Important to Farmers and Stock Men
In using the Champion Double Hog Ring,
should dirt accumulate on top the nose, insert
the ring so that cross bar comes in front of
nose and not on top.   Many farmers use tlie <
ring with bar in front altogether, and it gives fj
universal satisfaction.   Insert the Champion
Double Ring carefully, and you will find that*
it is all that is claimed for it.       39—8wks.
