WILLIAM M'ILKAITH, South bridge' TO TRAVEL THIS SEASON, IN ASH BtJRTON and the SURROUNDING THE PURE-BREdTnd HIGH CLASS CLYDESDALE STALLION Awamoa. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (1, N.Z. Stud Book), im portedfr m 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 Lochfertru Champion Awamoa is therefore a horse of grea lineage; m fact, he is one of the best bred horses m the world. On one side he is sprung from the Prince of W Tale« and on the other from Lochfergus; and anyone who pretends to knowledge m these matters un derstands that theae 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 bpaten m the ring, and lowered the colors of the famous British Lion when only two years old, and was sold at 350 guineas. Ihe nlJy Nompareil II has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space for a card to enumerate and comment on all the prizetakers th»fc have sprung from Awamoa. Hia yearling get* are better than ever, and anyone thinkingof using this stallion should take a trip to Oamaru and inspect the young stock m the paddocks at Awamoa. Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career m the show ring. As a yearling he took first at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Xirnaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two year old, first at Christchurch, and second at Uanrnru; as a three year old, first at Oamaru and champion horse of the yard; following year second at Oamaru and second at -limaruj and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus be seen that Awamoa has been successful m the rnuj; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved" himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value m the district where he goes to travel. »J E *oS> £ u4; £2 Payable January 2, 1892; and 12 when mare proves m foal.

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 all middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holdslnvested 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 virpin 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 concerned for Government concessions from time fc« time of lands, as ,he Society's resources admit of colonising same, COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-resident capitalist, the em oloyed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
