WHAT A COW REQUIRES AT CALVING TIME.

Extract from "Wailcato Argus," 'Jannarv 9,1907:—. ..: ... . "'Argus,'January 9, 1907. "In your issuo of 2nd iilt. I notice an article culled from an English paper. The writer recommends an injection of iodide of potassium into the udder; as a cure. This possibly be of some use, butt personally I believe in the old adage,' 'Prevention is better than cure.' Bound this district the farmers. ; do not wait until the milk fever appears, but thoy believe in>.preventing its appearance. If cows are given Sylos's Drench before_ and immediately, after calving,,it purifies the blood and maies them better able to withstand ■ disease.;. ' ; . "A cow is just likq a human being in'one respect—-if the blood' is kept piire there is little danger of catching any disease that may be knocking round. • - ••"'. "(Signed) ' ■.BUTTER-FAT. '• - "Warea, Taranaki." The above opinion is confirmed by Mr. 11. Dobson, Hastings Koad, Okaiawa:—'.'l have a very high opinion of Sykes's Drench, having used it two seasons in different cases always with success. I hare found it can be given with, advantage before calving, and without any fear ot doing harm As a preventive of milk foyer it is hard to boat, and it seems jnst what a cow requires, and ought to get after calving. ,Sykee's Drench ought to be at hand in all cow sheds and used freely." ■ . . ■ : . , Use only Sykes's Drench, because it is tho best. Price.ls. 6d. packet; or 16s. by the dozen. Better buy it by the dozen. Write for Booklet.—Advt. X ". .'
