On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wales and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who Sretends to knowledge m these matters un erstands that these two. sires weie the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has Tieen 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 1 350 guineas. The filly Nompareil II has never' been bea f 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 of using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the youug Btock 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 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 Timaru; and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru.

In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of Uie whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al 1 middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Socio.ty 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 t6 apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION. And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, who 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 v orpin land, specially adapted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian Governments conceftled for Government concessions from time to time of lands, as the Society's resources admit, of colonising same.
