The little dry feed it takes to fill this tiny “fuel tank” must be LOADED WITH POWER! Purina Pig Starters give your pigs EXTRA protection for about V2oper day It takes mighty little dry feed and sow’s milk to fill the tiny “fuel tank" of a baby pig from the time he’s a week old until he's three weeks old. An average of about an ounce a day of loaded-with-power Purina Baby Pig Chow or Purina Early Weaning Chow is all it takes to give him extra energy, fast growth and disease protection. This extra protection during this critical period costs about V 2 cent per pig per day! That’s low-cost insurance to provide pigs with the “built-in’’ livability, the grow and go power, offered by Purina starters. Pigs love Purina Baby PigChowand Purina Early Weaning Chow, too—and that’s important, for it makes no differ ence how great a pig starter may be, if pigs won’t eat it. Let us help you get your pigs off to a thrifty start with Purina Baby Pig Chow or Purina Early Weaning Chow. Stop in and see us soon. John J. Hess, 11, Inc.
