Mount Somers Lime

KILLS THE DIAMOND-BACK 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 in 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 in the proportion of two bushels of lime 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,

WINCHESTEE, 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 lima with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I noiice the roots are much l?rger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in 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 superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate in 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 r-in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in 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 fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of 2h 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 in about, thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder.

Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion . * Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he in sprung from the Prince of Wale* and on the other from Lochfergug; and anyone wh<r pretends to knowledge in these matters un derstandß that these two sira w«e the most successful stud horses thattheworld has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten in 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 bea'en whererer shown. It would occupy top much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetaken that haw sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinkinc of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock i* the paddocks at Awamoa. BeSide. being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first at Oamaru, -first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first; at Dunedin ? as a, two year old, first at Ghristbhurch, 1 and second at Oamaru; a* a three yeat bid, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when eeven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the rin«;he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself « sure foal getter; hence his value in the district where he goes to travel.
