SPECIAL SHOW DISPLAY

MESSRS. DALGETY AND COMPANY. THE VIRTUES QF KEEOL. Dalgety and Co. had a display at Mastertoii Snow, all of which wus of interest to farmers and some Of which was of very great interest and considerable importance to the general public. One of. the lines of general interest is Kerol, the great disinfectant and antiBeptic. In an interesting booklet on Kerol, the well-known firm of Quibell Bros., Ltd.. address the following note to the medical profession :—"The many uses both external and internal to which a' really efficient and at the eame time a non-toxio germicide can be put in these days of bacteriological certainty make the knowledge of such a germicide a veritable boon to the medical, profession. The general and enthusiastic adoption of Kerol for many purposes by those members of the profession to whose notice it has been brounht, has, encouraged us to endeavour to extend this knowledge through legitimate channels by compiling this little booklet, for circulation among registered practitioners only, in which we point out a few of the ways in which Kerol is.'.'of use, and also give definite results obtained with it, both clinically and as the result of bacteriological experiments."

After reading the excellent results obtained in cases of colitis due to various organisms, one cannot wonder at hearing excellent reports of its effect in the small intestine in cases of typhoid fever and other forms of enteritis due to microbic infection. The admiuistration of Kerol capsule's in these cases does undoubtedly lessen the "typhoid content" of the bowel just as it diminishes the "coli content," and besides destroying large numbers of the B. typhosus, or other infecting organism, the virulence and power of multiplication of the remainder -are greatly restricted. The exhibition of Kerol capsules in these cases is particularly, indicated in the earliest i-taees of typhoid fever, while the Peyer's patches and follicles of the small intestine are becoming swollen and inflamed from the infection,'' and again in the very latest stages when the ulcers have healed but the temperature, as so oftsn happens, refuses to come down showing that septic absorption is still taking place from the bowel. From tho public health point of view, it is easy to see the great importance of thorough disinfection both during the after cases of typhoid, dysentsry, and cholera, as such disinfection of the bowel lessens the chances of a patient or his attendants becoming carriers and spreading the disease either after convalescence is complete, or without having ever shown any symptoms of the presence of the bacilli or amoebae in their intestines. For such external disinfection as the clothes, and the hands of nurses and attendants, Kerol is particularly useful as it is both oxtromely efficacious, noTi-irrit.it-injr to the skin, and does not stain the bed clothes, etc.

Kerol is excellent for external as well as internal use, and in concluding his /article in the "Pharmaceutical Journal," Julj 28, 1908, rofessor Hewlett draws attention to the efficiency of Kerol, the stability and fineness of its emulsion, and especially its pleasantness in use for the disinfection of hands, etc. Kerol is the housewife's greatest weapon in fighting dirt and disease. Its regular use keeps the home sweet and clean—free from infection and a plague of flies. It is equally* efficient in theatres, clubs, schools, churches, military camps, hotels, factories, shops and offices—nil streets, farms, ships, tran|-cars and railway trains. Everywhere it safeguards public health. It is a practical insurance asainst epidemics and sickness. Tt has :been adopted by Government Departments-, municipalities, hospitals, harbour and leading commercial firms. Also on Dalgety's stand were QuibelPs dips, Wolseley electric lighting plants, Wolselev cream separators, 'Wolselcv pheep shearing machinery, and Sutton's grass seeds.—(Published by Arrangement.)

THE FARMER,

ARE YOU INTERESTED IN WHIT IS BEINGTDONE IN "SAMSON" TRATITOKB? Wβ took up the Agency iii October, rather late in the year you will admit, but here is the result in our territory:—

We havo-sold ELEVEN MACHINES, two Machines are in actual work (Mr. W. Earner, "The Cliffs," Masterton; and Mr. Hugh Campbell, "Bridalbane," Haveloclc North). Four more starting this month.

These Machines are doing real good work; iii fact, Mr. Eayner's machine has made it possible to work right ahead through the ihy .spell when hardly anyone in the Wairarapa has been able to plough owing to the hard ground. In New Zealand there were i'i machines in actual operation up to Christ.mas, and ere this there' will be between 70 and 90.

Are you hesitating because you think the upkeep will be heavy? If you arc just think of this. Nearly every Carrying Company of standing is using Motor Lorries, do you think they. would layout this money if it was not a good proposition? Now the '/Samson" has the same type of Engine, and will probably only run 3 to 4 months in the year oii your farm, and will not have nearly the rough handling that a motor lorry gets, but our machine is steel throughout. Can't you figure out that it is going to be a good proposition for you, when you have our absolute guarantee to work at one-third of the team work "cost"?

Ask our representative to view your farm, it may give you more confidence.

Five machines were sold at tho demonstration at Hastings a fortnight ago.

Adam Burgess, "Samson" Sieve-Grip Agent, Box 164, Palmerston North.

Mr. Livingstone, Messrs. Adam Sin , -' gess's representative, will be in attendance at the Kara Fair on Mastorton Showground to-day and to-morrow.

Farmers should accopt this opportunity of inspecting the "Tractor."—(Published by arrangement.)

