CALP REARING TESTS. Recent experiments carried out at Ruakuia and Wcraroa State Farms proved that calves can be reared, to advantage without the use of either skim milk or whey, both of which are becoming very valuable for other purposes. The food recommended is a balanced ration of cereals—not just one by-pro-duct such as linseed meal. C'ercmilk the finest cereal food made for calves, combines in perfect quantities all the necessary food elements required-to rear healthy, well-proportioned animals, costs less than inferior substitutes because it goes farther and has a more beneficial effect. Mr R. Highet, a well-known dairy farmer of Claudcboys, Temuka, says: —“After years ol experience with calves I must say that Ccremilkj is the best calf food I have ever used.” Ceremilk is sold by all Stores.
