FARMERS RUSH NEW FOOD FOR WINTERING COWS

Dairy farmers all over the North j Island have not lost much time in j realising the value of Mother ! Liquor Tritrate for spreading on I hay-^-for the low protein content of ! most hay (which is not made good I by molasses) is probably a prime I reason for the winter malnutrition | of cows. And this factor has some of its worst effects in grass staggers and milk fever when the flush of spring arrives. At 33s per 44 gallon drum, Mother Liquor Tritrate is of - course easily the cheapest stock food obtainable — even including the 15s 6*d drum eharge which must be added. And when it is realised that this new product contains the starch equivalemt of a hundredweight of barle'y meat, plus the protein of a hundredweight of meat-meal in every drum, it will be seen clearly just why Mother Liquor Tritrate is being ordered fast, and in laree auantities.

In addition to providing the cheapest and most palatable of all supplementary foods for wintering cows (indeed, for all stock) , Mother Liquor Tritrate has an extremely high Vitamin B and mineral content: each. drum contains the equivalent, in these factors, of over a ton of barley. Small wonder that those farmers who were lucky enough to secure stocks last winter are laying in supplies now. Seven to eight drums per month provide a» 2 lb. daily ration for 50 cows. Orders, through your dairy^company, product merchant, or direct to Patea Freezing Co., Ltd., will be dealt with strictly in order of receipt. The above prices are f.o.r. Patea. Write to W. and R. Fletcher (N.Z.) Ltd., Box 663, Wellington, for feeding directions leaflet. — i Advt. x j
