Awamoa is therefore a horee of crea ' lineage; m fact, he is one of the bestVed horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale* and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who 1 pretendß to knowledge m these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the ' most successful stud horses thattheworld has ever known. 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 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 the 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 m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a . great breeder, Awamoa had a goodcaree? m. the show rmg As a yearling he took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin j as a two year old, first at Christchurcb, and second at Oamaru; as a three year old, firstat Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; folWine year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when eeven years old was champion at Oamaru.

About Is 6d per cwt on the Farm. mount Somers IJme KILLS THE BIAMOND-B YCK MOTH. The Diamond-Back Moth.—Recently^ says the " Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwick district, for the purpose of discovering the best 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 soot and lime applied m the proportion of twp 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, Winchester, S a ys—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 noiice the roots are much Iprger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very I Tetructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pbei, Fokest, 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—m each case one and a quarter hundredweight w»s 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 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, SOTTTH 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 around, 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 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, |£sfc, To ensure delivery Orders should fco sent early. E. F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers

THE CO-OPEEATIVE 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 •avine al! middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-opera*ive Society there holds invested 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 thi. grand principle to jRRjG AT t Q j,. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, .rho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and oknted are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virrin 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 fa> time of lands, as Jie Society's resources* admit of colonising same.
