Stud feook), im! KS? m Gotland by,theHon Matthew ... Awamoa is therefor* a horse of grea lineage; m fact, he is one of the bestbred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of Wale* and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyon. who pretends to knowledge m theae matters un derstands that these two sires weie the most successful stud honjes 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 The filly Nomparal II has never been beaten wherever shown. It-would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and . comment on all the prizetafcers 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 young stock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a 1 great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at' J-imaru, 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. It will thus be seen - that Awamoa has been successful m the rnu<; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence hia value m the district where he goes to travel. Terms, £4; £2 payable January 2, 1892 j and £2 when mare proves m foal. All mares changing hands to be paid for by the person engaguig the horse.

Colonial Mutual Life Assurance Society, Limited r MOSS ANDRESTEiLL, WEST STREET, ASHBURTON 1 THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, % %THICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno- W menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kinadom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy frhn Lnefits arising from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus «wS middlemen's profits, and tne Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds JP2S 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 prinoiple to IRRIGATION.
