WILLIAM M'ILRAITH, Southbridee 1013.1 - . • * T° S?™ SEASON, IN ASH- DiSacTs the SURROUNDING THE PURE-BRED~AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse \oung Banker (1, N,Z.. Stud feook), 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; m fact, he is one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he is 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. *he most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent waft never beaten m the ring, and lowered,the colors of the famous British Lion when only two yean old, and was sold at 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has never 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 m the paddocks at. Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took fin* at Oainaru, first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; a* a three year old, first at Oamaru and ohamp lo n horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at limaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen ' that Awamoa has been successful m the ' run?; he has been very successful as * 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, 1892r and £2 when mare proves m foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, 5s payable at time of service.

Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwick 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 soot and lime applied m the proportion of two busjiels of lime and six of soot to-the acre will be "ound 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, WINCHBSTEK, 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 difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much lerger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m ssswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used linie 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—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight wis 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 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 he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime into a iine 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 hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of 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 damp season he believes the Jime would have been a thorough success. P.S— Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder.

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 1 middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operaKve 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 I ■ . IRRIGATION.
