Consultation. gPORUNG NEWS. £4,000 320 CASH PRIZES. SEVENTH GRAND HAMBURG DRAWING IS NOW OPEN. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. The six previous drawings were filled, and applications that came too late will be registered in the seventh drawing. The seventh grand drawing for L 4.000 will close the end of February, and the eighth Hamburg drawing will open on the Ist March, This seventh grand drawing will consist of 320 money prizes, amounting to L 4,000 subscribed by 8,000 members at 10s each. The various Money Prizes will be dis tributed as follows: — 1 £3OO prize; 1 £2OO prize; 1 £IOO prize; 2 £SO prizes; 10 £3O prizes; 15 £25 prizes; 16 £2O prizes; 15 £l6 prizes ; 160 £lO prizes; 100 £6 prizes. Total amount, £4,000: 320 money prizes. To a purchaser of 25 programmes one will be given gratis. The grand principle of these Hamburg Drawings is that a purchaser of 25 pro grames is guaranteed a prize, a*d the chances are in favor of the investor draw-1 ing a large prize, as there are 220 large prizes to 100 small ones. To any inves tor of £2 the chances are only 6 to 1 against him drawing a prize, and the head prize or any other may be drawn by any investor of 10s. Read this carefully.—ln Boaz’s Grand Hamburg Drawings the greatest odds are only 25 to 1 against an investor of 10s drawing a prize. But carefully note the enormous odds against investors drawing a horse or cash prize in any of the horse consultations. The marbles are replaced for each drawing of the cash prizes, which gives the enormous odds against investors. This Company would simply ask investors to calculate the odds before placing their investments in any horse consultations; and this Com pany would not presume to tell the public that they have a number of chances and can win a number of prizes for a single in vestment of 10s. Note. —Prize winners whether winning large or small prizes are informed that iheir names will not be made public with jut their written consent. This course will be pursued in consequence of the company having received many letters at various times from prize winners, particu arly requesting the company not on any recount to make their names public. This 7th grand drawing for £4,000 will :ake place under the supetvision of a ccm nittee of eight gentlemen, and the prizes ■ will be paid over as early as possible after ;he drawing.

George Jameson. AGENT, ASHBURTON. 24 HE WONDER OP THE WORLD. Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradictating 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 farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |d per head per annum. In al large Sheep Districts In Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purp, of the Horticulturist; and it Is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n 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 an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin 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 simpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be used in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mica. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those venal/' while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and si; therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia 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, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation can be obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings. Liberal reduction allowed to the trade. Manufactory—BEAUMONT SQUARE, MILE END ROAD, LONDON. 8 28



EMISSION FREE.—There are several subjects agitating just now the public mind, and need not be enumerated: These all, however, retire before the all engrossing ques tion, Where can we procure good tea? Many fortunate persons have set this question at rest by purchasing the favorite blends of Nelson, Moate and Co.; but many have not done so, and, consequently, their minds are still un settled, and a feeling of unrest prevai's. The remedy is easy and certain. Give me a call. Admission r ree !

Greendale, January 2,1885. Mr E. Reece. Dear Sir,—l am pleased to be able to inform you that since purchasing my Champion Cord Binder I have cut and tied 30 acres of grass seed, much tangled with clover and trefoil, and the machine did its wo~k well. The relief rake and new butter are great improvements, and are indispensable for all kinds of crops. I find the machine very light draft and easily handled, well built and strong, and I think you ought to do well with the Champion.—Yours truly, 6. Bidden. Burnside, January 3, 1885. Mr E. Eeeoe Dear Sir, —In reply to your enquiry as to my opinion of the new Champion Cord Binder, tried on my farm daring last harvest, 1 may say it was worked for days together in the heaviest and in all kinds of crops—viz., wheat, oats and barley—and in every case gave entire satisfaction. It is a very clean cutting machine, and leaves a clear stubble. The binding is equally good and reliable. It is a very strong machine, simple in construction, easily managed, and thoroughly practi cable. To anyone requiring a machine, 1 consider it quite equal to any in the mar ket, and in some ponita superior. Yours truly, W. Boag. We, the undersigned farmers, having been present at the Exhibition of the Champion 7ord Binder as made at Mr Cherry’s Farm, Eyreton, hereby express our complete satisfaction with the efficient, way the grain waa handled. The numer ous improvements in the machine are moal invaluable, and contributed materi ally to the success of the trial. —(Signed) F.
