[Published by Arrangement.] FARMERS! Palmer’s Way Makes It Pay. What aro the advantages which accrue to those who adopt Palmer’s way of cattle feeding? The question is best answered by the exhibit which Mr Palmer has placed in a very prominent position at the Showgrounds. Farmers, you must seo it for it demonstrates clearly that Palmer’s way or the self-feeding method of feeding is best for the farmer, and of a certainty the surest way to big profits besides making farming a pleasure and not a drudgery. See the happy ideal conditions under which pigs can bo reared and brought more rapidly to profit. Tho hopper feeder, the housing quarters, all are there, and all who have seen them, wonder why they have been content to drudge along, when their labour could so easily bo minimised and the life of their stock made so pleasant. Palmer’s say the self-feeding system is tho big winner of to-day if —and this is the point—you use the rightly balanced ration. This is where Sucrosine comes in lor discussion. Sucrosine as sold by Palmer’s, is a food specially prepared on recommendations based on proven results. Last season 700 tons were supplied to buyers and everywhere it is- proving its worth. Now, Mr Farmer, in conclusion, n sure you see the exhibit, then become a convert ot the now system using Sucrosine and other Palmer’s foods to help you forward to prosperity. It can lie done, rs being done, why not you ? WAKEFIELD CASTROL MOTOR OIL. Is available at all high class garages. Consult the “Castrol” chart for tho correct grade to use in your car.
