APPLY- - H. MATSON and 00. The undermentioned article feel suro will be nun h appreciated by Sheepuwners lhr<ni<hmit the country. " L'ntil comparatively recent times, it has b«en customary to judge the feeding value of the Various fodder*, including (trass, from ■ consideration of their content of protein, Abre, fat. and carbohydrate *. Experience hat shown, however, that in certain cases these conventional estimations of nutritive value have not given an accurate indication at tha real value of certain fodder* and grass pastures for fattening stock, for milk production or for the breeding of atock. Middleton and other worker* in Knit laud have pointed out that tha beef-producinft capacity of the best pasture* may be as much an 40 lima* (mater than the poorest. A determination of their nutritive values by conventional methods ha* given no indication at the grest difference between the fattening qualities of thi pastures concerned. Mora recently worker* at tha Rowett Inalitute, Aberdeen, Scotland, and «l«o at other places, have shown that the mineral content of rations fed to stock is of great importance in any consideration of their value for fattening atock or for milk production- They h.ive al*o shown that there i* a great difference in the mineral content of pasture* which are considered good or poor respectively by stockmen. They have •Icmoi- .trate.l that a number of poor pasture* in Scotland, IB the Falkland Islands, and In other places, where high mortality nr malnutrition of stock occur, have an extremely low content of certain mineral salts. It has been demonstrated that mineral salts containing lime and phosphate, as well as compound* of iodine, sulphur, chlorine, and iron, play *n important part in the maintenance of health of stock and in the utilisation of fodder* by the animal.

DO NOT FT"T IT OFF UNTIL TOMORROW. OKT YOUR LIXIT TO-DAY. In Scotland It has been shown that deficiencies of lime and phosphate in the grass are directly responsible fot the low returns received by farmers from Hheep and cattle hi certain localities. In Kenya Colony a deficiency of Iron in the natural pastures of that rountrv has been associated with sickness in cattle and poor returns received from stock. In New Zealand it is well known that certain areas are associated with deficiencies of both lime and phosphate. The "Dairyman," a farmers' paper in the Dominion, states that more recently Mr B. C. Aaton, Government Chemist, ha* shown that the so-called bush disease sickness of ruminants In t.h« Kotorua district is due to a deficiency "f iron in the grasses of that locality. Ha ha* demonstrated that this sickness can be controlled by the introduction of suitable iron salts into the fodder of the stock. This has been achieved both by topdressing the pasture* with Iron salts and by giving iron compounds direct to the animals.

IMMATURE TAILEND OF CULLS, OET LIXIT FROM H. MATSON and CO. Several c»a«# have already been brought to the notice of the officers of the Cawthron Institute in New Zealand in which mortality nf «toek i* almoet certainly associated with low mineral content of the pastures. Tha institute advise* faimere that the evil efecta of mineral deAoienciea in |twi paaturea may be oveteoane by : (1) The top-dressing of pastures with itif mineral deficiencies in the graaeea. ibe pasture. On pastures accessible to road* and railways top-dressing will usually be found the moat suitable method of overcoming mineral deficiencies in the grasses. .3) The provision of "licks" and mineral salt* containing those ingredients which are deficient in the pastures. Such "licks" and mineral salts would be fed direct to stock, supplementing the supply in the grass pasiiiree. In other countries tha use of such ' lick*'' has r«uHoH 10 great improvement ia the health of stock, quality of wool, and lambing rsturna. Tbe provision ol "licks" .md mineral salts is recommended by the oSesn of ths institute for use on hill pastures where top-dressing treatment becomes .impracticable. I START IN WITH LIXTT TO-DAT.
