, BAOINE FAN FAEM MILL it THE TESTEITfaRM MILL.' Tho Cheapest md .'Cfst FanMill[in'lhe lm Markcti No Farnior valuing Clean Beed can afford t< l " po without a S RACINE FAN MILL. Prnctical FnrmeTß htvvo pronounced )t th( Best— read TESTIMONIAL below. While it *bs enfacity to k Ch&n icm^CO tc 90 bushels per hoar, i Ho. i FARM MILL ! 1 Is 2ft Bin over nil, and ia furnished with one . Wheat Hurdle, one Wheat Screen arid Gradet with side spout, onn Barley Sieve, and one Oat Sieve. Sieves for other purposes furnished and charged for as extras. F. FERRIMAN, FFERRIMAN would call your atten- » (ion to this Improved Farm Fanning Mill, which combined all the advantages of the various Mills now m use, and also tho f ollowin g important and greatly needed Improve- ment £:— FinsT.— ln tho width o( tho Mill, it being wider than most Farm Mills of similar sizo, thereby increasing the cleaning capacity to a large extent. fcEOOND.— The improved plan of hanging the ehoa npon strong strap-hinged hangers, thua preventing constant breakago. Tninc— ln the matter. of fastening tho drnm or head to tho posts by means of a cast* iron half circle, and secured to the posts by screws (instead of wooden cleats morticed into posts ai;d held k wooden keys), adding increased strength and dv ib'Hty to the Mill. Fgtoth. — Tho great a«. 'antage of easily raising or lowering the "slide . <Ihe Hopper by means of a screw. The irons are of the most approved pattern, the wheel, pinion, and shake irons being extra strong. The gearing is all placed en the inside of tho Mill, ont of tho way. The bearing is formed by the hub of tho large wheel running m a thimble or box, three inches lone, of Chilled. lron, and extending through the posts, giving it a Bteady and oaey motion. For cleaning and neparating all kinds of grain, we qnarantco this Mill to bo equal to, nnd m fact superior, m all respects, to any now m use. Tho fan witfi wind boards are so arranged that the -wind strikes the hurdle m Fuch a manner as to blow all foul Btoff and light grain over the hurdle The side spont delivers the No 1 grain at the side,- and tho No 2 grain at tho front of the Mill. Tho grader cf.n be so adjusted as to separate and deliver through the side spout a greater or less portion of the best grain- The wheat screens and grader are so arranged as to * lEectually tako ont cockle from No 1 and No 2 wheat. No Farmer or Dealer should bo without one as they are invaluablo to all who wish to market their seed m good condition, and thus save the heavy deductions usually made for impurities nnd fonl stuff, nnd also the extra freight charges and ccsc of cleaning. They also save time, and by the thorough and complete work which, can bo accomplished with them, soon repay the cost incurred m their purchase. To Farmers raiting large quantities pf Grain, or Seeds, we would recommend tho Ko 2 Warehouse MHI, as specially adapted for their ÜBe, as the great paving of time wIH compensate for tho difforencs m tho first coßt. They con ba «ra by hand as easily as a Farm frize, although constructed much heavier, and made more durable; . Bo g aided by tho experience of others and order a ••Racine Mill ." You don't want a bettor xccord than it has. Read. M&JDE A SPLENDID JOB. . I pnt some bags cf wheat through last spring , th?y mado a ep'endid job. A neigh- bonr borrowed mino to run through some oaty wheat : ho was highly pleaapd with tho job they made. — Yfiu.i\u Blakib, Hillfoo*, Waiwera. NEVER SAW ITS EQUAL: I have only used tho " Rncxno '' Mill, as yet, for dressing oats, wheat, and grass seed . It haß given me great satisfaction. I liavo neve* eoen Us equal for grading wheat fot efcfcd, and I have seen* and helped to work a pood many. J — William BnooK, Church Hill, Wiiwera. COMPLIMENTARY. I am very much pleased with it,— JOEN , Cameron, Swift Oreek, Kolso. I CODLD NOT HAVE A BETTER CHARACTER, I have given the •« Racine" Warehouss Fan Mill a good trial, atd it gives every satisfac- tion. I oensider it a fust-rate article. It cleans ard grades- grain rapidly and well, is utrong, works smoothly, and will, I think, prove durable. It iB much superior to cny other machine of the kind I have ever seen. — F. W Mackenzie (the Captain), Pomabuka. BEST MACHINE OF THE KIND I HAVE EVER SEEN, I have tried it with wheat, oats, and turnip seed. I can confidently say that ib is all that it claims 10 be. In fact, it ia a long way the beet machine of tho kind I have ever si en. With a larger assortment of riddles, I believe it will dress m a superior manner ony kind of seedb.— William Littlfjobn, Waiwora. WOULD NOT LIKE TO WANT ONE NOW— NO ONE SHOULD. I can confidently recommend tho " Racine " Fanners to do their work well, ana with extreme facility, I would not by any mean? like to wanfciono now, and I think no fame.

Tbia Necklet U, the outcome of a long-continued series of Investigating experiments by that wellknc-wn and eminent scientist and opecialist, Dr Aaguste Kursteiner, who Is the higheßt Europesn authority on all diseases of women and children The Lanoet, the leading medical journal of the world, says :— " The fact that the discovery and Invention of theßO Nockletß is announced by Dr Kurstelner ia a sufficient guarantee that a means has at last been discovered which will save the lives of millions of children, and relieve the anxiety of many mothers, ' Although new to New Zealand, theßO Necklets have been used for the last five years with the most Wonderful Success m England, on tho Continent, and m the United States, and are vow constantly pr^ugrlbVa by the meet eminent phyßiclanu m their dally practice. It Is needless to comment on the anxious and sleepless nights pacsed by thousands of mothers during the painful period of the teething of Infanta. Every day bringß to an untimely grave hundreds of infants 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 tho period of dentition, by Its nerve-glvhg force it wards off and prevents Measles, Whooping Cough, Scarlet Fever, Croup, and Chicken 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, his Bole agents m New Zealand for the sale of theee Necklets, from whom only they can be obtained, The price baa been placed at the very loweßt poaslble point, point, barely covering tho cost of importation, and is within the reach of all, w one Necklet will last a life time. Aside from its many virtueß as a remedial md preventive agent, the Necklet 1 a handsome ornament, and will bo sent free on receipt of One Pouod, by poeta note, money order, or registered letter.
