[PUBLISHED BY ARRANGEMENT.] WILSON'S STAR BRAND PORT LAND CEMENT.

The oontfrraed saperiority of Wilsons' Star Brand Portland Cement ia not accidental, but the result of expert ability used in its manufacture, nance the reason for its use on nearly all the more important building operations throughout the length and breadth of New Zealand. Experience and science have perfected this brand and "won and held the confidence of a laige and increasing body of customers. Until the close of 1840 Portland Cement, which is considered by far the most important of the stone cements, and is named from its resemblance to Portland stone, was hardly known, but is use has now extended very greatly in the construction of docks, harbours, bridges, tanks, flooring of cowsheds, yards, watertroughs, culverts, fencing posts, sheep and cattle salt pans, garden rollers,' and many other articles too numerous to mention here, but the greatest care must be exercised in using the best cement procurable, and that is undoubtedly Wilsons', which is guaranteed to pass all standards. Concrete is the greatest friend the farmer ever had. It is revolutionising farm life— elevating it into a" scientific business that is attracting the best class of people to its ranks. Permanent and sanitary floors and yards constructed with Wilsons 1 Cement have done away with a lot of the old time wallowing in mud and mire so inseparable from dairy farming especially. Then with the inevitable increase in the cost of building timber cowsheds, and other outbuildings, Can be so easily and cheaply built with concrete, an d become an everlasting improvement on the farm.
