THE PUREBRED CLYDESDALE STALLION KING OF QUALITY Will Stand at Owner's Farm. Willowby, and travel Longbeach, Wakanui, Westeriield and Ashburton Forks Districts. Wilt be at Newmans Stablea every SATURDAY. RING OF QUALITY is a dapple bay, rising five years old, bred by Mr R. Gawn, North Taieri. He is a oolt of great substance and power, with many points to recommend him to a breeder, has splendid feet and pisterna, also great bone, clean and flowing with nice silky hair—the true badge of a well bred Clydeada'e. He is a prime mover, has good temper, and sound con stitution. His sire is Lion King, by Brftish Lion, imported by Mr Hugh Rae, from Scotland, by Argyle (2567 vol. vi.), dam Darling by! Prince of Wales, (673, vol. i), grand dam Maggie, by Lockend Champion (448, vol. i). Lion King was first at Dunedin Show as a three-year-old, first at Dunedin m 1894 and 1895, for horse with three of his progeny. Lion King's dam Scotch Annie (imported from Scotland j 343, N.Z.5.8,) waß a mare belonging to an exceedingly favorable strain of blood. She was shown m New Zealand four times, gaining first and champion upon each occasion. Her sire was Ivanhoe 2nd (299, S-C.5.8.); grand sire Ivanhoe Ist (imported ; 113, N.Z.5.8.) He was got by the great Sir Waiter Scott, whose breeding needs nocomment. Lion King's sire, British Lion, is so favorably known as to need no comment. He was considered by competent judges to be one of the best horses ever landed m New Zealand. King of Quality's dam, Queen of Quality, (608, N Z.S B.) show yard career is bo well and favorably known to breeders, that it is needless to go into details; suffice it to say, she has taken 14 first prizes and seven champions; among the others she was champion mare ac the Exhibition Show, Dunedin. This career has stamped her as a mare of unusual excellence; her sire is the far-famed Lord Salisbury, who retired from the show ring an unbeaten horse. Queen of Quality's dam Jess, by Ivanhoe (imp. j 113, 5.8.) King of Quality as a yearling gained first p-ize at Taieri Show, and second at Dunedin, and as a three-year-old first at Taieri and second at Dunedin. Ib will be seen from the above that King of Quality is descended ' from the purest strains of prize-taking ClydeadaSa blood, and cannot fail to make a name for himself as a giro.

PUBLIC NOTICE A VICTIM OF Functional Disease. Al-avum NEVER fails any one m .TVIdAUIU 6Uc h a predicament. To sufferers from Sick Headache, Dyspepsia, Biiiousneßa and Constipation it is "A Mend m need and a friend indeed." Assist Nature by Alaxum, and you will avoid a multitude of distressing functional derangements and diseases. Of all known medicines for renew ing the energy Alaxum is the best* Its secondary effects are marvellous. Many persons afflicted with constipation have testi. fied not only to its immediate relieving properties but to the faot that the cure lasts. No care is required while using it. It does not interfere with the diet, babies or occu pation, and-produces no inconvenience m its action. It is at once a laxative, an appetiser, and a stimulating, tonic, prepared scientifically, and endorsed by the Press as the moat valuable medicine that has ever been offered to to the public m a popular form. ALAXUM. «"»' Biliousness, Bilious Head»ohe, Dizziness, Coativeness, Sour Stomach, Loas of Appetite, Coated Tongue, Indigestion, Dyspepsia, Flatulence, Heartburn, Pains and Distress after Eating, and all functional derangements of the system of nutrition. 3NOXE2 THIS WELL.- The whole system of a human being may be perfectly sound y and yat through derange ment or weakness the organs of the boay may perform their functions or their work sluggishly, thus giving rise to want of appetite, and a consequent general impovei ishment of the whole being. Such [a con dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are really only m need of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Reason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for this purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its irst action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly or? the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting thorn if activity. The system then receives nutri tion and new life from the proper aaaimila tioH of the food; and where there is no organic disease health must follow. This is common sense and cannot be gainsaid. Accept bo substitute that may be recom mended to ba "just as good.' It may be' better — for, the dealer —because of its better profit, but; m such an instance the dealer is not the one who needs help.

Meiboubnm will have the finest abattoirs m Australia when soaiei improvements MELBOURNE'S agreed upon by the ABATTOIRS city health com mittees and estima ted to cost £12,000, are carried out The buildings at present m use for slaughtering purposes at Flemington r are not only too small m capacity, but old fashioned, inconvenient, and defective m their sanitary arrange ments, Some, are'to be removed at | once, others gradually, as the require ments of the trade demand. Those to be retained for the present are the mutton houses. There is to be an entirely new set of buildings for the. killing and hanging of beef. These will be erected m pursuance of a plan for ultimately effecting a complete separation between the two processes of slaughtering bee! and mutton, Eight large killing places are to be added to the 25 already existing; at the abattoirs, and m ventilation, drainage, floorings-—m short, m every respect—the new buildings will be ■uperior to th» old- Through lack of sufficient accommodation m the extßt-1 ing buildings a large quantity of meat Is constantly being removed before it becomes "set," but this is* now to' be provided against, and there will be improved means of collecting the blood by drains under the floors. The blood is desiccated on the premises, and meets with a very ready sale at about £8 10s per ton, having rich fertilising qualities as a manure. The corporation has m view a future concentration at these abattoirs of all the slaughtering done for the butchering trade m and I near Melbourne. This will mean a total abolition of private slaughter houses, as has been done m the large centres of France and Germany for the purpose of ensuring better sanitary supervision and a more certain detec tion of diseased meat.
