The cows and heifers, which are August and September- calvers, have been bred to stud bulls, and buyers who require really good sorts can. tho auctioneers state, confidently rely on filling their requirements at this fixture. 1 As the vendor is unable to nrocure labour, he has decided to sell the whole offering with the exception of the young cattle and the studs, absolutely without reserve. The sale will bo conducted by Messrs. Dalgety and Co., Ltd., auctioneers, and drags will leave their office, Queen Street, at 11 o'clock on the morning of sale.

In order.to make fairly certain, put your vame on tho list straightway, and your Vat will be delivered in rotation. A. J. Barton, Sheet Steel and Plumbing Works, Pembroke Street, Carterton.—Advt.
