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 Lochfercu Champion . . * Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact, he is one of the best I>recl horses in the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale* and on tbe other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters nn derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud hones 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 a'*).guinea*. The filly Nompareil II has never been oe**en wherever shown. It would occupy too much epace for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetakers that hafe sprung from Awamoa. His yearling sett are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this sfcillion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock in the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a goodoaree? in the show ring As a yearling he took first at Oamaeu, first at Christehurch, first, at J imaru, and first at Dunedin } as a two year old, first at.Christehurch, and second at Oamaru; a* a three year old, 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 run,'; he has been very successful as » breeder ; he has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value in the district where* he goes to travel.

The Diamokd-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 cf the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of his observations ho has been led to think that a mixture of coot 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", Winchest.ee, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnip?, 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 notice the roots are much lerger than elsewhere. lam noAv using Lime in sowing 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 u&ed lime and phosphate in the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres ho 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 in the land which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the iime 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, SOT'TH IIAKAIA, 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 2i 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 fhe lime would have been a thorough success. P.S—Dampirg the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. ifc£§J3 To ensure delivery Orders shor'ld ho sent early. E, F, WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers Bullock's Arcade.

In the Unil ed 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 savin« al? middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holdsinvested capital of over €11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owin» to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial feturn on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation.
