OIL MEAL J ALSO KNOWN UNDER THE NAMSS OF LiTNSSED MEiALi AND OIL CAKE MEAL The Best Food KnoTirn for Live Stock. Of 1 V It is as necessary to apply business aud scientific principles in stock feeding as any other industry. Competition is sharp and profits consequently close. It therefore behooves every one engaged in this occupation to buy and proportioa the feed for their stock with a yiew to the best results for money expended, bearing in mind that the lowest priced commodity is not always the cheapest. The extra cost of a desirable article should not stand in '' . way of its use, if the results obtained justify the outlay. The object of this circular is to show that there is ample compensation for any additional cost of Oil Meal. The stock raisers of England and Germany have for years given it the iirtt chcice an a teed, and hence the larger proportion of all we produce has gone to those countrjes. The simple statement of this fact ought to be a sufficient proof of the value of it, and the best argument in favor of its home use. Baussengault, the distinguish- ed French cWiaist, estimates the nutriment in 10() pounds of Oil Meal as equal to 300 pounds of oats, 318 pounds of corn, 500 pounds of hay, 800 pounds of wheat bran, 2,000 pounds of potatoes, 3,000 pounds of carrots. The experience of those who have fed it in this country fully confirms this estimate, and it is daily growing in popularitv wherever introduced, . ,, , . Oil Meal is the most nutritious of all foods because it contains the largest amount of nitrogenous substance The feeding value of any food is based by all scientific men on the amount of albuminoids or nitrogenous matter it contains. In ordinary food, such as corn, oats, bran and hay, there is an excess of starch, sugar and cellulose, which are classed under the head of carbo-hydrates. The following table, compiled from analyses of eminent agricultural chemists, will show the relative proportion of albuminoids to carby-hydrates m the various kinds of food : FOOD. Oil Meal Beans Peas OatB Wheat Barley Indian Corn . . Clover Hay . . Meadow Hav . Water. 12.0 14.6 14.3 13.0 14.4 14.0 11.4 16.0 14.3 Albumi- noids. 82.S 25.5 22.4 12.9 11.3 10.6 10.4 12.8 9.7 Fat. 6.0 1.6 2.0 9.0 15 2.0 6.1 2.2 2.5 Carbo-hy- drates. 83.3 45.9 52.5 53.8 68.1 63.7 68.5 38.2 41.0 Manurisl valoe Fiber.

