PRICE, 17a PER GALLON, IN TWO GALLON TINS, WILL DRENCH 320 SHEEP. The f< llowing are a few of the Testimonials received thia Season from the extreme North, testifying to the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture : - A. Buck'and & Sons, Auckland. Waipipi, May 17, 1803. Gentlemen, —In answer to your euquiry re the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture, I may say that I drenched my lambs with ib on the 3lst 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 ia good for internal parasites.—l remain, your 3, etc., ROBERT CRAIG. Mr Joseph Ford. Hoteo North, May 18, 1893. Dear Sir, —We, the undersigned, have very greit pleasure in testifying to the efficiency of your Patent Scour and Lung-Worm Mixtare. We purchased two 2-gallon tins from your Auckland agents, Mesars A. Buckland and Sons, and have used a portion of it for drenching oar flock of about 400 lamb 3 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 giviDg 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 Mixtare, which has no doubt been the salvation of a great numbsr of them, as they were in a bxd state before being dosed.—We are, dear sir, yours faithfully, J. and R. GRANT. Messrs A. Buckland & Auckland. Wairoa S., May 10, 1893. Dear Sirs,—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 die j, and the others seemed to thrive and do well.—Yours truly, JOHN DOW. Messrs Buckland and Sons, Auckland. Auckland, August 15, 1593. Gentlemen,—We have much pleasure in advising you that we have used six tins of Ford's Lung-Worm and Scour Mixture on both calves and sheep, and that it has given us every satisfaction, we consider it ths best and most economical mixture that we have tried.—Yours truly, REID BROS,, Motu Tapu. IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO DRENCH LAMBS AFTES WEANING, although no signs of Scour are apparent. It will always pay to Drench with FORD'S—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 s sure cure. Once used always used. FORDS Mixture is also a first-class cure for Scour ia Calves, It will also improve the condition in unthrifty Calves. F. FEBBIMAN, ASHBURTON, PATENTEE & PROPRIETOR.



PROFIT AND LOSS IN CUTTING OHAFF Depends entirely on the machine you use. TO MAKE IT PAY ifc must be done EASILY, RAPIDLY, EFFECTIVELY, and ECONOMICALLY. This can only be accomplished by getting a machine that will Cut the Chaff, Clean it 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—ZEALAND!A No. 3, with llin. mouth, three Knives, Riddles, Elevator, and Patent Single Bagger.

AUSTRALASIAN, with Hin. mouth, four Knives, Extra Knife Wheel, Riddles, Gearing Balance Elevator, Patent Double Bigger, 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 clnff is NOT crushed or brokeD, and at the game 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 Monthpiece Which is as smooth as glass and harder than steel), or with Detachable Steel Slips, as preferred.

THE Standard-bred American Trotting Stallion, GENERAL TRACEY, is full brother to the well-known performer, Kentucky, being by Berlin (imp.), dam, Jenny Tracey (imp.) This mare was im ported by Mr Robert Wilkin, but before leaving America, Hiram Woodruff, a great authority on trotting, drove Jenny Tracey a mile in 2min 18jsecs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—"lf ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty. So it is plain that Ken tacky and General Tracey contain the very best strains of American trotting blood. Mares grazed free. Every care taken bu no responsibility. J. C N. GRTGG, Longbeach.



NORTON'S Pedigree shows him to \* be descended, both on dam and sire's sides, from the most successful racing stock in England. Thunderbolt was probably the most brilliant horse in England of his day, having beaten Buc caneer (who is credited with the fastest mile on record—l*3B) the only time they met; he is also the sire of some of the greatest racehorses in England. The pedigree of Lyra speaks for itself, being by Thormanby (sire of Albany), one of England's most fashionable sires, out of a Touchstone mare. Gorton is the sire of such well-known performers as Blizzard, St. Ives, St Malo, Pique, Conjurer, Emmason, Langley, Enfield, Mistral, Rothamsted, Warring ton, Errington, and others.

YOUNG CHEVIOT'S Record was highly creditable, for during the thirteen months after coming into his present owner's possession he won 13 races, 7 times second, 3 times third, and 6 times unplaced, one of those times he fell. In 1891-92, he won the Maiden Plate at Oamaru, with 9st 31b, beating Sincerity, Bst 9.b, and eeveral others.

Young Cheviot won all his racea very easily, and each time he started he met good fields, so that his record on the turf stamps him as a good performer.

TO STAND this Season, and travel the Wakanui, Rakaia, Lauriston, and Ashbur- j ton Forks Districts! Thb PUREBRED CLYDESDALE ENTIRE EMPEROR. IF mper >B is a beautiful bright bay, stands -J 16 hands 3 inches high, on short' legs, with great strength and bone, fine symmetry, and superior action, and was foaled Novem ber 23, 1887, and was only shown once (in 1890), when he tcok second prize ab Ash burton A and P. Association's Show, EMPKROR was bred by James Byrnes, Esq., Doyleston; his sire, that well-known horse General Gordon. General Cordon has gained six first prizes, three seconds, and three special prizes, for best draught entire in the show yard. General Gordon's dam is Marchioness 1., the noted prize-taking mare. In her show yard career she has taken no less than sixteen first prizes, seven second prizes, and eighteen special prizes, including champion gold medal, and has been first seven times in succession for best mare (and ■ two of her progeny), and in this respect she has never been beaten. General Gordon, sire Victor. Victor has been very successful in his show yard career, gaining seven first prizes, four second prizes, and four speciil prizes, including champion gold medal twice : Victor's dam, Diamond, a noted prize-taker in Southland, always gaining first prizes when shown. Victor's sire, Conqueror, imported from Scotland ; his grand-sire, Scottish Champion. Emperor's dam, Jess, by Glenroy, also a noted prize-taker ; grand*dam, by Old Major. Glenroy was bred in Victoria, his sire, Prince of Wales, dam Darling, by Redman. The above will tend to show that Emperor has the best strains of blood in him that it is possible to procure. TERMS—-Season, £2 103, payable January 1, 1894; guarantee, £3 10s; payable August 1, 1894. Groomage fee, ss; payable first service. Mares changing hands to be paid for as season mares.

TO STATSD at Methven and TRAVEL in the Rakaia and Methven Districts, THE PUREBRED AND HIGH-CLASS CLYDESDALE ENTIRE AWAMOA. AWAMOA is by the champion horse Young Banker (I, N Z. Stud Book), imported from Scotland by the Hon Matthew Holmes. Dam, Lena, imported from Scot land, by Luck's All; g.d. Jessie Brown, imported, by Old Times, dam by Lochfergus 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 sires were the most successful stud horses that the world has ever known. Awamoa has been a most successful breeder. The colt Regent was never b,eaten 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 JI. has never been beaten whereyer shown. It would occupy too much space to enumerate apd pomment on all priaetakers that have sprung from Awamoa. I Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, first at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin ; as a two-year-old, first at Christ* church and second at Oamaru 5 as a three? year-old, first at Oa-maru and champion of the yard j following year second at Oamaru and second at Timaru j and when seven years old was champion at Oamaru. It will thus, be seen that Awamoa has been successful in the ring 1 he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter ; hence his value as a sire, and breeders should not miss such a chance, as they have not had such a stallion in the district before. Terms—Guarantees, four guineas. Season mates as per agreement. Groomage fee ss, payabl.9 first service. All (Shades changing hande in any way, first owners will be Held liablg."
