FEEDING PROBLEMS

No section of the community is more anxious to give practical assistance in the cause of increased production than is the small farmer, and one of the directions in which he may assist the Empire’s war efforts is by rearing more pigs and calves. In the past, however, feeding problems during the winter and early spring months were not easily overcome, but today we have “Milkiwey Paste.” “Milkiwey Paste,” a product of Dairy Products, Ltd., Edindale, Southland, and which is distributed by Wright Stephenson and Co., Ltd., all

blanches, and Abraham and Williams, Ltd., all branches, is claimed to be the only real and genuine substitute for milk or whey, and may be fed with benefit not only to pigs and calves, but to horses, cows and poultry as well. It is a concentrated natural food, one pound of which is equal to a gallon of pure milk. It is, in fact, an extract of pure milk, and contains no artificial ingredients, and it is claimed has proved as beneficial to young stock as whole milk. It is easy to mix and feed, and will keep indefinitely without deterioration, and comes in 561 b. tins and scwt. drums. The manufacturers emphasize that it is not economical to use whey paste when an ample supply of whey or skim-milk is available unless required to push on or top off weaners, or put a polish on young pigs. FARM BUILDINGS Farmers! You now have the opportunity to act with regard to the many buildings that are required on your farms, to assist in production. Proper and carefully-made structures around your farm will assist the national effort by maintaining quality and avoiding replacements. If you need Men's Whares, Workman’s Dwellings, Married Folk’s Homes, Wool Sheds, Pig Styes, Milking Sheds, Rural Housing, etc., or, indeed, anything at all in Building Repairs, you cannot do better than consult H. E. Townshend Ltd., Palmerston North, at once. This firm of builders has just recently acquired a large plot of land adjoining their Terrace End timberyards at Palmerston North, upon which a factory will shortly be erected for the purpose of building farmers’ lines. By this means all work will be delivered to you, ready built. This will materially reduce costs and the farmer will gain correspondingly. The firm of 11. E. Townshend Ltd. is well known throughout the Manawatu district, have carried on the building business for over 20 years. The policy from the commencement has been to turn out the best of work, at the most reasonable rates. That policy is still being maintained, and farmers can rest assured that in trading with this firm they will certainly receive a square deal and good workmanship.—ll. E.
