COST OF A DEAD COW.

No subject connected with the management of cows is of more vital importance to tlie dairy farmer than the prevention of disease in his herds. "Unless cows are healthy they cannot prove profitable; generally under other conditions they will prove a dead loss. The percentage of cows that die at calviiig-time from milk fever is considerable, and causes of abortion are so frequent as to cause a big drain on the farmer s income. Now, perhaps none of your cows have contracted milk fever. That is not to say that they will always escape. Remember, it is too late to lock the stable door after the horse has gone; too late to insure your house after it has been burnt down. Too late to buy "Svkes's Drench" after your £lO cow is dead.

" r ihe cost of a dead cow'' would pay for Mimigli "Sykes's Drench" for the whole herd for yearn. Thai's the point. Just think! jicason with yourself. My proposition is this"—You can drench each coiv with "Sykes's Drench" (before and after calving) at a. cost of Is Id. (Each packet contains two doses ) Say a cow is worth from fti to £8: suppose you neglect to treat, your cows and lose only one I his year, or, say. one in two years - thi.i is a very low estimate. If a packet «f "Sykos's Drench" will nave that cow. are v,, n justilied in not using' it. 1 want you to use "Sykes's Drench" thk season. Buy it In- the dozen; if.s cheaper. lit striclly in accordance with the directions on each package. Drench each cow before and after calving. Us,, it. intelligently, with the dcteruiinalion of proving for yourself its value. Thousands of intelligent farmers use

'Sykcs's Drench." Surely there in list Ijo good reasons lor it. I can show you thousands of testimonials— the original ones—from all parts of the Dominion ami .Australia,—A. R. Sykes, Chemist, New Plymouth.—Advt.
