THE TRUE VALUE OF CEREr.IILIC Can beat be judged by results obtained by experienced farmers. Testimonials from all parts of New Zealand and Australia, and sales that i are steadily increasing prove conclusively the value of Ceremilk. Once a farmer has tried it for rearing calves, lie becomes a staunch supporter. There is no better food for laying the foundation of vigorous, healthy, valuable sttjek. Calves thrive dn Ceremilk because it is so rich in food values and is so easily assimilated and digested. Every dairy farmer who wants to make an asset of his calves should use Ceremilk, and avoid cheaper substitutes, which invariably prove more costly in the long run. Ceremilk is made by Fleming Co., Gore, and is sold by all Stores. 44
