The colt Regent was "2 11 theJ** *nd lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has neveV been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock inthe paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring As a yearling he took first at Oamaru first at Christchurch* tint at litnaru, and first at Dunedin; as a twoyeS old, first afc Christchurch, and seeoncUt Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and .ecood »t limaru; and when eeven years old Was champion at Oamaru.

THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, 11 THIGH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- W menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al? middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owins? to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair i commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been leffc to Australia to apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, vho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virpin l»i«*» specially adapted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian Governments concerned for Government concessions from time fr> time of lands, as jhe Society's resources admit of colonising same, COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist, the em oloyed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
