UNITED' FIRE AND MARINE INSURANCE COMPANY. With Unlimited Liability of a large COLONIAL PROPRIETARY. •iFire and Marine Insurances effected at lowest tariff rates —less 25 per cent. ALBERT ROBERTS, Agent, 1391 West street, Ashburton. P. Ferriman. F. Ferriman Has for sale harrows BY H.AXTON & BEATTIE, Patentees and Sole Makers of the Celebrated SPRING TOOTH FLEXIBLE HARROWS. They combine Lightness of Draught, Practicability, and Cheapness, and meet the approval of all who have examined them. Over 500 at work in New Zealand since 1880. This Patent Harrow has been awarded First Prize at the recent Exhibition held in Christchurch New Zealand, May, 1882, and the following prizes were also gained after competitions, trials, and testings: Ist Prize Medal at Taieri Agricultural Show, 1880 Ist Prize at the Mataura Show, Gore, 1880 Ist Prize at the Invercargill Show, 1880 _ Ist Awari of Merit, Ashburton Exhibi tion, March, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Napier Show, 1881 Ist Prize Medal, Invercargill Exhibition, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Launceston, Tasmania, 1882 Ist Prize for Light and Heavy, Dunedin,, 1872 Ist Prize, Gore, 1882 Ist Prize Medal, Taieri Show, November, 1881 Ist Prize, Patea Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Riverton Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Oamaru Show, December, 1881 Ist Award of Merit, Dunedin Exhibition, 1881 Ist Prize, Dunedin Show, December, 1881 Ist Prize, Christchurch Exhibition, May, 1882 Ist Prize, Invercargill, December, 1882 Ist Prize Southbridge, 1882 FIRST PRIZE, ASHBURTON, 1882.



The Principal Advantages of this Harrow aeb as Follows: It is 25 per cent. Cheaper than any other. Because of its simplicity, it is more durable. The flexible and spring-tooth working of the Harrows produce a steady strain, which prevents horsqs from having sore shoulders. A twelve-foot Harrow can be taken to pieces and put together again by any boy in five minutes’ time. Every tooth being a component part of the Harrow, the extra labor and expense of tools, bolts, nuts, threads, shoulder pieces, framework, etc., is entirely done away with. Each tooth acts independently of the others, and will do its work thoroughly over level, rough, knolly, or unevenly ploughed ground. It is the only Harrow in the world that can be taken to pieces in ten minutes, and securely packed in a bag ready for ship ment, or that can be taken to a black smith’s and sharpened, at half the cost of any other. It is the only Harrow in the world that will do its work thorough and well in harrowing crosswise over new ploughed ground, without turning over the turf. Because of the flexible and spring tooth movement of the Harrow it is im possible for any of its teeth catching against roots or rocks, thereby making it much easier for the team that is drawing it. It is a perfect t hain or Seed Harrow, when turned on its back, acting an inch or inch and a-half in the soil, leaving a JOIITH BRITISH AND MERCAN TILE INSURANCE COMPANY.
