ALL my rights and interests in the North and South Islands for the Patent Fence lately introduced and manufactured by me as Ashurst, Manawatu, and lady Barkis Southland; together with plant, stock and working material in hand. At Ashurst the plant consists of Bhed, 40x20, with two fence-making machines capable of turning out half-a-mile per day, also circular saw bench for cross-cutting and ripping the pickets. A Lady Barkly there are three fence-making machines capable of turning out three quarts of a mile per day. In both places the stock consists of a large quantity of wire-imported by myself especially for the purpose — with affluctuating amount of made-up fence. The Patents are as follows: No. 3197 for Fence-making Machine, No. 3196 for anlm provomont in Fencing. As the shipping freights prevent competition, tenders will be received for the North or the South Island or the two combined. This is an opportunity rarely to be met with, as the fence is now acknowledged marketable article, and the Patents do not expire until June, 1903. I should be particularly advised to timber companies and sawmillers, who could make what would be otherwise waste timber, and by having a machine at each mill a large amount of freight could be saved. The highest or any tender not necessarily accepted. Tenders close 9th September. Living on consisting of 6 acres of land with a well-built cottage house, huge shed, and other outbuildings; well fenced, good orchard, and a mile from the township of Ashurst. The highest or any tender not necessarily accepted. Tenders close 9th September. SPECIAL NOTICE. The Patent Fence is made in  six wires; it cannot be broken, any concussion being resisted by the spring of the wires; all the wires and slats are so interwoven as to form a spring when drawn tight and properly put up. As the slats can be placed as close together or as far apart as desired, the fence can be made rabbit, fowl, dog, sheep, calf pig, horse or bull proof, in fact can be made to turn any kind of stock. Each bundle contains one chain, and is neatly rolled up ready for transit. In comparing prices, farmers must take into consideration its neatness, its neatness, its durability, its adaptability, and its adaptability for the purpose required. No other fence can compare with it when those several points are properly thought out. AN IMPROVEMENT The only complaint has been with the Turnip Fence; however tight I twisted the wire, the pickets got loose with the constant shifting. This has been remedied, and all the Turnip Fence will in future have the center wire stapled to each picket, making it impossible for the picket to slip. The Wire I use is the very best Galvanized Annealed Steel, especially imported for the purpose. It is very strong, and guaranteed not to break. HINTS ON ERECTING THE FENCE. 1st — When the Bundle is unrolled, one side will be found perfectly level; place that at the top. 2nd— To splice the Fence— Prize the last slat out from the end of the roll, leaving 3 loops; do likewise with the end to be joined — this brings six loops together, slip a slat through the six loops, and the splice is complete. 3rd — Always use the longest and strongest staples to be had. and on no account drive them home; leave room for the wire. 4th— For turnip fence any kind of fastening can be used, but staples are recommended as the best, especially where square stakes are used. Testimonials from the following gentlemen will prove in what estimation the fence is held:— Messrs W. T. Owen, E. A. Campbell, Edward N. Newman, Robert Wilson, G. S. Robertson, Robt. Hair, John W. Peake, I. Forester, Norman A. McLaren, John Cowie, James Blackie, L. De Pelicheb, and many others. AGENTS— F. R. Jackson and Co., "Wangauui."

Translation of letter from Fiji, The Letter of Jonathan to Lord Dunsford "My Friend. — I write to you today to tell you about my illness. I love you much today because of the medicine you gave to me. Three months I was very ill truly, because of my lee; I could not plant yams." I could not go fishing, I could not eat or sleep; but now I am quite well again. It is truly a wonderful medicine. I believe you, Mr. Dunsford, give me one more bottle as the month of boils is near. "Preparation Day (Saturday), Bua Yanua, Levu." Explanation of above Letter. "In Fiji, at certain times of the year, both the European residents and the natives themselves break out in boils, which, if not immediately seen to, not infrequently develop into terrible running sores. At these times I can conscientiously assert that I know of no better medicine than Clarke's Blood Mixture," which I have used with unfailing success both among my white and block neighbors. The enclosed letter from 'Jonathan,' a Christianized Fijian, speaks for itself. For three months he had been almost a cripple, and yet one of your large bottles completely set him up. In ordinary cases, even a less quantity will effect a cure. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, "T. B. Douglas Densford." 46, Leicester Square, London, W. O., May 21, 1892." THOUSANDS OF TESTIMONIALS Clarke's Blood Mixture is sold in bottles at $2.50 each, and in cases, containing six times the quantity, $11.50 — sufficient to effect a permanent cure in the great majority of long-standing cases, by all Chemists and Patent Medicine Vendors throughout the world. Proprietors, This Lincoln and Midland Counties Drug Company, Lincoln, England. Trade Mark— "Blood MIXTURE," CLARKE'S BLOOD MIXTURE. CAUTION Purchasers of Clarke's Blood Mixture should see that they get the genuine article. Worthless imitations are sometimes palmed off by unprincipled vendors.
