it will run around and twist the rope until it chokes itself most to death: and how cruel it would be to give the flies such an advantage over the poor calf. It will save annoyance of calves and cows bellowing aU day and night, which injures them both. The Gold Coin Weaner is better than a calf pasture itself. The Weaners are made of the best steel wire and dipped in hot tin after they are made, so they wiU not rust and also makes them very solid and strong, as the frame wire is braced in such a way that it is impossible for it to break. It will wear for several years.
