As a yearling he took firs* : at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at : Timaru, and first at Dnnedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; a* a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year, second at Oamaru and second at: < Timaru; and when {(even yean.old was ■ champion at Oamarn.

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! 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 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 this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, vho have already secured, three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virpin land, specially adapted ffdr 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 ihe Society's resources admit of colonising same.

Mount Somers Lime KILLS THE DIAMOND-BACK MOTH. Tub 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 cf 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 two bushels of We 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, WINCHBSTJBK, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I hay« 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 brger than elsewhere. lam now URing Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, PJSEL FOBBST, 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 ono 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 bo pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W, HARRISOIf, 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 tho coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the turnip segds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the Jime would have been a thorough success. P.S—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. §*§L To ensure delivery Orders shorld bo sent early. US. F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers
