Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never beaten m the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 360 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 are better than ever, and anyone thinking of using this etillion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a gocd career m the show ring.

Honnt Somers T^line KILLS THE DIAMOND-BVCK MOTH. The Diamoisd-Back Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Keynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Aln wick district, for the purpose of discovering the beet 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 Boot and lime applied m 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, WINCHJESTEK, 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 m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now usir-g Lime m sswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which peat is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, PJSEI, FOREST, Says —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he 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 m the land which had the most lime, although he was told not to 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 m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a dnmp 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. %&m To ensure delivery Orders shor Id to sent early. X F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers
