Crushed Oats
Crushed Oats contain 1.85 per cen.t
more Protein, 77 per cent more Fat
and 81 per cent less Fiber than Whole
Oats.
We, are positive thnt your horses will
cat better, look better, digest more,
and do more work on Crushed Oats
than they will on Whole Oats.
Why do we think so? Because we
are getting repeat orders every day
from people who actually know their
horses are doing better.
It will take but one good trial to
fonvlnce you of the value of Crushed
Oats; not only the feeding value but
the economical value. It requires
about one third less Crushed Oats than
Whole Oats to get the same results,
when fed according to measure.
In these strenuous days when horses
are worked to the limit, it requires a
concentrated feed that is easily di
gestible. Crushed Oats fill the bill.
A HUMANE FEED FOR YOUR
FAITHFUL HORSE CROSBY'S
CRUSHED OATS.

AY hop. Col. Roosevelt was president

ber of his cabinet :ilid now senator

slattsiuaii ot his tune. Froi-ablv the
colonel would r vise this estimate at
the present time, as Air. boot was one
of the men who refused to fellow the
Lull Moose leader when he broke away
from tin Republican party. -Mr. Root
is getting alone; n years, which prob
ably accounts for his decision to re
tire to private life when his present
term ends. The New York World is a

or criticism. In noting Mr. Root's de

been president but for his record :.s ;i

public life. The World then speaks
these highly a pprec ia t i e words of a

"Mr. Root is today one of the two
commanding intellects in the public
life of the country, the other being
Uooilrow Wilson. lie win he remem
bered as a great secretary of war who
reorganized the I'nited States army
after the military experts had muddled

ed also as a very competent secretary
of state, and in the I'nited States Sen
ate he has upheld the highest traditions
of that body.
"Although his name is not identified
in the public mind with any notable
piece of legislation, Mr. Root is gener
ally recognized as the ablest man in
the Senate. His time and his talents
there have been devoted exclusively
to public ipiest ions. He lias not been
a pat ronnge-broker or .1 manipulator
of bills or a partv whip. Few senators
lave shown such consistent independ
ence, and lie has ilehatcil no ouestion
without shedding light on it.
"The World was a vigorous oppon
ent ot Mr. Root s election to the Sen
ate, but it is pleased to testify that
none of its in is i v i ri jis was ever realiz
ed, and it sincerely regrets his deter
mination not to be a candidate for re
election. There is nobody loft in either
patty who can (ill his place.
"It has been said of many men that
their retirement was a loss to the state
and nation, but in the case of Senator
Root it is a very real lo-'s and a toss
for which there are no compensations."
