BACIN AN FARM MILL the tebteiTpaiim: mill. Tho Cheapest and Btet Fan Mill ia the Market* No Farmer -valuing Clean Seed can afford t po without a RACINE FAN MILL. Tractical Farmers have pronounced it th« Beet— read TESTIMONIAL below. "While ifc lob fnpacity to Cltnn icm CO t< 90 bushels per hour. ■■■ No. 1 FARM MILL Ta 2ft Bin over nil, nnd is f nrniflhed with on( Wheat Hurdle, ono Wheafr Screen and Qradei with Bide ppout, one Barley Sieve, and ono Oal Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. : F. FERRIMAN, FFERBIMAN would call your atten- • tion. to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, -which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also tho following impcrtant and greatly needed Improve- ments: — FmsT.— In tho width of the Mill, it being wider than tnoßt Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. fcEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging the Bhoa upon strong etrup-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. THinD — In the matter of fastening tho dtum or head to the posts by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posis at.d held >. -v wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv. ability to tha Mill. FoußTn.— Tha great au'antage of eaßily racing or lowering tho slide . fine Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of the moat approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and shako irons being ex bra strong. The gearing is all placed en the inside of the Mill, out of the way. ThebepriDgis formed by the hub of the large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches lons, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the posts, giving it a Bteady and oapy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we quaranlee this Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to nny now m use. TJbe fan with wind boards are so arranged that tho wind stiikea tho hurdle m euch a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over tho hurdle- The Bide spout delivers the No 1 grain at the side, and the No 2 g;ain at the front of the Mill. The grader cr.n be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the Bide spouv. a greater or lees portion of the best grain- The wheat screens and grader are po arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are invaluable to all who wish to market thei* seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made fcr impurities and fonl stuff, nnd also the extra freight chargeß and ccst of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and complete work which con he accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incutred m their purchase. To Furmets raiting large quantities of Grain, or feeds, we would recommend the No 2 Warehonße Mill, as specially adapted for their esc, as the great raving of time wll l compensate for thedifferenca m the u rat cost. They can b 9 win by hand as easily as a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable; Be glided by the experience of others and order a "Racine" Mill." You dou't want a better record than it has; Read. MA.DE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring , they mndo a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly pleased -with the job they wade. — Wii/mam Blakis, Hillfcot Wftiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL I havo only used the " Sacino " Mill, ob yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and graos seed . It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for grading wheat for eeed, and I hnve Been and helped to work a good many. — -Wilwam Buook, Church Hill, Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHS Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER • CHARACTER. I have given the •• Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac tion. I consider ifc a fhsf>rate article. It cleans ard grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, an-i will, I think, prove durable. It is much superior to cny other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomabaka. BEbT MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and tnrnip seed. I can confidently say that it iB all that it cloims to be. In fact, it ia a Jong way the best machine of the kind I have ever scon. With a larger assortment cf riddles, I believe it will dresa m a Eupcrior manner any kind of Beedb.— William LittlejuHN, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently iccom trend the ° Racine " Fanners to do their work well, ana with extiemo facility. I would not by any means like to want ono now, and I think no farme; Bhould.— Davjb Mackenzie, Waiwera.

Dr Auguste Kursteiner's ELECTRO GALVANIC TEETHING NECKLET Endorsed by the Medical Facility of Europe, And pronounced by al Leading Physicians The Greatest Discovery .of the Age IN placing the Electric Necklet before the New Zealand pnblfo the djacoverer and proprietor begs to draw Special attention to the fact that the material snrroond- ing the inner ohain of metallio Bobstancea is impregnated with a cbetnioal solution^ harmless m itself, nnd yet containing titanic po^ere, which generate a continuous light current of galvanism, and the Necklet m consequence contains ail the virtues of a miniature batter;, and is therefore not a ueeleßß article like bo many of the so-called electric appliances, which cannot possibly produce any good results, as they are incomplete m the moatr essential requirements, and cannot generate galvanism nor produce galvanic effects. TMn Nfioklot In the outcome of a lone-continued eerle9 of investigating experiments by that well-known and eminent scientist and specialist, Dr Augusta Kursteiner, who is the highest European authority on all diseases of women and children The Lancet, the leading medical journal of the world, says : — "The fact that the discovery and invention of theßO Necklets Is announced by Dr Kursteiner is a sufficient guarantee that a meanß has at last been discovered whioh will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers, ' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have been used for the laßt five years with the moot Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the moßt eminent physicians In their daily practice. It is needleos to comment on the anxious and ale'eplesa nights paused by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the Blmple Necklet. In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by its nerve-glvhg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Ohipken Pox, thus relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis sole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from ffhom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at the very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of Importation, and is within the reach of all, as one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial and preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
