FARMERS RUSH NEW FOOD FOR WINTERING COWS

Dairy farmers all over the North Is'and have not lost much time in •realising, the value of Mother Liquor , Tritrate for spreading on hay — for the low protein content of most hay (which is not made good by molasses) is probably a prime reason for the winter malnutrition of cows. And this factor has some of its worst effeets in grass staggers and niilk fever when the flush of. spring arrives. At 33s per 44 gallon drurn, MoLher Liquor Tritrate is of course easily the cheapest stock food obtainable — even inc'uding the 15s 6;d drum charge which must be added. And- when it is realisdd that this new product contains the starch equivalent of a hundredweight of barley meal, plus tlie protein of a hundredweight of meat-m.eal in every drum, it will be seen clearly just why Mother Liquor Tritrate is being ordered fast, and in large quantities. • In addition to ° providing the cheapest and most palatable of al) aupplementary foods for wintering cows (indeed, for all stock) , Mothei" ; . Liquor Tritrate has an ex remely. ^ high Vitamin B and nfineral cnnteiit: each drum contains the f equivalent, in these- factors, of over a. ton of barlev. SmaT wofider that those farmers who were luckv ■ eno.ugh to. secure stocks last winte1" : are laying in supplies nbw. , , Seven to eight drums per month "provide i a 2 ib. daily ration for 50 cows.
