m somr to to StfCCBSS % &om ee about the best method of blood less castration for lambs! The Scottish Journal of Agriculture published details of an experiment with two methods of castrating lambs—the knife and the bloodless castrator. The experiment was carried out at Duthie Experimental Stock Farm, Rowett Institute. Ten pairs of twin half-bred male lambs were taken from a flock of Cheviot ewes. One twin was castrated with the castrators, the other with the knife. The live weight gain between castration and weaning was recorded for each lamb. In every case, the bloodlessly castrated iamb made more rapid gains, the average increase being 59 lb. as against an average of 53 lb. for those cut with a knife: an advantage of 6 lb. per head. It justifiably can be claimed that the DAROUX has put thousands of pounds into farmers’ bank accounts, through its efficiency in hastening the maturing of castrated ram lambs for the Works and reducing the number of deaths among them. AGENTS WRIGHT STEPHENSON & CO. LTD. ALL 'BRANCHES It is well known that ewe lambs generally comprise the bulk of the first draft of fats off the mother. When castrated by the bloodless method, the recovery of ram lambs is expedited and they fatten as quickly as ewe.lambs. English Experts at Smithfieid award First Prize for Lambs castrated with the DAROUX EMASCULATOR. In competition for the best individual pen of three lambs for export, held at the Royal Show, Auckland, the First Prize was awarded to Mr. S. A. Rhodes, of H & S Rhodes, Paterangi, Waikato. The exhibits were afterwards shipped to England, and their condition on the Smithfieid Market was judged by English experts and they were again awarded First Prize. These Lambs were castrated with a Daroux Emasculator. QUICK HUMANE SURE - The judges at Smithfieid have just condemned and issued a warning against some methods of bloodless castration as being unsuitable for rambs for the United Kingdom market. This information is available from the N.Z. Meat Board and A. & P. Societies. USE THE APPROVED METHOD USE A DAROUX.