WATER DIVINING

Itis recognised that water must be one of tho greatest commercial powers and agricultural aesets of tho future. Many big undertakings and many farmers would use water in preference to other power if they had it available in sufficient quantity. Surface'rivers are not always present, but in their absence there are frequently underground streams possible of utilisation. It is in discovering these under-world waters, and in locating the proper place to bore, that the genuine water diviner ie of immense value. A small demonstration of water divining was given The Dominion representatives at the Mastorton Show yesterday by Mr. C. Clark, of the firm of Sutcliffe and Mason. Tho gift of water divining is very etrange and perplexing, but Mr. Clark claims that the power has never failed him. In addition to the j?ift, a great deal of practical knowledge is DEcessary. Mr. Clark has undertaken to find underground water in New Zealand on many important occasions, and his services have proved to be of high value to those who have placed their confidence in him. Recently ho made a big success in securing wnter lor Mr, G, \, f Stead,

the well-known Canterbury settler, and his services wero utilised in tho effort which had to bo made to arrive at tho reason for the diminution of water in Lake Takapiina, an important watersupply source. Tho Wellington Gas Company is among the big concerns which have taken advantage of the ability of Mr. Clark to find water, and in the Wairarapa his services have been availed of by many farmers, For the next few weeks Mr. Clark will be. in Masterton and communications addressed to the post office -will find him, Hie permanent address is "The Bungalow," Symonds Street, Auekland.-lPublished by Arrangement.) A, ROBINSON AND SONS' NURSERIES. Messrs. A. Eobinson and Sons, the Maeterton nurserymen, made an attractive and varied display at Masterton Show, and the public evinced considerable interest in it. Among the finest things on their stall were somo of the choicest begonias imaginable. They included some very fine specimens of new hanging-basket begonias called Pluer de Chrysantha.- Another special line comprised geraniums, of which flower the firm claims to have tho finest collootion in New Zealand. There wero also some excellent samples of fruit. For many ' years the firm has carried on business as nurserymen in Villa. Street, Masterton. About five yeare ago they decided to launch out in a more extensive way, and purchased a property' in Nursery lioad, comprising 6omo five acres of first-class land. This property, which is situated about two and a half miles from the post offioe, is used aa a tree and shrub nursery, but during the planting season the firm hold stocks of all trees at their Villa Street premises, whence all goods are dispatched. Tho Nursery Eoad property is ideally situated for the purpose to which it has been put, lying beautifully to the sun. The grounds are being artistically laid out, and a nice winding oreek adds to the natural beauty of the nursery. The greatest care is taken with the stock raised, and the lifetime experience of Mr. A.. Pobinson, sen., is a guarantee to the public that only the best of % trees and plants are handled. ■/Having their own orchard is a great adyantago to the firm, as they have practical demonstration each year as to the, best bearing stock. Orders sent bv post will bo, carefully selected and promptly dispatched, while orders given by telephone will receive prompt attention. A catalpiqje 2Hay be had on application.—(Published by Arrangement.)

THOMAS HORTON, LTD., NURSERY MEN,

An interesting display of nursery stock was made at tho Masterton Show. The Horton firm is recognised as one of the best nursery, establishments in t'lie Dominion, and it is in the interests of tho public to keep the firm in mind. At Masterton the exhibit of" fruit was tho finest on the ground. The collection of apples comprised all tho leading varieties, including:—Sturmer Pippin, Jonathan, Cox's Orange Pippin, Munro's Favourito. and Delicious. Besides the leading lines, there ivas a number of new and rare kinds, including Charles Ross, Gravonetein, Eouge, Grand Duke, and Cockle Pippin.

The roses vero well worthy of tho attention of any grower or lover of the queen of flowers. There were many kinds on tho stall, amongst them quite a number of Dickson's latest novelties. The stall also carried a fino collection of other beautiful flowers and plants. A lino which attracted a good deal of attention Was Horton'e Champion Rhubarb, which has now become world famous. It is a variety which never runs to seed, and never gets stringy. It grows very large, is exceedingly attractive, and of tho richest quality. One of ; its chief features is that it can he grown well without manure. Some very nice specimens of Black Hamburg graces were exhibited. The whole or the fruit and flowers shown were grown nt the firm's Pahiatna Nursery, and prove what can bo done in a climate that is sometimes regarded as rather severe. The firm's main nursery, of rourse, is nt Hastings. A big display will be. wade at the Hawke's Bay Show the week after next, and at the forthcoming patriotic National Apple Show in Dunedin the firm intends to make tho most- comprehensive displny of fruit that it line ever staged.—-(Published by arrangement.) ■>

EXHIBIT OF S. M. BAIRD, LTD.

Fijitrinpr largely amongst the trades exhibits was the display of S. 3f. Baird, Ltd., of Mnsterton. As usual this enterprising firm's display was most compre-. hensive, and included in the lnnin the latest models, of the Jeffery Coy. In •commercial Tehicles, a two-three ton Jeffery "Quad" motor lorry was ehovw. This is n powerful machine, driving and steering on all four wheels, and it is claimed for it that it will go anywhere that a horse can'go. A number of these trucks are beiig used at the front as armoured cars, and have proved their usefulness. A 15-20cwt. Jeffery truck, mounted on pneumatic tires, was ako shown. The Jeffery seven-seater touring car also 'attracted a good deal of attention. The Oakland agency was represented by a light six-cylinder equipped with an engine of the overhead valve type. Both these cars are luxuriously finished, and fitted with self-starters and electrically lighted.

The display generally was an excellent one, and attracted a vast amount of interest.*
