This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating.tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident to farm stock. By its use the ftrmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half ah acre of. ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Yermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its'use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simple and plain diroo'ions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese, is sought after greedily by those vermin while the household pets such as oats and dogs will not tou ih it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London the silver medal at the Intercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government official and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATE, Chemist and Druggist, Bast street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car bo obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling ; or' six packets for Five Shillings, Liberal reduction allowed tio tlie trade* Manufactory—BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 28

WOOD’S IMPROVED Harvester, With new IRON FRAME TWINE BINDER, With new BUNDLE-CARRYING ATTACHMENT, Which Phes the Sheaves Ready fob Stocking, Thus SAVJNG THE LABOR OP |ONE MAN TO THE PARMER. DISTINGUISHING FEATURES AND POINTS OF EXCELLENCES IN THE IRON FRAME BINDER. Separation of the bound from the unbound grain; delivery; the bundle; sizing the bundle. This automatic uniform sizing of the bundle has many advantages: the grain is straitened by the action of the packers as it enters the Binder ; the packer stops automatically during the actual binding of the bundle ; the sheaf is formed and com pressed without any strain upon the twine until after the knot is tied.
