AWAMOA is by the champion horse \oung Banker (I, 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 horee of great lineage; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one Bide he is sprung from the Prince of Wale« and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters un derstands that these two sires wese the most successful stud horses that the world 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 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 arc better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this Btillion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock in the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first at- Oajnaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timafu, and first at Donedin; 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 in the .rinj?; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a Bure foal getter ; hence his value in the district where he goes to travel. --■•<•-.

Mount Somers liime 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 AUSTTN, Winchester, 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 in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I noiice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in s»wing 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 lin.e to one hundredweight of phosphate; oh 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 in the land which had the most lime, although he was told not lo 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 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, To ensure delivery Orders shor'ld be sent early. E. F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Soniera 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 al l 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 hia investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation.
