STILL FAVOBS COIE. FABMEBS SEEDipd IACntSBI READ THIS. From— R. Mj SMITH, Managerfor;C,^H. Barton, "Town,', Maryvale, New South Wales. September 30, 1893. To WALTER A. WOOD, M. and R. M. Company, 31 Bedford Street* North Melbourne. Having jasfc returned from the World's Fair at Chicago, and the Royal Agricultural Society's Show of England, where I saw most of the Reapers and Binders known to Science, and having visited some of the largest Harvesting Machinery Manufactories in America, we have arrived at the conclusion that the WALTER A. WOOD SINGLE APRON REAPER AND BINDER will best fill the requirements of our farm. We have Be 3 n and felt the evil and ex pense of running different makes of machines, and we are determined in future to stick to one stjle and make, and to carry out these views we are selling our present Binders (having three different makes), and have bought eight of WALTEB A. WOOD'S SINGLE APRON MACHINES for use on our farm. (Signed) R. M. SMITH, Manager WALTER A. WOOD.

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christchurch, N,Z.,Dec. 30,1893 REPORT on the examination of a water filter received from Mr W. H. Rule, Ashburton:—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed i stoneware, the latter serving to collect and retain the filtered water. The idea of using a porus stone in this particular form is a very good one, giving the perfection of mechanical filtering together with greats facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as a filter for separating every variety of mechanically suspended matter was tho roughly tested with the most satisfactory results. .Recent investigations on the subjecb of filtering have shown that it is much more effective than was formerly supposed, even whea soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter itself is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and ia . very neatly got up. A. W; BIOKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
