THE PURE-BRED InD HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse \oung Banker (1, N.Z, Stud Book), im ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland, by Luck's All; g.d. Je«ic Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochferjru Champion , Awamoa is therefore a horse of great lineage; m fact, he is one of the beat bred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale* trad 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 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 beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment oh all the prissetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. His yearling gets are better than ever, and anyone thinkinc of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young rtock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took firs* at Oamaru first at Christchurch, first at limaru, and first at Dunedin; as aWo year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Uamaru ; a* a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard : followine year second at Oamaru and Becond at Timaru; and when seven years old wag champion at Oamaro. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the riiuqhe has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value m the district-wkere he goes to travel. .' * lebms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892; and £2 when mare proves m foal.

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 ground, 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 che Hme would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. 83» To ensure delivery Orders shorld to sent early. E. F. WRIGHT, i 85 Mount Somers



Mount Somers liime KILLS THE DIAMOND-B VOX MOTH. The Diamokd-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 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 coot 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, WINCHESTEE, 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 j Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much lerger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, y ft y S —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate* On fifty acres he ufted 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 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 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.
