molasses-fodder A' 1675; palm-kernel-cocoanut-molasses-fodder A' 16'95; from June 1^* 1912 to 

 December 31^' 1912: Palm-kernel-draff-molasses-fodder A' 15-90, palm-kernel-molasses-fodder

From January 1st 1913, we reduced the prices once more, viz: palm-kernel-draff-molasses- 

 fodder A 15-20, palm-kernel-cocoanut-molasses-fodder K 15-80. From this price-table we can distinctly 

 see, that the fodder mill of the I. R. Agricultural Society of Vienna works with a minimal profit and 

 endeavours to deliver to the farmers a cheap and highly nutritive fodder. 



The saling-office of the fodder mill of the I. R. Agricultural Society of Vienna sells also the 

 various sorts of linseedcake and first class light, ungreased fishmeal, the latter being specially adapted 

 for rearing and fattening pigs and for purposes of fishculture.

 us their printed matters, which are classified alphabetically according to the firms. 



h) Putting on a cartotheque, which comprehends the contents of the catalogues received in 

 groups in order to fix immediately for each kind of machine the manufacturer at home and abroad.

 matters and of the machine-sale-office" edited by the general secretary Professor J. Hausler and
