Lebanon Farmers

Some Lebanon County principles similar to no-till

The little dry feed it takes
to fill this tiny "fuel tank"
must be
LOADED with POWER
It takes mighty little pig starter and sow’s milk to fill the
"fuel tank" of a week old pig. Yet, it must provide quick
energy, fast growth and protection against disease. It
must contain all vital nutrients sow’s milk may lack—and
in just the right balance. Most important of all, pigs must
like it. No matter how great a pig starter may be, all is lost
if pigs won’t eat it.
Pigs love Purina starters—Baby Pig Chow, Early Weaning
Chow, Pig Startena. And Purina starters offer "built-in”
livability, plus grow-and-go power to bounce pigs off to a
fast, thrifty start. Keeps ’em going, too. Fed Purina all the
way, hogs have raced to market weight in five months
(often less) and make pork for remarkably low cost.
Folks around here are finding out... Pigs start, grow,
finish fast on Purina. Call us soon and order Purina Hog
Chow.

the county this spring and
summer. Grasses and
legumes such as alfalfa,
clovers, crown vetch and
birdsfoot trefoil weeds will
be controlled by applying 2-4,
