Jessie Brown, importer), by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wales and oh the other from Lochfergusj and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters un 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 Nomparcil II has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the pHzetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling "cets 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 Dunediu; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Oamaru; as a three r y.ear old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard ; following year second at Oamaru and second at riinaru; and when eeven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be*een that Awamoa has* been successful in the nnjjjhe 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. Grooin'a fee, ss, payable at time of service.

Mount Homers Lime KILLS THE DIAMOND-B VCK MOTH. The DiAMoan-BACK Moth.—Recently, Bays 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 bast preventive cf the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of hi* observations he has been led to think tha|/a mixture of soot and lime applied ii^the proportion of two bushel* 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 hava 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 spilb, I noiice the roots are much forger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pjeel Forest, 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 acrjs he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was ined 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 so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, 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 cround, 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 dimp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.S —Damping the lime with a little vnter will give a dry powder. |J3fc.
