“Not a sick cow since feeding
Buckeye Hulls"
Mr. A. Thompson, Kennesaw, Ga., runs a dairy. He has been
feeding fifty head of stock with Buckeye Hulls for the past year.
He says that he has not had a sick cow in ail that time.

V HULLS X
LINTLCSS
agree with cattle. They do not clog or flux the digestive tract.
When wet, they combine perfectly with other feed, insuring forage
of uniform value down to the last particle. No farmer should pay
for lint which is worthless as food and may cause trouble when he
can buy Buckeye Hulls which are lintless and certain to give good
results. Even at the same price, Buckeye Hulls would be a better
buy than old style hulls. But they cost so much less that any
feeder can see it is poor business to use anything else.
To secure the best results and to develop !he ensilage odor, wet tfie hulls
thoroughly twelve hours before feeding. It is easy to do this by
wetting them down night and morning for the next feeding. If at any time
this cannot be done, wet down at least thirty minutes. If you prefer to
feed the hulls dry, use only half as much by bulk as of old style hulls.
Book of Mixed Feeds Free
Gives the right formula for every combination of feeds used in the South. Tells
how much to feed for maintenance, for milk, for fattening, for work. Describes
Buckeye Hulls and gives directions for using them properly. Send for your
copy to nearest mill.

GOULD PUT WHOLE BURDEN
OF WAR ON UNITED STATES
> ATLANTA, Ga., June 21.—America
should not repeat the British mistakes
-of censorship, declared Pomeroy Bur
ton, right-hand man of Lord North
c’iffe and managing editor of the Lon
don Daily Mail and Paris Daily Mail, in
ar address yesterday afternoon to the
Rotary convention in this city.
“The censorship already has cost
thousands of lives and untold treas
ure,” declared Mr. Burton, speaking
from the standpoint of the Allies, and
his inference was that the American
people be told the truth about the pro
gress of the war, except wnere publi
cation of military or naval movements
would furnish information of value tn
the enemy.
“The war will last from five to twen '
ty/ jyears unless America organizes
quickly and on an enormous scale.”
said Burton. “If Germany by some
unexpected coup or accident should
overthrow the British fleet then Amer
ica would be wiped off the earth.”
USE OF SUGAR INCREASED
SINCE DRY LAW WAS ENACTED
ATLANTA, Ga., June 21. —Atlanta
physicians are wondering if the in
creased use of sugar has any connec •
ticn with the disappearance of whiskey
since the bone dry law was enacted. It
is a peculiar fact that sugar is one of
the staple commodities which has
steadily increased in consumption des
pite the increase in price, while other
articles of increased price have fallen
off in consumption. The habit of thirs- 1
ty drinkers to munch sugar to satisfy
tueir craving may be the explanation.
