TOMOANA HAYSTACK MIXTURE is a mineralised molasses-salt-meal mixture specially designed for inclusion when stacking hay. Made as a crumbly meal for easy handling of the molasses, it is simply thrown on layer by layer as the stack is built. ' The mixture works in two ways. It might at first be thought that its main purpose would be to simplify feeding out molasses and concentrates in the winter when hay is normally fed out--for it is widely recognised that the feeding of molasses in winter helps to prevent such ailments as grass staggers, milk fever and acetonaemia. But more important still is the curing effect of TOMOANA HAYSTACK FIXTURE. Being gradually absorbed, the mixture gives a good “cure” to the whole bulk of the hay. I ton of Mixture will treat as modi as 50 tons of hay. , Enrich your hay , make sure it opens up Results speak for themselves Hautapu, October, 1940. < t Last year I used your Tomoana Haystack Mixture in m.y hay-crop, and despite the fact that it got wet and tended to be out of condition at time of stacking the stack opened up in first-c ass condition. The hay was very palatable and the cattle cleaned up every straw of it. I had no calving troubles and not one cowretained its cleanings. This i:i view of the trouble I have had in previous years is extremely satisfactory. They have been milking exceptionally well since they came in. My herd have oeen averaging me a pound and a half of butter-fat per cow per day during September. In some measure I must attribute this to the Haystack mixture. -One other thing I noticed was that although in past years my cows have gone through a quantity of stock lick, this year they would not touch it, and I can only conclude that their mineral requirements were satisfied through the haystack. I intend using your mixture again this year ” Yours faithiuliy, (signed) A. J. HOLMBj. “ Maninui ”, Bruntwood. September is;, 1.46. . .
