[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 high
grodnd 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 considerable
saving in the consumption of provender; secondly, that it
produces health and vigour in all animals subjected to 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 calculated
to supersede, to a certain extent, the tedious and expensive
mode then prevailing of fattening stall-fed beasts. In this
he happily succeeded ; and success prompted a very natural
desire to improve upon the invention, so as to make it ap-
plicable to every•description of domestic animal. The Eng-
lish fanner was slow to encourage its use, and manifested an
unwillingness to rely upon its efficacy, fancying he possessed
in the produce of his farm, ample materials whereby to feed
and fatten his cattle at a cheaper rate thanby the employment
or addition of artificial food. The tests to which this food has
been subjected have proved its perfect admissibility as a cheap
addition to the natural produce of the farm ; inasmuch as in
all cases a subtraction of one-third may be safely submitted
to in the usual food of animals ; and that the produce will be
realised, and rendered marketable in two-thirds of the time
usually consumed in developing fat ; it, therefore, becomes
apparent that a certain saving is effected by a fair application
of Thorley' s Compounded Food. It is believed that the present
unprecedented low price of wheat has induced its very gene-
ral use, in preference toany other of the usual articles
.sof
food ; it is, however, much questioned whether wheat is
nourishing and proper food for the workinghotse,_
certainly, besides
it is not for cows or pigs. Mr. Thorley's Food,

possessing the advantage of greatly invig
and increasing the physical power ofrating
animals, is a tonic the health

more
factored food adcpted in the feeding of swine. Such has
been its marked success, that at all our great cattle shows,
Royalty, noblemen, and others who have fed their cattle
on Thorley's Food, have invariably carried off the principal
prizes, whilst cards of commendation have been awarded.
The patronage of Royalty, of our principal nobility, the
clergy, and of our leading agriculturists, must prove a.
great incitement to this gentleman to pursue his onward!
course; and he may confidently rely, in producing so
highly-favoured a compound, on a continuation of anal.
high Aistinguished patronage.
