The.value of Molasses as fodder for HORSES, CATTLE, SHEEP, and PIGS has long been recognised in EUROPE, AMERICA, and AUSTRALIA, while the use of. it in NEW ZEALAND, though less general, is rapidly increasing. Not only can stock be kept alive by it in time of drought, but even when other food is abundant it 17111 pay to use it. It serves as a condiment to food that is dry and unpalatable, acts as a substitute for more expensive articles of diet, and tends to 'regulate the bowels, so preventing constipation and maintaining good health. For dairy cows it is specially valuable, increasing the yield o£ milk and improving its quality. This result, which was obtained in Denmark and Sweden, has been confirmed in trials at the Hawkesbury AgricuU tural College in New South Wales. Instructions.— Begin with lib o( Molasses per day, gradually increasing the amount as the liking for it is acquired. Horses and cows become fond of it, and should be given 51b to 61b per day mixed with straw, chaff, or whatever other food is available^ PRICE ON APPLICATION. Seed Merchants, DUNEDIN.
