A very Pure Limestone, (Signed) W; Sxby. TESTIMONIALS. To MR E. F. Wbight,

Mount Bomer«. Canterbury, Dear Sir,— ln reply to yours, re lime, I have only used a little, bub the result has been good. I Umed 6 acres last yeaj for barley, that I sowed before without lime. I had to feed off with sheep. What I limed was a good orop. and I consider paid for the lime, and the grass is so muoh better, you oan see to an Inoh where I put It, One of my neighbours had 50 bushels where he limed, and what was not Umed was hardly worth outtlng. Two or three torn I think Is sufficient, but some put more. Any Information you may require I shall be pleated to give,— l remain, Dear Sir, Yours Truly, GODJRBY FOSTBB.

Mount Somers, March 12th, 1889. E. F. Weight, Esq., Dear Sir,— ln reply to your enquiries re lime, on a piece of land In oats this season, I spread 25 cwt to the acre. The difference was very marked. I estimate the increase at 10 bushels per acre, and ezpeot a oubotaptial Increase on portion limed for several years. 1 also limed a strip m a paddock sown with turnips, with about the same quantity of lime per acre, and the difference is even more marked thao m the pleoe sown with oats' —Youra Faithfully, John Hoed

Mount Somers, April 29ih, 1889; To E. F. Wbighx, Eaq Sib;— The land whioh I planted with pothtoea the season before last, and from whlob I did not dig as many potatoes ai I put Into it, was this season planted again with potatoes, after liming it m the spring, and the result was that I got at the rate of four tons to the acre of large and firm potatoes, whioh; when cooked, are like balls of flour, while at the same time the lime has killed all the sorrel.— John Mtjbbay,

Sprlngburn May Ist, 1889. To E. F. Wbiqhx, Ebq, Sib,— ln reply to yours of the 28th I have used your lime on lea land and land for turnips and the result Ii to satisfactory In both oases I will use your lime largely this year. Yeur* Truly, A. M. MoFablane.
