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 the Hon .Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus 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 were the most successful stud hoi-ses thattheworld 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 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 first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timarn, and first at Dnnedin; 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 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 ; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel. 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, ss, payable at time of service.

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-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 not receive from any other organisation. It lias been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to 8 v IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which arc partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virgin land, specially adapted for fruit, 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.
