' Although new to New Zealand, these Necklets have boen used for the last five yearß with the roost Wonderful Success In England, on the Continent, and m the United States, and are now constantly prescribed by the most; eminent physicians m their dally practice. It la needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nlghta passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been Bared by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period ! of dentitloo, by Its nerve giving force It wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thuß relieving ohlldhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, bis solo agents In New Zoalnnd for the sale of thoee Necklets, from whom only thoy can be obtained. The price has been placed at th 6 very lowest poaslble point, point, barely covering the cob! of importation, and 1b 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, aud will be Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.

No Farmer valuiDg Clean deed can aft. lo po without a EACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmer^ have pronounced it tbt> Best-lead TESTIMONIALa below. Wbile it has capacity to Clean from GO to 90 bushels per hour. No. 1 FARM MILL la 2ft Bin over all, and is f nrniphed with Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Ecicen and Gia with side spont, ene Br.rley Eir-ve, nnd oie Sieve. Sieves for other purpcEes fcrtis and charged for as extrce. F. FERRIMAN; FFERRIMAH would call yonr attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all the advartagts of the various Mills now m use, and al6o the follow- ing impoitaut and greatly needed Improve- ments : — Fihst.— ln the width of the Mill, it being widev tbah most Farm Miilß of similar me, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Becond — The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, tbu preventing constant breakage. Thied. — In the matter? f fastening the drum ha head to the posts fej means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held by wooden keys), adding increased strength and durability to the Mill. Fourth. — Tho great advantage of raising or lowering the slide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons aie of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* Bide of the mill, out of the way. The bearing iB forued by the hub of the large wheel run- ning m a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poats, giving it a Bteady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact 6uperior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are so ar- ranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all fcul stuff and light j grain over the hurdle. The side spout delivers the No 1 train at the side, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be bo adjusted as to separate and deliver through the Bide spout a greater or less portion of the best gmin. Tlw wheat screens and grader are bo arranged as to effectually take out cickle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer Bhould bn without one ob they are inraluable to nil who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made tor impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and cost of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and com- plete work which enn be accomplished with them, Foon repay the cost Incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raising large quantities of Grain, or Eec c, we would recommend the No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the greatsaving of time will compensate for the difference m the fiist cost. Thoy can be ran by hand as easily aa a Farm Size, although cosjstjrjicted much heavier, and made more durable.

I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oaty ; wbeot ; he was highly pleased with tho job they made. — William Blaf c, Hillfort Waiwera. NEVER BAW ITS EQdAL. 1 have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and £raßß seed.

I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN CAaB SSIiS W PftSSf A BEXT3R CHARACTER. I have given the " Racine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every Ba'ißiac- ton. I consider it * first-rate article. It c^-ans and grades grain rapidly and well, ia strong, works smoothly, and will, 1 think, prove durable. It is much Pcperior to any otbei machine pf the kind I have ever seen.— F. W. Mackenzie (the C*pt<un), PorEahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIIND I HAVE EVE&J3BEIJ. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip eeed. I can confidently say that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it is a long way tho best machine of the kind I have ever seen. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner any kind seeds.— Wjlliam Littlejohit, Waiwera WOULD LJJCB TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE BHOULD.
