S. B. .LANCASTER'S CLEARING SALE. Attention is drawn to She advertisement relating to Mr. S. It. Lancaster's annual sale of selected and guaranteed dairy stock. Mr. Lancaster, the well-known dairyman, lias made it a praetice'for some years past to hold a dairy sale on a large scale. Here, the dairymen requiring a large herd can fill his requirements, as also can the small farmer secure a few cows, and they may buy with confidence. Mr. Lancaster has long been recognised as an authority on the ideal dairy cow, and his undoubted experience enables him to collect together only those cows which it pays to keep. The advantage to he gained by attending the sale must be apparent to -all in want of Rood cows. As in the past, the sale will be conducted by .Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Ltd., and the date of the sale has been fixed for Wednesday, August 2.
