While it bos capacity to Clean from 60 to 90 bushels per hoar. No. 1 FARM MILL Is 2ft Bin over all, and is furnished with Wheat Hnrdle, one Wheat Screen anG- with Bide spout, one Barley Sieve, anona Sieve. Sieves for other purposes urni and charged for as extras. F. FBBRIMAN. F FERRIMAN would call your attention « to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill which combines all tbe advantages of the various Mills now m nse, and also the follow* tog important and greatly needed Improve- ments :— First.— ln the width of the Mill, it being wider than moßt Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Bbcohd.— The improved plan of hanging th shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thn preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the matter?! fastening the dram ha head to* the posts kj means of a castiron lorf circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into poets , and held by wooden keys), adding increased Btrength and durability to the Mill. Fourth.-— The great advantage .of raising or lowering the Blide m the Hopper means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being strong. The gearing is all placed on the in* side of the mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of the large wheel run- ningin a thimble or box, three inches long, of Chilled Iron and extending through the poets, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee thie Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. The fan with wind boards are bo ar* | ranged that the wind ttrikes the hurdle m such a manner aa to blow all foul stnff and light 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 he so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the aide spout a greater or less portion of the best grain; The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take ont cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheati No Farmer or Dealer should be without one as they are inraluable to all 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 can be accomplished with them, soon repay the coat incurred m their purchase. To Fanners raising large quantities of Grain, or Bee ;s, we would recommend tho No 2 Ware- house Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time will compensate for the difference m the fitßt cost. They can be run by hand as easilj aa a Farm Size, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable. Be guided by experience of others and order a "Bacine Mill." Ton don't want a better record than it has. Bead. MADE A SPLENDID JOB. I put some bags of wheat through last spring, they made a splendid job. A neighbor borrowed mine to run through some oat? wheat ; be was highly pleased with tbe job they made. —Wileiam Blav c, Hillfort Waiwera. . „ NEVER SAW ITS EQjAL. I have only used the " Bacine " Mill, aa yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never Been its equal for grading wheat for Beed, and I have seen and helped ye work a good many. —William Brook, Church Hill. Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Eelso. COTJLD NOT HAVE A BETTER OHARAOTER. I have given the *' Bacine " Warehouse Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every sa'istac- t od. I consider it » first-rate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prov« durable. It is much Bvperior to any other machine of the kind I have overseen. — F. W. Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomahaka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oata, and turnip seed. I can confidently Bay that it is all that it claims to be. In fact, it ia a long way the 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.— William Littlejohk, Waiwera WOULD ISOT LIKE TO WANT ONE KOW— NO QNE SHOULD, lean confidently recommend the " Racine . . Fanners te' do their work well, and wltV extreme f acility. I would not by any means like to °.yant one now, and I think no farmer I should.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.

' : : Although new to New Zealand, these Neoklets have been used for the lest five years with tbe most Wonderful Success m England, on the Continent, and m the United StatSß, and are now constantly prescribed by the moot eminent physicians m their dally practice. It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infants. Every daybringa to an untimely grave hundreds of infants whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Neoklet. In addition to the relief from pain afforded by the Necklet dnring the period Of dentition, by its nerve glvl-g force It wferds off and prevents Measles.Whooping Cough, Soarlet Fever, Croup, and Chioken Pox, thns relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes Its aid, Dr Kursteiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auokland, his sole agents In New Zealand for the Gale of these Neoklets, from whom only they oan be obtained. The price has been placed at tbe very lowest possible point, point, barely covering the cost of importation, and Is within the reach of all, as one Neoklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtues as a remedial snd preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will be sent free on receipt of One Pound, by posta note, money order, or registered letter.
