JSSSS mm mmsm *f hay was *»W6 C/ S 3 H x '-^' m mm 7 m mu HHf TOMOANA HAYSTACK MIXTURE is a mineralY ised 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 moiasses and concentrates in the winter when hay is normally fed out for it is widely recognised that the feeding of. molasses in winter helps s to prevent such ailments as grass staggers, milk fever and acetonaemia. But more important still is the curing effect of TOMOANA HAYSTACK MIXTURE. Being gradually absorbed, the mixture gives a good “cure” to the whole bulk of the hay. I ton of Mixture will treat as much as SO tons of hay. Results speak for themselves Hautapu, October, 1946. ** Last year I used your Tomoana Haystack Mixture in my 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-class condition. The hay was very palatable and the cattle cleaned up every straw of it. I had no calving troubles and not one cow retained its cleanings. This in 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 been 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'l noticed was that although in past years my v 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 faithfully, (signed) A. J. HOLMES. “Maninui", Bruntwood. September Ist, 1946. I used your Tomoana Haystack Mixture for part of my hay and ensilage crop last year, and despite the fact that owing to the adverse conditions the hay was a bit on the dry side, with the addition of the molasses mixture, it came out of the stack in firstclass condition, and proved 100% palatable. I used about 4% of the mixture in the haystack *and about 2% in the ensilage. I am well pleased with the mixture and consider it the ideal way of feeding molasses, so I intend to use it in all future saves of hay, etc. Yours faithfully, (signed) R. H. N. HERBERT (*Note: The normal rate of treatment is 2%. ,More is sometimes used inhere the hay becomes over-dry before stacking.) Enrich your hay, make sure it opens up next season in first-class condition. TOMOAMA HAYSTACK. MIXTURE ft For further information write to: W. & R. FLETCHER (N.Z.) LTD., Box 663, Wellington.
