THE PROGRESS OF MANUFACTURE. 



ERIT tells— such is the simple explanation 

 \ jf the above. This fact was fully borne out 

 to the occasion of a recent visit the writer 

 id he pleasure and privilege of making 

 , i! splendidly equipped and comparatively 

 ijcly erected factory of the Molassine Co., 

 id. at Tunnel Avenue, East Greenwich, 

 irs the imposing" suite of offices, replete 

 itl ;very convenience, and their own tele- 

 noi exchange for securing rapid inter- 

 im e of communication between every de- 

 S snt, strikes one as being the home of 

 E and well-organised business. The 

 u-.\ leads of departments, with each their 

 ■, tive staff of clerks, show thorough 

 icy, and a single item will convey 

 dea of the magnitude of this progres- 

 w Company's operations — one month's 

 -.i ery bill amounting to no less than 

 The erection of the building cost 

 ; >o, and doubtless expansion will follow 

 t ever-growing needs. There are four 

 I vast storage tanks, the capacity of 

 v one being over 4,000 tons, and the 

 (di n of a further tank is under con- 

 in- ion. 



Molassine Meal is the Feed for Stock 

 si :ingly evidenced by the fact that the 

 m ave supplied it regularly for years 

 on behalf of the Shire Stud 

 Majesty the King. It is sup- 

 in' in large quantities to the best 

 in the country; an order from one 

 m one being for 20,000 sacks. Such 

 iin$ firms of carriers as Pickfords have 

 its worth, and regularly adopted it. 

 I repeat order for 1,000 tons speaks for 

 <'!.The deliveries to September over a 

 ending period last year show a satis- 

 'or increase of 73 per cent.; and, better 

 October, 70, per cent. The secret of 

 itinued and increased demand is that 

 Meal keeps, and does not ferment 

 her sugar foods ; also improved 

 of manufacture, and the adoption of 

 1 and most up-to-date machinery and 

 The present unique season, when 

 'tils (he farmer will have to go in very 

 artificial feeding, owing to the 

 sfcomplete failure of root crops, also 

 ite season grass), affords a striking 

 of the favourable comparison of 

 s^e Meal over other feeds, in the essen- 

 Pj»1 of price. Take the following, 

 most important and practical point 

 • tock-feeder to know, i.e., the relative 

 VValue of Molassine Meal, compared 

 Meal, Linseed Meal, or Cakes. 

 1 n( wholesale price for Maize Meal 

 2*. 6rf. to £ 7 15s. per ton at the 

 "seed Meal. £i 0 5s . to £10 105., so 



that Molassine Meal at £6 per ton is c( 

 tainly the best money value on the mark 

 at the present time. The deficiency of roc 

 makes this an important matter for tl 

 farmer, and those who have tried Molassi 

 Meal before in place of roots have been w> 

 pleased with the result, and very mai 

 farmers say they prefer it to the mang< 

 Molassine Meal has gained its popularity f 

 two reasons — 1st, when taking up cattle fro 

 grass, the ejection of parasites ; 2nd, wat 

 the droppings from an animal fed wi 

 Molassine Meal ; it is of a different charact 

 altogether, every species of food, i.e., cak 

 chaff, and meal, thoroughly digested and 3 

 discernible. These two reasons are hard 

 beat, as practical users will tell you. It 

 also a great preventative of chills and cole 

 Containing as it does such a large proporti< 

 of carbohydrates, it is essentially the food f 

 this exceptional season ; besides, it is mu 

 cheaper than other foods claiming sar 

 repute. 



A very important new departure for tl 

 well-known Company is the manufacture 

 their Greenwich Dairy Meal, which, l\ 

 Greenwich time, is "Always Right," a: 

 gives "An Increase of Milk Very Rich 

 Cream." 



A recent test of Mr. J. H. Row, of Ml 

 bury, Axminster, gave the following excelle 

 results, and conclusively proved the value 

 Greenwich Dairy Meal : — 



" Commenced test the middle of June." 



"Gave 8 cows 4 lb. per day each.'" 



N.B. — Ten cows of the same herd, th 

 were as near alike in every respect as ti 

 eight cows, received no Meal. 



"The eight cows increased thirty pin 

 daily, viz., i6| pints morning and 13^ pin 

 at night." 



"The cream of those receiving the 4 1 

 'Greenwich Dairy Meal' averaged 11*5 p 

 cent." 



"Those receiving no Meal io'o per cent.' 



"July 17th, gave four other cows 4 1 

 Meal per day each." 



N.B. —These were taken from among tl 

 ten cows named above. 



"The total increase for the four cows w; 

 10 pints daily." 



N.B. — By this date the pastures we 

 " burnt dry." 



"The cream from these four cows regi 

 tered n'75 per cent." 



"The cream from the cows receiving > 

 Meal registered 10*0 per cent." 



" Four other cows similar in every respe 

 were put upon 2 lb. Soya Bean Cake ar 

 2 lb. Cotton Cake."
