THE “ SCOUR ” IN CALVES It is calculated, that fully-20,000 ealves have, in the past, died annually, in this Colony from the complaint known as “ Scours.” This represents, a loss to the farmers at "least,' £25,000. There is mb' necessity for calves to die from scaurs,if the proper remedy is used "in time.- Mr Alex. Colson, of New Plynibuth, so well and widely known in connection with the the stock'sales of MrNewton King, the well-known auctioneer says :—“ There i« no mistake-, those Scour Drenches ;made-by'Ellis, of Stratford, are a wonderful remedy. I never saw anyth'ingiike"tEem. I had some calves, the other day, lying almost dead from . scobr. T gave them one dose each, •jifstoff chance, hardly expecting them ;t(£live. Next day, those same calves 1 were strong and well, and as lively as crickets. I strongly recommend every farmer to keep them by him, for I can guarantee if he uses them in time, he will never have his ealves die from the Scours.” These Drenches may be obtained through all storekeepers, at Is 6d per packet, with full directions ; or they will be sent free by post on receipt of the amount in postal notes from the sole manufacturer, W, A.
