[ADVERTISEMENT.]—ThorIey's Food for Cattle is now
beginning to seriously attract the attention of the farmer,
breeder, and feeder of stock. Two years of unremitting
care and attention have enabled its inventor to take hig>u
ground as a benefactor to these interests ; and notwithstand-
ing the many drawbacks, the malevolent shafts hurled!:
against it and its probable utility, the food, from its admitted
value, will become a necessity to the agricultural interest
Experience has proved, first, that it effects a considembi
saving in the consumption of provender ; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to r its
influence and lastly, increases in a remarkable degree, an
early development of fat. Mr. Thorley, originating this
singularly efficacious food, aimed at a compound mica ated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expel isive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. ir L this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very ofLtural
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make ' it ap-
plicable to every description of domestic animal, Tht. , Eng.,
lish farmer was slow to encourage its use, and manifei ;tad an
unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he pot messed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the empl: iyment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this 1 ;ood has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility / ►s a cheap
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasm Rich as in
all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely : iubmitted
to in the usual food of animals ; and that the prothi co will b.
realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds o f the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore y becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair a pplication
of Thorley' s Compounded Food. It is believed that t he present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its ,ry gene-
ral use, in preference to any other of the usual s rticles of
food it is, however, much questioned whether o 'heat is a
nourishing and proper food for the working horse. , certainly
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's For ,d, besides
posses`sing the advantage of greatly invigorating the health
and increasing the physical power of all anima s, is a tonic
and gentle stimulant, and when mixed with their other
food, materially assists their digestive powr;s- -a matter of
great consequence,
nourishment contained in their ordinary focal. is lost, conse-
quent
since it is an doubtf,,d f act that the
or defective TLCtion ) f the digestive
upon the imp
organs ; it will also
aibr:dfound to be particularly beneficial
good working condition hors as m hich have
or become weak from o isea,,e, or ar.
bineerenstoovrienrswtoorked,
naturally of a feeble constitution. In cows . affects are
undoubted, indeed almost marvellous, nearly dot Lbling the
yield of milk and butter, whilst it at the san Le tim s enriches
the quality of both. In pigs its fattening q ualiti RS are still
more remarkable, displaying in a few wee Aix ii s manifest
superiority over every other kind of comp ou 7A d or manu-
factured food adopted in the feeding of Indy ,e Such has
been its marked success, that at all our great i cattle shows,
Royalty, noblemen, and others who have k id their cattle
on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried of f the principal
prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded.
The patronage of Royalty, of our principa' I nobility, the
clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove •
great incitement to this gentleman to pun
sue his onward
course ; and he may confidently rely, in producing so
highly-favoured a compound, on a contiui Wien of suchhigh s ad. distinguished patronage.,
