It Is needleßß to comment on the anxious and Bleepless nights passed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of tho teething of Infants. Every day brings to an untimely grave hundreds of infanta whose lives might have been saved by the use of the simple Necklet. In addition to the relict from pain afforded by the Necklet during the period of dentition, by Ub nerve-givrrg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Oough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken Pox, thuß relieving childhood of its martyrdom, and gladdening the heart of every mother who Invokes its aid, Dr Kurateiner has appointed Messrs CONROD & CO., Auckland, his sole agents m New Zealand for the Bale of these Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained. The price has been placed at tho very lowest poßßlble 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 Bent free on receipt of One Pound, by poßta note, money order, or registered letter.

The two Dips used together make a perfect Dip, and keep any ordinary flook of sheep clean the whole season. They combine highly nutritious tnd stimulating properties, as well as lasting qualities. They are certain killers of Ticks, their eggs ; Lice, their ova ; and all parasites infesting the Bklna of Sheep. For very loußy and filthy longwool flocks, the LINCOLN DIP ALONE is recom- mended, being the most lasting m its effects. Testimonials prove that m every instance sheep dipped m the mixture have oome m a ahearlng with perfectly clean healthy skins, entirely free from vermin »nd parasites, and the wool peculiarly soft and beautifully glossy.

EACINE FAN FABM MILL. THE TESTED FARM MILL.^ The Cheapest oud Beßt Fan Mill m the Marketl No Farmer valuing Clean Seed can afford 'to go without a RACINE FAN MILL. Practical Farmerß have pronounced it the Best— read TESTIMONIAL below. While it has capacity to Olean rom 60 to 90 bushelß per hour. No. 1 FARM ILL Is 2ft 8m over all, and is f nrnished with one Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen and Grader with side epont, one Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged f cr as extras. FFERRIMAN would call your atten- • tion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combines all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and aleo the following important and greatly needed Improve- ments:— FIRST,— In the width of the Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar size, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. Second. — The improved plan of hanging the shoe upon strong strap-hinged hangers, thus preventing constant breakage. Third.— ln the matter of fastening the drum or head to the postß by means of a cast- iron half circle, and secured to the poste by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts and held >. ■* wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv: ability to the Mill. Fourth. — The great au 'antage of easily raising or lowering the slide C «he Hepper.by means of a screw; The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wbeeJ , pinion, and Bhake irons being extra strong. The gearing iB all placed on the inside of the Mill, out of the way. The bearing is formed by the hub of tho large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches lone, of Chilled Iron, and extending through the posts, giving it a steady and easy motion. For cleaning and separating all kinds of grain, we guarantee this Mill to be equal to, and m fact superior, m all respects, to ony now m use. The fan viiVi wind boardß are so arranged that the wind strikes the hurdle m such a manner as to blow all foul stuff and light grain over the hurdle. The Bide Bpout delivers the No 1 grain at thpside, and the No 2 grain at the front of the Mill. The grader can be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or leBS portion of the best grain. The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to effectually take out cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should be without one aB they are invaluable to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thuß save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities and foul stuff, and also the extra freight charges and ccsc of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and complete work which con be accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmeis raising largo quantities of Grain, or Becdß, we would recommend the No 2 Warehouse Mill, as specially adapted for their use, as the great saving of time wll l compensate for the difference m tho first cost. They con be win by hand as easily as a Farm ci B o,«itiiou{;u conavruuiea uiuvu Heavier, ana made more durable; Be glided by the experience of others and order a "Racino Mill." You don't want a better record than it has. Read. MA.DE A SPLENDID JOB. I put Eome bags of wheat through last BpriDg , they made a splendid job. A neigh- bour borrowed mine to run through some oaty wheat : he was highly pleased with the job they made. — William Blakib, Hillfoot, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL; I have only used the " Racine " Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed. It has given me great satisfaction. I have never seen its equal for gradiDg wheat for seed, and I have seen and helped to work a pood many. — William Brook, Church Hill, Waiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it, — JOHN Cameron, Swift Creek, Kelso. COULD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER. I have given the *' Racine " Warehousa Fan Mill a good trial, and it gives every satisfac- tion. I consider it a fhst-r ate article. It cleans and grades grain rapidly and well, is strong, works smoothly, and will,! think, prove durable. It is much superior to ony other machine of the kind I have ever eeeu,— F, W Mackenzie; (the Captain). Pomahnka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip Beed. I can confidently say 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 of Beedb.— William Littlhjohn, Waiwera. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently iecom mend the "Racine" Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility, I would not by any means like to want one now, and I think no farme: shonld.— David Mackenzie, Waiwera.
