To^ WALTER A. WOOD, M. and R. M. Company, 31 Bedford Street* North Melbourne. Having just 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 scan 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 WALTER A. WOOD'S SINGLE APRON^MACHIMES for use on our farm. (Signed) R. M. SMITH, Manager-

Canterbury College, Laboratory Department, Christchurch, N,Z.,Dec. 30, 1893 REPORT on the examination of a water? filter received from Mr W. H. Role, Ashburton :—The filter consists of a cylin drical vessel of fine grained limestone, fitted into an outer cylinder of glazed 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, gwing the perfection of mechanical filtering together with grt>ati 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 subject of filtering have shown that it is much mors effective than was formerly supposed, even whe.i soluble organic matter passes through filtering has proved itself efficacious in stopping the germs of disease. The filter icaeJf is a very credi table example of colonial industry, and ia very neatly got up. A. W. BICKERTON, 1 27 Colonial Analyst.
