[ADVERTISEMENT.]—Notice.—In consequence of Messrs.
Lawes and Morton having just commenced 1860 with opposi-
tion similar to that which they previously advanced, and wish-
ing to do those gentlemen every justice, Mr. Thorley is induced
to enlarge his coming pamphlet, making it 64 pages instead
of 32-- showing beyond doubt that their observations on the
so-called " Concentrated Cattle Food," and so-called "feeding
statistics," are without foundation ; that the Kothamsted
experiment was not made with his food, and consequently
that this complete failure must either be through mismanage-
ment or from buying the Condiment at the wrong shop. The
first impression of One Hundred Thousand Copies will be
ready about the first day of March, and may be had post free
on receipt of Three Stamps, on application to Joseph Thorley,
the Inventor and sole Proprietor of " Thorley's Food for
Cattle," 77, Newgate-street, London ; 21, Broadway, New
York, United States; Mr. J. W. Thorley, Melbourne; Vic-
toria ; Mr. Alfred Burt, Sydney, New South Wales ; and of
