When seven prominent farmers in the big dairying district of Taranaki, including directors of the Hawera Co-op. Dairy Co., Ltd., all testify to the su-’cess they have obtained in rearing calves with ‘'Faterine/’ it is obvious that there must be some good reason for their statements. Read their letters printed below, and you will see that all their calves have been brought on in splendid condition. Not only that, but in Mr. Bourke’s case his six-months-old “Faterine”-reared calves sold for the same as 10-months old calves reared without “Faterine.” Note also the unanimous opinion as to saving of time in feeding. LABOR AND TIME SAVER. NO BOILING OR SCALDING. One farmer states that it used to take him two hours, night and morning, to prepare and feed 40 calves with meal. With “Faterine” he can do it in ton minutes. Think what a saving of time and labor this means. Multiply the three hours forty minutes saved each day, and reckon what this means in labor saved on your farm in a year. “Faterine” has to be mixed with skimmilk or whey only. There is no scalding or boiling required. Just stir it in—that is all. WHAT “FATERINE” IS. “Faterine” is a substitute for the butter-fat that has bee:, removed from skim-milk or whey. It is an animal fat easily digested by al] animals, with no chemicals added, and is exactly like butter-fat in its action. By using “Faterine” you can send all your butter-fat to the dairy factory and replace it in the skim-milk or whey with a substitute which is most beneficial to the calf, yet costs but a fraction of what the butterfat returns. WHAT “FATERINE” COSTS. According to farming experts it costs £4 10s to raise a calf on meals and milk at the present time. With “Faterine” one tablespoonful (|oz.) is sufficient for healthy Calves for every gallon of skim-milk or whey for each calf or grown pig every night and morning. In a onegallon tin there are 310 feeds, and at the price of 22/6 a gallon (tins included) this works out at less than Id per feed. With “Faterine” you can feed— One calf for 60 days for 7/6. One cn]f for 90 days for 11/3. 20 Calves for 90 days for £ll ss. Or about ONE-EIGHTH of the cost of ordinary meals and milk. “Faterine” is also a valuable and nutritious food for horses, and is splendid for forcing on show cattle. Pigs require the same quantity as calves, horses three tablespoonsful, and cattle four tablespoonsful, once a day.
