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 1 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 owim? to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profit* vhiph he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been left to Australfat»apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia,; Limited, who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially 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.

MR JAMES \USTIN, WINCHESTBK, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, not withstanding; the very bad season for that ctop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m so doibg. W^here any unusual quantity of Lime wa3 spilt, I notice the toots are much larger than elsewhere lam now using Lime m 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 ho used lime aad phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two backets 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 s*ya. the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land v. hich had the most lime, although he vas told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the Infoe 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 about 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 m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted, and finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.B.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. Ki^* To ensure delivery Orders should be s nt early. *11 E. F. WRIGHT,

The Thoroughbred Horse Macilleatheaii. iyT ACILLEATHEAN is a handsome dark IVI .brown or.black horse, and stands 16 hands high. Hje was got by th« English Tim Whi tiler out of Flying Bcuil. Flying Scud'was a dark bay mare, bred m Victoria, by Mr J. Harper hi 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 with Buck stone for the Ascot Cup. Buckstone was another grand horse, and was famous hot only for the dead heat he ran with" Tim Whiffler for the Ascot Cup, but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Khowsley for 500 guineas aside, which-he won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseie, who won the Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the dam of Macilleatliean being by Fisherman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's gre&t success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordenffcldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's aide.
