THE THOROUGHBRED HORSE Macilleathean. \ TACILLEATHEAN is a handsome dark IVI brown or black horse, and stands 16 hands high. He M-as got by the English Tim Whiffler out of Flying Scud. Flying Soud was a dark bay mare, bred m Victoria by Mr J. Harper m 1865, and was got by Fisherman. Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten, and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat withißuck stone for the Ascot Cup.

Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and | Derby, and the dam of Macilleathean being by Fisherman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordeufeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side.

THE CO-OPEKATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. 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 savin" al 1 middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-opera^ve Society there holdslnvested 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 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. i And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, vho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and nknted are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virrin land, specially adar ted 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 ,he Society's resources admit of colonising same, COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist, the em Dloved worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor The Board of Manage ment comprises amongst its Members some of the best and most favorably known men m Australia.
