Waipipi, May 17, 1893. Gentlemen,—ln answer to your enquiry re the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture, I may say that I drenched my lambs with it on the 31st March. Some of them were looking bad, and I expected some deaths, but so far none have died. I have no doubt that the mixture is good for internal parasites.—l remain, yours, etc., ROBERT CRAIG. Mr Joseph Ford. Hoteo North, May 18, 1893. Dear Sir, —We, the undersigned, have very great pleasure in testifying to the efficiency of your Patent Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture. We purchased two 2-gallon tins from your Auckland agents, Messrs A. Buckland and Sons, and have used a portion of it for drenching oar flock of about 400 lambs with the very best results, About three months before we dosed them, they were scouring very bad and a great many had lung-worm, some having already died ; but, thanks to your Mixture, we have scarcely lost any since giving it to them, although we consider that this continued wet season has been greatly against lambs doing well. Yet, we can confidently say that our lambs began to improve immediately after the use of your Lung-worm Mixture, which haa no doubb bean the salvation of a great number of them, as they were in a bid state before being dosed.—We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, J. and R. GRANT. Messrs A. Buckland & dous, Auckland. Wairoa S., May 10, 1893. Dear Sir?,—l used some of Ford's Lung-Worm Mixture and am well pleased with the results. I think it will pa> me well to use it in the future. My sheep have always been very bealthy, and this is the first season I have done anything to them in the way of drenching. We picked out the worst of the lambs and drenched them once. Afterwards, only two of them died, and the others seemed to thrive and do welll~You^CT^l;^ ow Messrs Buckland and Sons, Auckland. Auckland, August 15, 1«93. Gentlemen,— We have much pleasure in advising you that we have used six tins of Ford's Lung-Worm a,nd Scour Mixture on both calves and sheep, and that it has given us every satisfaction, we consider it the best and most economical mixture that we have tried.-You« truly, REID BROS,, Motu Tapu. IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO DRENCH LAMBS AFTER WEANING, although no signs of Scour are apparent. It will always pay to Drench with FORDS-He is well paid who is well satisfied. CAUTION TO BUYERS -Don't purchase imitations ; see that you get FORD'S Mix ture Acts promptly ; Bure cure. Once used always used. FORD'S Mixture is also a first-class cure for Scour in Calves. It will also improve the condition in unthrifty Calvee. F. FERRIMAN, ASHBURTON, PATENTEE & PROPRIETOR. • PROFIT AND LOSS IN CUTTING CHAFF Depends entirely on the machine you use. TO MAKE IT PAY it must be done EASILY, RAPIDLY, EFFECTIVELY, and ECONOMICALLY. This can only be accomplished by getting a machine that will Cut the Chaff, Clean ib from all Impurities, and put it into bags at the one operation, and this is exactly what Andrewes & Beaven's TRAVELLING CHAFFCUTTERS, with SELF-ACTING AUTOMATIC BAGGERS do, Made in four sizes, as under —ZEALANDfA No. 3, with 11 in; mouth, three Knives, Riddles, Elevator, and Patent Single Bagger.

CANTERBURY No. 6 with 14in. mouth, three or four knives, Riddle, Elevator, and Patent Double Bagger. Capacity up to 24 tons per day. AUSTRALASIAN, with 14in. mouth, four Knives, Extra Knife Wheel, Riddles, Gearing Balance Elevator, Patent Double Bagger, and Bag Supports. Capacity up to 30 tons per day. Every one of the self-acting Baggers on these machines is fitted with the New Patent Chaff Screws, so that the chaff is NOT crushed or broken, and at the same time the power is reduced One-third, and up to 1201bs of oaten sheaf chaff has been put into an ordinary grain bag. The bags are supported by our Patent Bag Supports. Then again, every machine is fitted with the New Diamond Hard Chill Mouthpiece (which is as smooth as glass and harder than steel), or with Detachable Steel Slips, as preferred. Improved Feeding arrangemect, which is always Sure, always Positive, always Reliable. Improved Straight bladed Knives, which cut through hard, dry stuff quite easily, besides taking only about half the usual time to sharpen. The best and finest Steel Spindles throughout, besides large and wide brasses, giving ample wearing surface. Extra Strong Gearing and Balanced Fly Wheels, and lots of other good points. A No. 4 Canterbury machine recently cut 96 tons of hay in SIX days, besides travelling Sixty miles, as this amount was divided amongst 14 farmers, mmmm :F. FBERIMAJST.

Stud Book) imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot Jand, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergu Champion. AWAMOA is therefore a horse of great lineage; in fact he is one of the best bred horses in the world, On one side he is sprung from Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus ; and anyone wko pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sirea were the most successful stud horses that the world 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 Nonpareil 11. has never been beaten wherever shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate and comment on all prizetakers that ha^e sprung from Awamoa | Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring.
