The Diamond-Back Moth.—Recently,, nays the " Manchester Guardian," Mr M, M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a seriefe of experiments in the Alnwick district, ' for the purpose of discovering the baft preventive cf the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth* /■ As the result of his p^eryatiqns he. lifts' been led to think that a 'mixture of soot and lime . applied in the proportion of two bushels of lima and six of soot to the acre will be found to be (he most effective . and cheapest dressing. Not only does the mixture seem. to. kill the caterpillar, but it is also an excellent fertiliser. . ... „■. V 1 MR JAMES ATJSSra, ■/.■. " "-V Winchester, • v . '•• -, 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,iand had no difficulty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I no Sice the roots are much - larger 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, Pkel 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 ono hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone^-in each case one and a quarter hundredweight ™>s 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, i 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 )Vith 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 or. the around, 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 dimp season he believes fhe lime would hive been a thorough success. P.S —Damping the lime with a little v*ter will give a dry powder. %3fc> ensure delivery Orders shorld fco sent early. V, F. WRIGHT, gg Mount Somera

THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, \1 / HTCH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pbeno- YV menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of Uie whole population enjoy the benefits arisimr, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus savin? al 1 middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holdslnvested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25 000 000. This success is owinsj to the fact that the investor sees not onJy a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any othe&prganisation. It has been left to Australia to apply I this gnmd principle to IKRIGATIO^; 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 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." !

All care but no lesporisibility. ]N,B. For this season winners and dams of winners of £100 or over, in one event, free WILLIAM M'ILRAITH, Southbridce 10J31 h T0 S?£Y EL THIS SEASON, IN ASK BURION^and the SURROUNDING THE PUREBRED AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion hone Yoiuig Bauker (1, N.Z. Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by thcHon 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; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one »ide he is sprung from the Prince of Wales and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud horses that the world hag 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 bca'en wherever shown. It would occupy 100 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 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 Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Danedin; as a two yefcr 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 Qatnaru and second at Titnarn; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the rinn; he has been very successful as a breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value in the district where he goes»to travel. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892-, and £2 when mare proves in foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, ss, payable at time of service. . james McDonald, ly 81 Proprietor. TO STAND THIS SEASON at Netherby Lodge, Ashburton. THE THOROUGHBRED STALLION Johnny Faulkner.
