B,Bl^Bo^ IN ASH ffiS SURROUNDING I THE pure-bred"lnd high class CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA. is by-the champion hon* \oiuig Banker (1, NiZ. Stud Book), im. ported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes Dam, Lena, imported from Scotland by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion 6 Awamoa is therefore a horse of great hneage j in fact, he is one of the best bred horses in the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale« and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends i« these matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud horses that theworld 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 11 has never been beaten 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 set* are better than ever, and anyone thihkine of using.this stallion should take, a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young B%bsrinthe 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 Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christohurch, 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 j and when seven years old was champion afc Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the rim?; he has been very successful as a breeder; ne has proved himself a sure foal gett«r; hence his value in the district where he goes to travel. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 18»2; and £2 when mare proves in foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaging the horse. Groom's fee, 5s payable at time of service.

Flying Scud was a dark bay mare, bred in Victoria by Mr J. Harper in 1865, and waa got by Fisherman. Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten, and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse in England. He won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat with. Buck stone for the Ascot Cup. Buckstorie was another grand horse, and was famous not only for the dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot Cup, but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas aside, which he won in a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the dam of Macilleathean being by Fisherman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian bred mares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordenfeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side.

THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, \ITHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, lias met with pheno- W menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. 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 1 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 virgin land, specially adafted for 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 ,he Society's resources admit of colonising same.

Mount Somers Umc KILLS THE DIAMOND-B\CK MOTH. Thb Diamom>-Baok Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments in the Alnvvick 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 Boot and lime applied in 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, WINCHBSTEK, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I hays 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 in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much Ivrger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime in s#wing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very deatructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he .used lime and phosphate in 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—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing in the land which had the most * Kme, although he was told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime \ would liberate the Ammonia from the phosphate. Finishes by aaying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Saya—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 Bround, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and in about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes che Jime would have been a thorough success. P,S. —Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. §3k« ©nsure delivery Orders should to sent early. E. F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers Bullock's Arcade.
