viouslv I fed them on milk, me.il and water—they suffered badly from dry coats, blood scours, ajid were not thriving. I then tried ‘Faterine,’ added to this preparation, and I soon found the calves’ coats improved, immediately taking on a good healthy appearance. They continued to thrive throughout the winter and r.re now in a fine healthy condition. In my experience I would strongly recommend all dairymen to use Faterine’ for rearing calves.” V. W. NOWiELL. SIX MONTHS’ OLD CALVES SOLD AT £6 PER HEAD. Beach Road, Hawera. ‘’Kindly send me three more tins of ‘Faterine’ immediately. 1 may say T 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 wa« 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 -•’ondition. I have prove of that in the sale of them, when my calves (six months old Isold this week at £6 per head, realising rhe 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. FEEDING PIGS ON “FATERINE” ALSO BRINGS ASTONISHING RESULTS. Hawera, June 15, 1921. “I tried out the ’Faterine I purchased from you last March for pigs, and 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: —1021 b, 83 lb, 821 b, 761 b. 721 b and 721 b; total, 4871 b, or an average weight of 81 l/6lb. The other five. 571 b, 561 b, 421 b, 421 b and 381 b; total, 2351 b, or an average weight of 471 b. showing a difference in favor of those fed on ‘Faterine’ of 24J!b 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 tho»e fed on cereals and root crops. These results with ‘Faterine’ have been an eve-opener to me.” A. J. HASELTINE. SAVED ONE CALF AND GETTING GOOD RESULTS FROM PIGS. South Road, Hawera. July 16, 1921. ‘T have used ‘Faterine’ on pigs for the last few months, and am entirely pleased with the results. Hitherto I have used cereals and whey, and I find I am getting far better results with ‘Faterine’ and whey and can top the pigs off very much quicker. Their coats and general condition showed a marked improvement a very short time after starting with ‘Faterine.’ The pigs rush the food, and using of it is so simple, and such
