i r — -^— — TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BURTON and the SURROUNDING DISBICTS. THE PURE-BRED" AND HIGH CLA&S I CLYDESDALE'STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse loung 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 Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the beatbred horses m the world. On one aide 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 the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten, m the ring, and lowered the color? of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has never been bea*en wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card toenumerate.and comment on all the prizet&kers that have ; sprung from Awamoa. His yearling geta 1 are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this stallion should take a trip to , Oamaru *nd 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 Chrietchurch, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Ghristchurch, and 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 Timara; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the nnij; 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 tiuvel. 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. Groom's fee, 5s payable at time of service.

The Diabiokd-Back Moth^—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," 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 beet 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 bushels of lhhe*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, WINCHESTEB, 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 difficu^y m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I noiice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now usir.g Lime m sawing 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 .superphosT phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acrfes he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres ho 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 was 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 iime 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 fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of 1\ cwfc per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the around, 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 dtnip 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,
