AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (I, N.Z. Stud Book), im- - ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Leoa, 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 Wales 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 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 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 stiljion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m th« 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 Christchurch, first at Timarn, and fiist at Dunediti; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, 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 Timarn; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be aeeu that Awamoa has been, successful m the riiifj;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 marc proves m foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, ss, payable at time of service.

THE 00-OBEEATIYE SYSTEM, Y\7 HIGH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- W menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. 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-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 nob receive fr.gm.dny oilier 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, who 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 virt'in land, specially adapted for fiuit, 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 to time of lands, as the Society's resources admit of colonising same.

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 Hoot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lima 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, WIJfCHBpTEB, 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 j Duncan drill, and had no diflicu^y m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much lsrger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pkel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with fcuperphos phafce to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he ut»ed lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to ono hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight rraa used per acre. He sayrf the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land which had the most ' Km*l, 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 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 hour* after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill: left on the ground, was quite mriisfr witfh the linie dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been, a dtmp season he believes the • lime 1 w6uld have been success. P.S—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder.
