Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by theHon Matthew Holmes Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dani'byLochferau Champion . Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the bestTwed 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 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 &50 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 hare ; sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyon* thinking of using this sfcillion should take a trip to Oamarii and inspect the young »tock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling ke took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year flld, first at Christchurch, and secoadat Oamaru; ap a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru; and when eeven years old «v champion at Oamaru. It will thus be Men that Awamoa has been successful m the rins»; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a son foali getter ; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel.

Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwick 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 soot 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, 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 difficu^y m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I nobice the roots are much l?rger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m swwing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, ; , ' : Pjsel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty aci-es 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 1 another thirty acres he used phosphate [ alone—m each case one and a quarter I hundredweight vrna 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 its so 1 pleased with the r«sult that he intends using lime again. J MR W. HARRISON, SOT^TH 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 sjmouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a dnmp season he believes rhe lime would have been a thorough success. P.S —Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder.

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 laving al? middlemen's profits, and the Chief "Wholesale Co-opprative Soci«(jy there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and tho 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.
