Mount Somers liime KILLS THE DIAMOND-B VCK MOTH. TheDiamohd-Back Moth.—Recently, says the " Manchester. Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments in the Aln wick district, for the purpose of discovering the best preventive of 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 soob and lime applied in 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 difiWty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I noiice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pjbel Forest, S ays —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty , acres he used lime and phosphate in 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 njsed phosphate alone—in each case one aud a quarter hundredweight vn\s used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the lime 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, SOTTTH RAKAIA, Say S __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 2k cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes che lime would have been a thorough success. p # g.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder, jj^_ To ensure delivery Orders shorld to sent early.

AWAMOA is by the champion horse loung Bauker (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 Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he is • sprung from the Prince of Wale* »nd on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most . successful breeder. The colt Regent was ' never beaten in the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has never been beaten wherever shewn. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and • comment on all the prizetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling «e,t«* are better than ever, and anyone thinking of U3ing this stallion should take a trip to . Oamaru and inspect the young*' stock in the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides -being a/* great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first, at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at. Timaru, and first at Dunedin; a* a two year' old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru jap a three year old, first at Oamaru and championhorse of the yard; following, year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru.