By reference to the above table it will be seen that the ratio of corn is about 1 to 7, clover hay 1 to 3^ oats 1 to 4, while Oil Meal has nearly 1 to 1. It therefore follows that a judici- ous admixture of Oil Meal v/ith any of the above feeds or with corn fodder, straw, etc., will raise their value correspondingly, and. such has been the ex- perience of those who have tried it. In Germany, where feeding has become a science, a table has been made of the relative value of the different feeds. It makes one pound of dig«tible, Uesh- forming food worth four and one-third. cents, and one pound carbo-hydrates, or fat and heat-producing food, nine tenths of a cent. AS A FOOD FOR COWS GIVING MILK. As a milk and butter producer Oil Meal has no equal. It not only increases the flow of milk, but adds greatly to its richness in cream. With a cow accus- tomed to corn meal, bran, shorts and the like, the increase wiU be from one to two quarts at each milking within twenty-four hours after beguming with it. A cow, to be able to give a full flow of milk, must have food richer in nitrogen than would be required for any other animal, since milk itself is composed largely of ftlbuminoids, and this can only be supplied from food containing this substance. The first demand of a cow upon the nitrogen of food is to supply waste of tissue, and only the surplus will go to milk. AS A FOOD FOR PRODUCING MEAT. For beef cattle this meal has fattening properties which cannot be found in any other feed, Jie beef being not only more tender and juicy, and of much finer quality than when fattened on other feed alone, but they are more quickly pre- pared for market. It has been demonstrated in the Rothamsted experiments, that with a mix- ture of equal parts of Oil Meal and corn meal a hog will gain one pound for every 4i lbs. fed. The exact ratio of increase was for the' first two weeks 15^ lbs. from 60 lbs. fed ; in the second two weeks, 17i lbs. from (J7| lbs. fed ; in the third two weeks, 13 1-5 lbs. from 66^ lbs fed ; and in the fourth two weeks, 13 lbs. from 66 lbs fed, being an average increase of 100 lbs. for 45J lbs. consumed, ^very farm- er knows this is a better result than can be had by feeding corn alone. Probablv no one ever made more than 100 lbs. increase in hogs with 10 bushels of corn. No other animal will produce equal results, and it is undoubtedly true that the pig is the most economical meat-making machine at the farmer's disposal. In the feeding of sheep. Dr. Voeleker, ii he Journal of the Royal Agricul- tural Society, gives .the results of experiments with different materials in propor- tion to the increased weight gained. In the use of Oil Meal, cotton seed meal, crushed oats, barley and beans, the results were as follows : During the first period of 33 days, the several pens increased in weight from 6.6 oz to 7.6 0.?!. daily apiece. In the second period of similar length, the sheep increased in weight only from 1.5 oz to 5.2 oz. daily. The period was one of severe weather, and the result proved that a waste of food i s inevitably incurred in the winter sheepfold. Combined oats and barley did fVve worst, and the lin- seed cake dad the best of all the foods. In the third period the increase per head varied from 8 oz to 14.7 oz. daily. Over the whole period ok 106 days, the sheep fed on linseed cake increased 77 oz. daily; those en mixecT Unseed and cotton cakes incseased 6.3 oz.; on crushed oats and barley, 6.1 oz.; and on crushed oats and beans, 6.2 oz. daily. AS A FOOD FOR HORSES. Oil Meal is a valu.^ble addition to the food of horaes. The waste is little, (Buiting the small gut capacity of the horse. It is easy of digestion, enabling horses to be used sooner after eating, and as it is a cooked food the germ has been destroyed and there is no danger from colic. It is cooling and gives the horse a glossy coat and flexible hide. The tine appearance of English horses xs largely due to the use of this meal. NEW AND OLD PROCESS UNSEED MEAL. The question is often asked, what is the differeuco between old and new pro- cess Linseed Meal ? We will briefly reply. Both are the residue from the manu- facture of linseed into oil. In the old process no chemicals whateTcr are used, the oil beiuj4 extracted by heat and pre.ssuro, leaving the cake pure and unchang- ed. This cake is then ground into meal. By the new process, tl.'C oil is extracted by steeping in naptha. This chemical then has to be removed, leaving the meal a dry chatfy substance, with not more than 2 or 2^ per cent, of oil retained in it. We guarantee our old process meal to contain not less than 6^ per cent, of oil, wliich fact alone must be evidence of grejit difference in value. All meal manu- factured by the Niagara Linseed Oil vVorks guaranteed strictly pure and by th-e ^f^d pioogns only. HOW TO FEED OIL MEAL.

Beeman, Napanee. •Napanke, Jan. 31, 1888. Sir I have fed up live hundred pounds of Linseed Meal purchased iiom vou, I feed half grain ^nd half Linseed Meal at each feed to my horses. I never Iny. horses grow faster or appear in better condition than since feedmg the meal i got from you— one horse in particular,! never saw a horse grow like hnn. l nougn I am feeding the meal heavier that you advised it does not in the least scour my horses, but keeps them what I consider just right in theboWs^t consider it by far the cheapest and best feed going. HUGH MlLLiliNtj. LOOK AT THIS -READ CAREFULLY. ' A \vor«i to Farmers and Stockmen. I honestly can and do recommend Oil Meal to parties raising stock, or as a general food for animals. It is cheaper than gram at present prices, and if more of our stock raisers would make use of it they would find it greatly to their advantage. I use it continuj^'ly, mixed half and half with either bran and shorts, or ground feed. It is an f< aost indispea- sible thing fdr brood tnares in foal and milch «ows, and you can raise calves on it withont a particle of milk. It is a natural food for animals, being a gram and containing much more nutriment than other grain, and why not use it when cheaper than other food. Give it a trial, and if your animals do not thrive on it I will forfeit ray reputation. E. MING, V. S.

As the demand for Oil Meal has increased beyond my anticipations, so much so that to attend to it properly interferes with my other l-asiness, I have handed It over to PEliRY & CO., Druggists, one door east of the Tichborne House, it being more in their hna. My only object in taking the matter up was to obtain the meal for my own use at a reasonable rate, and if possible to bring it into gen- oral use in this section, so that the demand might make it profitable to handle enabling dealers to bring it in in large lots, to sell it at a small profit, and make the price of it low enough so that it would be more generally used. This has been accomplished, as stock growers havy not been slow to appreciate Oil Meal for general feeding. Perry & Co have taken a car load of the meal off my han.is and wdl fill all oniers which have been left with me at the price I sold it at, viz.', H 60 per 100 lbs , bags free, which is but a slight advance on the cost of the meal! tor the benefit of stock raisers in this section, I hope to see Oil Meal come into general use.
