AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (I, N.Z. Stud Book), im. ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes, Dam Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. c Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wales and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge m these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known., Awarnoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten m the ring, and lowered iho colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at .350 guineas. Ihe nlly Nompareil II has never been bea'en wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prusetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m the 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, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and sectfnd at Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at O.imaru and second at limaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be«een that Awamoa has been successful m the rm«;he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel.

fltfE4P TURNIP MANURE. About Is 6d per cwt on the Farm. Mount Soiners IJme KILLS THE DIAMOND-BACK MOTH. The Diamomd-Back Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of .Agriculture, has Men making a series of experiments m the Alnwick district, for the purpose of discovering the best preventive cf the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of »oot and lime Applied m the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing. Not only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTIN, Winchester, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, notwithstanding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difhWty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much brger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pjcel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—m each case one and a quarter hundredweight vms used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land which had the most. lime, although he was told not to mjx the iime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that ho intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, SoiTTH RaKAIA, Says—He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of 2\ cwt per acre. In about fifteen hoars after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter o£ the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a d*mp season he believes rhe lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder, I^, To ensure delivery Orders shorld t« sent early. F, F, WRIGHT, cq Mount Somers .
