THE RENOWNED SHEEP MEDICINE 1 PRICE, 17s PER GALLON, IN TWO GALLON TINS, WILL DRENCH 320 SHEEP The following are a few of the Testimonials received this Season from the extreme North, testifying to the efficacy of Ford's Scour and Lung-Worm Mixture r - A Buek^and k Sons, Auckland. Waipipi, May 17, 1893. Gentlemen, —In 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, aM I expected some deaths, but so far none have died. I have no dottbt that the mixture is good for internal parasites.-I remain, yours, etc., ROBERX GRAM*. 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 drenohing our 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, thinks 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 hmbs doing well. Yet, we can confidently say that our lambs began to improve immediately after the use of your Lung-worm Mixture, which ha 3no doubt been the salvation of a great number of them, as they were in a bid state before being dosed.— \\ c 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 pleaspd with the results. I think it will pay me well to use it in the future. My sheep have always been very healthy, 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 well.—Yours t™l?. JOHN DOW. Messrs Buckland and Sons, Auckland. Auckland, August 15, 1893. 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 Averv satisfaction, we consider it the beat and most economical mixture that we have tried.-Yours truly, REID BROS., Motu Tapu. IT IS ALWAYS ADVISABLE TO DRENCH LAMBS AFTER WEANING, although no signn 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 i sure cure. Once used always used. FORD S Mixture is also a first'dasß cure for Soour in Calves. It will also improve the condition in unthrifty Calves. F. FEERIMAN, ABHBURTON, PATENTEE & PROPRIETOR. PROFIT AND LOSS IN CUTTING OHAFF Depends entirely on the machine you use. TO MAKE IT PAY it must be done EASILY, RAPIDLY, EFFECTIVELY, and ECONOMICALLY. Thi3 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—ZEALANDIA No. 3, with llin. mouth, three Knives, Riddles, Elevator, and Patent Single Bagger.

AUSTRALASIAN, with 14in. 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 chiff 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 arrangemex t, 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 \n SIX days, besides travelling Sixty miles, as this amount was divided amongst 14 farmers. 22 :F. FBEBIMAN.

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 18£secs. He also used to drive Berlin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley ; and Mr Woodruff says in his book on trotting—" If ever there was a horse which could trot a mile in 2 minutes Mambrino Dudley could before seeing so much stud duty.

In 1891-92, he won the Maiden Plate at Oamaru, with 9st 31b, beating Sincerity, Bst 91b, and several others.

At the C.J C. meeting Young Cheviot carried Bst 21b and won the Maiden Stakes —a mile in Imin 424secs ; the same day he won the Riccarton Welter Handicap, six furlongs, with lOst 81b up, in Imin 16£ sec. Both were very easy wins j and on the second day Young Cheviot gave that great performer Merganser 141bs in the Criterion Stakes, and was only just beaten by a bare half length, the mare carrying 7st 51b. and Young Cheviot, Bst 51j| Young Chaviot won all his races very easily, and each time he started he met good fields, so that his record on the turf stamps him as a good performer.

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 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 irom Prince of Wales, and on the other from Lochfergus ; and anyone who pretends to knowledge in these matters understands that these two sire 3 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 have sprung from Awamoa Besides being a great breeder, Awamoa had a good career in the show ring. As a yearling he took first prize at Oamaru, firs at Christchurch, first at Timaru, and first at Dunedin; as a two-year-old, first at Christ church and second at Oamaru ; as a three year-old, first at Oamaru and champion 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 in the ring; he has been very successful as a breeder; he has proved himself a sure foal getter; hence his value an 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 5,3, payable first service. All mares changing hands in any way, firsj; owners will be held liable. For particulars apply to SAMUEL TIERNEY, Proprietor, 9t184 Or Groom in charge,
