WILLIAM M'ILRAITH, Southbridge 10131 ■ h TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BURTON and the SURROUNDING DISRICTS. THE PUREBRED- AND HIQH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. " AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Bauker (I, ,N,Z. Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by the Hbn Matthew Holroes.. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion; ' Awamoa is therefore. ■ a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the best ored horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale" and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends.to knowledge m these matters un derstands that these two sir.es 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 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 bea'en 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 nf using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m the - paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a j. great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m jj 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 second at Oamaru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at fc» CTimaru; and .when seven years old was r, champion at Oamaru. Ib will thus be seen n. that Awamoa has been successful m the th ring;; he has been very successful as a ir, breeder ;he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value m the district where nt he goes to travel. • ' 7 ifs Terms, £-1; £2 payable January 2, 1892 $ m and £2 when mare proves m foal All 1m mares changing hands to be paid for by the rd person engaging the horse.

MR W. HARRISON, SOTJTH 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, wag quite moisb with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours fche 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. t~^» To ensure delivery Orders shorld to sent early. X F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers



MR ROBERT THEW, PfiEl, FCUEST, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he u&ed 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 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 JAMES AUSTIN, Winchester 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 spilfc, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest ia very destructive this season.

As the result of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of Boot and lime applied m the proportioai of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing.
