ATTENTION CATTLE AND HOG FEEDERS

The irovuois Roller MIU. is to | receipt, of the following letter from the Golden Grain Milling Co.: Iroquois KoUer Mills, ;? < 7?* Rensselaer, Ind. Gentlemen: Our Mr. W. A JMckamiD) informs us that you are •Ding to push our FAT BACK HOG FWD, and we appreciate that you want to try this feed out, or at least have It tried out wifo some <4 your good customers, £ and ascertain whether R has all ttoe merit we claim for - • • I presume there are 25 or 20 mills manufacturing HOG FEED today, and it to reasonable to expect they are claiming to haw the best

HOG FMD on the market. Before going into both uhe HOG FEED and CATTLE FEED business, we gave both of these particular feeds qcn> siderable study, in /fact, I have in my office 3,200 government bulletins on ‘Hog Feeding Teats” tihat .were conducted by the United Stotee government and various »tote\«gricultural colleges. There to nothing going into our HOG FEEDS 'but what will make good, solid, firm pork; ' We find a great many of our oompetitorM using peanut meal, a product that we know will make soft and oily pork. We find other competitors that are using rice bran, and . while rice brim to quite digestible in a pig’s we are fully convinced that it to not digestible in a hog’s stomach, and a large--quantity of rice bran will prove very detrimental. We have W> apologies to make for a single ingredient that enters our HOG FEEDS and that doesn’t except the WHEAT SCREENINGS that we use. Tlie SCREENINGS that we use come out of our own elevator, and are

sorted, and the bitter feeds are taken out when sold and the balance of the broken grains are reground and bolted. Very few of our competitors anywhere in the Country maintain a

chemical laboratory, and once or twice a year they send a sample to a public chemist and have it analyzed, and we assure, youi they do not send many samples, for it costs about- S2G L-r each sample that is analyzed by a public chemist- i If they manufacture ten different kinds of feed, you can readily see that it will cost them |2GO every time v they have their feeds analyzed. /j We maintain our own ehemlcal laboratory, right here in this very office, under the direct supervision of a registered pharmacist druggist, and his assistant, and every stogie carload of RAW MATERIALS that edme into our plant, is analyzed in this laboratory before it is spotted at our mill for unloading. Every single earload of finished feeds that is shipped from our plant to analyzed before the car is permitted to lehve our city. Even the feed we loaded out for you this morning is being run in. our laboratory at. thievery hour, and 4f there is anything wrong with the feed, that it to not up to our standard, the car will be ordered back to our plant late to<toy. to this connection will state that we run our guarantees all above what we claim for them on both our tag and bag, so it is never necessary for us to order back any of our feeds. The first time you came to St. Louis we will be glad to show you aroumd our plant and let you see the great care we take in the miaai>ufacture of all of our feeds. /We really should have advanced our HOG FEED 11 per ton the last time we Changed prices on our other feeds, but we have been holding off simply because we had some RAW MATERIALS purchased quite a little under present prices. U it becomes necessary to raise the price on our FAT BACK HC FEED during the next 10 days or two weeks, I will protect you on two or three cartoads of feed, subject, of course, to your acceptance at the time we raise our prices. For your information McCoy & Garten of Indianapolis handle five, six and as high as seven carloads of our FAT BACK HOG FEED per month, and I presume they tried at least a half dozen different feeds before taking on the sale of our FAT BACK. We have been shipping them our HOG FEED for a matter of about 18 months, and they will be glad to tell you that It runs identically the same today as it did at the time we made our first Shipment to them. On the 11:30 mail this morhing we received an order from Mr. W. S. Dickason to ship you a 40-ton earload of as per our order acknowledgment attached. ’ it so happened that we* had an tog -one plant ■ and we have juA dispatched yen a wire giving the give to our customers during normal times.
