It is Non-Poisonous, except to insect life; safe and easy to use ; cleanses the wool, and promotes its growth by supplying the fleece with a nourishing, oil or fatty food ; only requires cold water to mix, m which it is immediately soluble ; this is an immense advantage wbera the dipping is done upon the farm or sheep run, where hot water is not: easily procurable. ' THIS IS THE LATEST ADVANCE IN DIPS.

It is an alkaline prepara- tion of tar, oils, and acids, and contains 26 per cent of tar acids. It is an excellent preparation, and is not only well suited for destroying tick?, lice, etc., and for treating " eoab," •• mange," etc, but also for destroy, ing the spores of the anthrax microbe 'Bacillus anihtacis), and preventing the spread of anthrax among flocks of sheep. This fluid is a most Buyable preparation for the purposes towhioh it is applied, and may be recommended as a safe remedy for the various parasitic and inf eotious diseases whioh attaok sheep and other farm animals.

The Portable Swing Water Barrow. Prerention is Better Than Cure mHE few caßes of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no 1 ground for a " scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the « Nineteenth Century " of last year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some tillages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five jears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria, and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French' Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria or the poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements. By its use, a two-fold benefit is derived. The fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to various kinds of use, and they are.so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Possession of one becomes an absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. — (o) improred Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joiDt, and Semi-double sheeted frame— galvanised.

It has been found m South Australia that the best way to cope with the , lucerne bug is to scatter straw over the 1 bare spots where they may happen to > appear and burn them out.

PABMEKB' COLUMN, » A OT7RE FOR BOTS IN HORSES For bots m hones the following American remedy is said to be effectual : — " First give the horses two quarts of new milk and one quart of molasses. Fifteen minutes after give two quarts very strong sage tea. Thirty minutes after the tea give three pints of currier's oil, or enough to operate as physic The molasses and milk cause the bots to let go their hold, the sage tea puckers them ap, and the oil carries them completely away." A MONSrER PLOUGHING MATCH. Perhaps the largest ploughing match ever held anywhere came oS recently under the auspices of the North Kent Agricultural Association. There were 168 ploughs set to work m an immense field on the farm of Mr John Russell, of Horton Kit by. near Dartford. The Russell family have for gem-rations been amongst the most enterprising agriculturists of Kent. The sight, of so many ploughs with their drivers and their teams of about fivehnudred horses was something to be remembered, and there were several thousands of farmers and others present. NEW VARIETIES OF POTATOES Some months ago Mr M9ek and Dr De Liutour arranged to obtain some new varieties of potatoes from one of the best growers m Great Britain. Six varieties where ordered out of some two or three hundred kinds. These were distributed between about twenty growers. The potatoes arrived m the beginning of February and were planted. Speaking of the first sample, which was grown by Mr Haiford of Kakanui, the North Otago Times says : — "The Variety is that known as * Early Wonder.' These potatoes are quite fit for the table, and are, as advertised, ready to dig m eight weeks from planting. CASTOR-OIL BRANS AS A CROP. Ihe castor-oil plant is reoommended by the Agricultural Department, m a leaflet just issued, as a new commercial crop for New Zealand. It is urged that the castor-oil plant could be profitably cultivated m New Zealand Ha an auxiliary to othor orops, on head- lands and odd corners. The average yield of the seeds or beans is said to be 25 bushels of 561 b per acre, but 50 or 60 bushels have been grown m America. Price of the beans is said to be 12s 6d per cwt or 6a 3d per bushel m London, In 1894 New Zealand imported 90,000 gallons of cantor-oil, valued at about £9000. As the beans yield 40 to 50 per cent of oil, it would need 30,000 te 40 000 bushels of beans to supply New Zea- land's 1894 demand for castor-oil. The leaflet gives directions for growing and harvesting the crop. A NEW PEST. A new insect pest has found its way i to the Australian Continent, against ' which growers of lucerne are wnrned. ] So far as is known at present, it has ' only been noticed m South Australia. In the Morphettville district of that colony this insect-/ lias alrpjiriy com- pletely destroyed hundreds of acres of lucerne paddocks *h eh were at on. time the mainstay of large numbers of both shep and cattle. Sir Thomas Elder hns had 100 acres eaten out of it, Mr James Bell and other farmers around Morphettville have been equally unfortunate, and the pest is Raid to be spreading very fast. That it. will sooner or later reach Victoria, and probably cross the Murray into the groat lucerne paddocks of New South C Wales (the ' A rgus ' thinks) there can hardly be any doubt. The post is a small black flen. Its special peculiarity U that it jumps backwards, and every time it falls it turns over and jumps back again. A single insect soon forms ~~ a small round ring or bare spot, where \ the lucerne is killed. Ihe insects f 0 multiply by myriads, however, and M soon cover an entire paddock, killing at the herbage to the roots, not merely R f tripping the leaves as the locusts do. ~



NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of Ayers Sarsaparilla. Betid the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia', whose portrait is given above : "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly affected that I feared even to go from one room to another, on account of the strange ob*** L s that appeared to flit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any benefit, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsaparilla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was restored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsaparilla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health. restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses." AVER'S Sarsaparilla With Highest Awards at the World's Oreat Expositions.
