THE PURE-BRED AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, 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 Lochfergu Champion Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he U 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 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 cDlors 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 whererer 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 gocd 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 Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; as a three year old, firstat Oamaru and champion horse of the yard j following year second at Oamaru and second. at Timaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the rins?; he has been very successful as a. breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter j hence his value m the district where he goes to travel. .Tkhms,£4; £2 payable January % 1892 j and JC2 when mare proves m foal.

THE DIAMOND-B\GK MOTH. \ The Diamond-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 Aln wick district, for the purpose of discovering the bast \ 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 coot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to bo 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, WINCHESTBE, 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 noiice the roots are much forger than elsewhere. I.am now URir.g Lime m s«wing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THE#, Pjsel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he us>ed 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—in 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 waa told not to mix the time 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, 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 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 Hie lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping.the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. o ensure delivery Orders ahorld to sent early. X F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somersl Bullock's Arcade.

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 all middlemen's profits, and the Chief "Wholesale Co-opera*lve Socioty there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owin» 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 * v IRRIGATION.
