Here is your chance to profit from over three years of thorough and careful experiments and tests that have been made on Mr. Arthur Meeker's "Arcady Farm" at Lake Forest, 111.

We are specializing on Arcady Dairy Feed because what it has done for others it surely can do for you. It is made from Malt Sprouts, Dried Brewers' Grains. Cottonseed Meal, Grains and Grain Products, Cane Molasses and Salt, specially treated to get maximum digestibility, bulky and extremely palatable. Arcady Dairy Feeds ate sold on a quality basis only.
