THE COST OF A DEAD COW. No subject connected with the management of cows is of mora vital importance, to tlie dairy farmer than the prevention of disease in his lierda. Unless cows are healthy they cannot prove profitable; generally under other conditions they will prove a dead loss. Tliu percentage of cows that die id eiilvinu-liuie from milk fever is considerable, and causes of abortion arc so frequent as to cause a big drain on the farmer's income. Now, perhaps none of your cows hiive contracted milk fever. That is not to say that they will always escape. llomoniber, it is too late to lock the stable door after the horse lias gone; 100 laic to insure your house after it has been burnt down. Too late to buy "Sykes's Drench" after your £lO cow is dead.

"Tins cost of n (lend cow" would pay | t'ov enough "Sykcs's Drench" for the' whole hortl for years. That's the point. Just think! Reason with yourself. My proposition is this:—You can drench each cow with "Sykes's Drench" (before iintl after calving) at a cost of Is 4d. (Each packet contains two doses ) Say «. cow is worth from £0 to £8; suppose you neglect to treat your cows and lose only one this year, or, say, one in two vears— this is n very low estimate, if a packet of "Sykes's Drench" will save that cow, are you justilied in not using it. I want you ty use ''Sykes's Drench - ' this season. Buy it by the dozen; it's cheaper. Vsa.it strictly in accordance with the directions on each package. Drench each cow before and after calv* | nig. Use it intelligently, with the determination of proving for yourself its value. Thousands of intelligent farmers use "Sykes's Drench." Surely there must be'good reasons for it. I can show you thousands of testimonials— the original ones—from all parts of the Dominion ami Australia.—A. A. Sykei, Chemist, New Plymouth.—Advt.
