Ashburton Stock Market.

The s^e at ABhburton Yards to-day wa» one of the slowest recorded for many weeks pisb. There was a small attendance of farmers, and buyers were hari to fiurf (as far an store sheep were concerned.)

At the yards to-day Mr D. Thomas paid a high compliment to the postmaster, Major 8t George Douglas, who is shortly leaving Aehhurtcn, and expressed the wish that aM who could do bo would attend the meeting this afternoon convened for the purpose of raising a testimonial l<> be presented to him as a souvenir of his twenty-one years' resi dence ia this town. The weather prophets predict that the long fine dry spell which we have had will be followed by a very wet and severe winter. The one thing needful for protection against the elements of such a winter is a really good reliable waterproof coat or cloak. We are assured that Messrs Craighead and Berryman have become famous for their well known brand of winter clothing, which baa hitherto given such satisfaction, and in anticipation of a still larger sale for these goods, this season they are now showing probably the largest stock of waterproof tweed, serge, and melton overcoats ever exhibited in Ashburton. They are also supplying ladies' and gentlemen's water proof cloaks and coats to measure at ready made prices. Every garment guaranteed thoroughly waterproof.

WALKER'S BOT-FLY REMEDY.

Chertsey, January 15, 1895 To Mr Heseltine, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, Ashburton Pib, ~I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous effects of the remedies I got from you on my horse He got so bad that I had to lay him up INo matter what I gave him' he kept losing condition and became so weak thai he could scarcely stand 1 carefully followed the directions on the bottles and shortly after getting the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for his work lam confident only for the remedy he would have died I can highly recommend it, believing it has no equal William Stbingfellow

Lauriston, August 18, 1894 Mr Heseltine, Sir,—l think it is only right that I should tell you and my neigh boring farmers that I am thoroughly satis fied with Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horse that died, I became alarmed about the rest of my stock as they ' all looked bad I drenched eight, following carefully the directions It cleaned them oat thoroughly and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it, and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenching their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had I believe it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of hoi sea James Lhmojc

Ashburfcon Forks, March 1, 1894 Mr J H'.seltine, Sir,—l am very gad to tell you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse He was ailing for some days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a runn ing at the nose, and a very bad cough ; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quite expectet he would die I heard a good deal about Walker's Bot-fly Remedies, and gave it with the most satisfactory i eg"lts, and shortly after he got the last bottle he began to improve and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well 1 believe it to be a medicine unequalled, and can recom mend it with all horse owners as the best horse remedy in the market Edward Cobbitt

Greenwood Farm Southbridge, August 2, 1892 Mr Walker, Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot-fly Remedies One of my best horses became very bad ; the skin tight, the eye lifeless and a bad color, and got low in condition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until he became unable to lift his feet or do any more We had to holp him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and the treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and now at his work hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him yowr Remedies he would have died You can use this ac you please Robert Thompson

Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker, Dear Sir, —I have great p ea sure in informing you that the bot-fly mix ture I got from Mr Heseltine, your agent, was a wonderful success I had four horsea seriously ill on December laet After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture The result was marvellous, I strictly followed the directions given and in a week the horses were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched too more in February wiih the same result They all pub on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P Stewart

Chertsey, April 12, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Ashburton, Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Remedies Sir, —The remedies I got from you had a wonderful effect en my horse, he got so bad that I had to lay him up quite expecting to lose him I tried the usual remedies but) he only got worse At last I gave him Walker's with astonishing results Bots came away in handfuls, and in a few days he was hearty and well From the effects of this remedy on my neighbors' horses and on my own I con sider it a blessing to horse owners and could the poor suffering horses speak they would certainly praise Walker's Bot-fly Remedies as the best ever introduced into this market John Downie

Anama, April 3, 1895 Mr Heseltine, Sir, —I have pleasure in testifying to the wonderful effects of Walker's Bot-fly Remedies on my horses They got very low in condition, a dry coat, and very tight skin, and lost all heart at their work I had to lay them up Hearing so much about this remedy I decided to give it a trial I followed carefully the directions on the label and the results were such as to satisfy me that it is i he only remedy for the suffering horse lam certain I got back the cost in their work inside a week I shall certainly use it in future in preference to anything else as it has no equal i J M Twkedie
