£l5OO Lost In 10 Years on a Herd of 50 Cows The labour and expense of keeping a herd of 50 cows is just the same whether the return is £ 2 per month or £3 per month. If by neglecting to take some precaution, or by failing to provide adequate feed, a dairyman, makes only £2 per head per month, instead of, say, £ 2/5/per head per month, he loses £3 per head per year. On a herd of 50 cows this means a loss £l5OO in ten years. Say 5/- per head per month, and it doesn’t sound very much, but say £ 1 500 in ten years and it sounds terrific. Now, there is one certain way in which to make a loss of 5/- on a cow per month, and that is to neglect to drench heraf ter calving. After a cow has come through the strain of calving she needs to be cleansed internally. She needs toning up. Her system needs strengthening so that she will not fall a prey to Milk Fever, Mammitis, Contagious Abortion, etc. There is a simple way of putting her in first-class fettle for a season’s work, and that is by giving her a SYKES’S DRENCH. This Drench has been a favourite with Dairymen in New Zealand and Australia for 20 years. It does its work effectively. It ensures a proper cleansing, acts as a blood purifier and tonic and does not impoverish the system by purging. Used regularly by such famous breeders as Mr. W. P. Brisbane. It costs 1/6 to drench two cows; sold in packets at 1/6 or 17/- by the dozen. All Chemists and Stores. «
