Company, 31 Bedford Street North Melbourne. Having jusfc 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,jisited 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 S93 n and felt the evil and ex pense of running different makes of machines, and we are determined b 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 WALTER A. WOOD'S SINGLE APRON MACHINES for use on our farm. (Signed) R. M. SMITH, Manager

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Chriutohurch, N.Z.,Dec. 30, 181 REPORT on the examination of a wat filter received from Mr W. H, Bui Ashburton: —The filter consists of a cyU drical vessel of fine grained limeetor fitted into an outer cylinder of glaz stoneware, the latter serving to collect ai retain the filtered water. The idea using a porus stone in this particular foi is a very good one, giving the perfectii of mechanical filtering together with gre facilities for cleaning. Its capacity as filter for separating every variety mechanically suspended matter was th roughly tested with the most satisfactoi results, Recent investigations on tl subject of filtering have shown that it much more effective than was former supposed, even whe.i soluble organ matter passes through filtering has prove itself efficacious in stopping the germs < disease. The filter itself is a very cred table example of colonial industry, and 1 very neatly got up. A. W. BIOKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
