CHRONOMETERS.
Wi-iv the Government are perpetually hoisting signals for the rating of chronometers is a thing " no fellah can understand." When ships' captains begin to recognise that they can trust their Waterbnrys, no doubt a great deal of successful navigation will be carried on by their aid. The Waterbury is rated to record correct time. Any other variety, whether sidereal, mean, or Greenwich, can be arranged for if desired. One of these watches set to time at midnight on tho 51 st of December and wound regularly will, when the new year is as dead as the old one, still record, the flight of time with the same unerring accuracy as at the start. Thirteen and sixpence is well spent in one of these watches.
Mr T. Pearson Moody,. M.E., writes under date January 25th:—"I regard the ' New Zealand Farmer' as being par excellence, the best agricultural paper in Australasia, and I shall in tho future, as I have endeavoured in the past to do all I can to recommend it, and promote its'cir* culation. You have done well, and deserve
every success.
