AWAMOA is by the champion h6rse ioung BauUer (I, N.Z. Stud Book), im- . ported from Scotland by theHon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, , imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfertru ] Champion Awamoa is therefore a horse of grea lineage; m fact, he is one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he ia sprung from the Prince of Wale* 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 thattheworld has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent /iftas never beaten m the ring,, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only J5, wo yln rs °xr • and was sold at 350 guineas. Ihe nlly Nompareil H has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizefcikers 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 Btock m the • paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamqa. had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin: as a two year old, first at ChrisEchufch, aiict second at Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when eeven year* old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the ring; 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. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892; and £2 when mare proves m foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse.

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 owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, tho 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 virrm land, 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 fc" time of lands, as Ac Society's resources admit of colonising same, \ '■■■■ COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident, or non-resident capitalist, the em Bloyed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
