THE PURE-BRED AND HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (I, N.Z. Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Locbiergii Champion. Awamoa is therefore a horse of great , lineage; in fact, he is one of theibest bred horses in the world. On one side he j* sprung from the Prince of-Wale* and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone wlib pretends to knowledge in these mattet* iini derstands that these two sires weie. the most successful stud horses 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 350 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 tne 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 Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and secoad at Oamaru; ap a three year old, first at Oamarn and champion horse of the yard; following : year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring; 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, 6s I payable at time of service. ; james McDonald, I 12_^_ Proprietor.

Nellie Ivanhoe has taken four first prizes and two seconds at Oamaru, once champion mare, and never beaten but by her stable companion, "Laura McPherson." Athelstane took Ist prize as a yearling at Oamaru in 1884, Athelstane is sire of Andrew Crystal's horse, King o' the Clans, dam Agate.

THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, \\[ HIGH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno \'\ menal success wherever ifc 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 saving'all 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 owina; 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. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which ars 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.

Mount Homers Lime KILLS THE DIAMOISD-BVCK MOTH. Tub Diamoi*p-Back Moth.—Recently, Bays the " Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Ir.»pectur of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments in the Alnwick district, for the purpose of discovering the bast preventive of 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 Boot and lime applied in the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of sOot to the acre will be found to be the mosfc effective and cheapest dressing. Nob only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but it is also ah excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES-^IJSTTN, WINCHESTKK, « Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the beat crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, notwithstanding the very bid 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, 1 notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now usir.g Lime in sswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pjekl Forest, S a y s —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. Or thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres lie used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight tras used per sicre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most lime, although he waa told not lo 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, arid in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp 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. %*£, To ensure delivery Orders shorld to sent early. E F. WRIGHT, (jg Mount Somers
