Taranaki Farmers Astounded By Results of Calf-Raising with “Faterine?’ A REVOLUTION IN CALF-FEEDING.

CALVES DID SO WELL—LEFT THEM IN BUSH ALL WINTER. Glover Road. Hawera, July 14, 1921. “I am pleased to advise that my experiences in the use of ‘Faterine’ have been particularly successful. I secured ‘Faterine’ last year, and fed the calves with cold whey from two days old—fed them in the usual -ly for three months—they were then weaned and turned out on to my bush property at fkrarata. Hitherto I have always had to bring my calves into town to feed them, but they have done so well, and main* tained their condition, that I have ' left them out in the bush all the winter. It is the first year I have been able to turn them out this way. Feeding is perfectly simple, and a vast saving of time and labor—noticed particularly we had no scouring. I might mention I had one late calf, sickly and in poor condition, which I really thought impossible to rear, but I treated this calf with ‘Faterine/ and it is now in fine condition.” J. R. ALEXANDER, Director, Hawera Co-op. Dairy Co., Ltd. NEVER HAD CALVES TO DO SO WELL THROUGH WINTER. NO SCOURING. Fraser Road, Hawera, July 13, 1921. “I have to advise having used ‘Faterine’ last year, using it in the following way:—-One part new milk to six parts water—previously I never experienced rearing calves without having scours more or less. Those rearing on ‘Faterine’ did not scour at any time and they were fed with ‘Faterine’ from birth. Further than that, they maintained their condition throughout the winter since being weaned, and I have never had calves to do co well us these and retain their constitution. I am convinced that with ‘Faterine’ I had the best results, in that these calves are Jerseys, and harder to rear than Shorthorns and Holsteins, which I previously bred. Feeding them is simplicity itself—no waste, and calves go for it.” L. A. JENNINGS, Director Hawera Co-op. Dairy Co., Ltd. CALVES SUFFERED BADLY—NOW IN FINE HEALTHY CONDITION. THRIVE THROUGHOUT THE WINTER. Lake Road, Hawera. “I have to advise you of having used 'Faterine’ on my calves. Previously I fed them on milk, meal, and water —they suffered badly from dry coats, blood scours, and were not thriving. I then tried ‘Faterine,’ added to this preparation, and I soon • found the calves’ coat® improved, immediately taking on a good healthy appearance. They continued to thrive throughout the winter, and are now in a fine healthy condition. In my experience I would strongly recommend all dairymen to use ‘Faterine’ for rearing calves.” . V. W. NOWELL, Director, Hawera Co-op. Dairy f Co., Ltd.

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 success 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-niontha old calves reared without “Faterine.” Note also the unanimous opinion cs 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 ten 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 been removed from skim-milk or whey. It is an animal fat easily digested by all 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 (Joz.) 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 calf 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.

SIX MONTHS’ OLD CALVES SOLD AT £6 PER HEAD. FED WITH WHEY AND FATERINE, & THRIVE THROUGH WINTER. Beach Road, Hawera. “Kindly send me three more tins of ‘Faterine’ immediately. I may say 1 have tried out ‘Faterine’ on Jersey calves for the past six months with cold whey. These calves received no special attention—they were running out in an open paddock, and the whey was very often two days old. The results prove ‘Faterine’ is all it is claimed to be—the calves go for the food and lick the troughs dry. I had no trouble with scours, and the calves thrived through the winter and maintained splendid condition. I have proof of that in the sale of them, when my calves (six months old.) sold this week at £6 per head, realising the same price as; my other calves (10 months old), which were not reared on ‘Faterine.’ It is my first experience in being able to rear calves successfully on whey, as hitherto they always were troubled with scours, and could not maintain their condition through the winter. The simplicity in feeding is in itself a big factor.” H. J. BOURKE. PIGS FROM SAME LITTER OVER 34L8. HEAVIER AFTER BEING FED ON FATERINE. Hawera, June 15, 1921. “I tried out the ‘Faterine’ I purchased from you last March for pigs, end the results have astonished me. I need only give you the comparison in weights from the 11 weaners, all the same age—six of these having been fed on whey and ‘Faterine, the other five being fed on whey, cereals, and root crops. Those reared on ‘Faterine’ and whey brought the following dead weights at the Hawera Abattoirs:—lo2lb, 831 b, 821 b, 761 b, 721 b, and 721 b; total, 4871 b, or an average weight of 81 l-81b. The other five, 571 b, 561 b, 421 b. 421 b and 38ib; total, 2351 b. or an average weight of 471 b, showing a difference in favor of those fed on ‘Faterine’ of 34 l/81b per pig, and in addition these latter took 10 weeks longer to fatten. Those on ‘Faterine’ had fine silky coats, and skins, a healthy appearance as compared with those fed on cereals and. root crops. These results with ‘Faterine’ have been an eye-opener to me.” A. J. HASELTINE. PREPARATION AND FEEDING ARE SIMPLICITY ITSELF. The Oaks, Hawera, June 15, 1921. “I have pleasure in stating that I am more than pleased with the results obtained from the use of ‘Faterine.’ It has been fed to my calves with splendid results, and given to animals as a medicine. I found it gave immediate relief and a speedy cure for pneumonia. Its preparation and feeding are simplicity itself, and a big saving of time is effected in comparison with old methods of feeding.” J. R. CORRIGAN, Chairman, Hawera Co-op. Dairy Co., Ltd.
