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 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 Wale* 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 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' 1 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 Christchurcb, first at Timaru, and first at Dnnedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; ajs 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 wa« champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the ririj?; he has been very successful as a breeder; he.has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence hia value m the district where ;he goes to travel. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892; and £2 when mare proves m foal. AH mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, 5s payable at time, of service.

V HOI AS, ASHBURTON THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, 11/"HTCH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- VY menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of fche whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving aY 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] £26,000,000. 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 has been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society, of Australia, Limited, vho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially setiled 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 txt time of lands, as ,he Society's resources admit, of colonising same.

Mount Somers liiinc KILLS THE DIAMOND-B\CK MOTH. Tub Diamohb-Baok Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Gfuardian," 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 cf 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 Boot 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 AUSTTN, WINCHESTEK, Says—The Litne I bought was used with Turnips, and I hay« 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 notice the roots are much l?rger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m a#wing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Fokest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used 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 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'witii' the result that he intends using Hme 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 rhe Hme would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little vater will give a dry powder. fc3U To ensure delivery Orders shor'ld re sent early. X F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers Bullock's Arcade.
