DONAOHY'S HOPES AND TWINES. Especially in a farming community, the Manufactures of Messrs. Donaghy's Rope and Twine Co., Ltd., Auckland, of binder twine and ropes of every description for all purposes, o.re of interest, particularly to the agricultural farmer using binder twine. This firm is the largest manufac-* Hirer of ropes, lines, and twines of various descriptions in the Southern Hemisphere, and have built up the business of its present size on the question of quality. Their "Eclipse" binder twine is already very well known to the fanner. In this particular article it is specially spun so as to give an especially long footage to the Ib. To do this they have added a big percentage of Manilla hemp, well known for its strength, to increase the breaking strain. In doing this they, therefore, sup-' ply their users with twine that goes further without reducing, in fact, increasing, the breaking strain. Tho fact of their continual growth during tho forty years that thpy have been manufacturing in New Zealand speaks for itself of the results of their endeavours to manufacture, nothing but tho best article at the best price. The very large number of satisfied users is the big recommendation of i-he excellence) of their goods. WITHERS AND RICHARDSON. | Beep Well Borers, Palmerston North. The above firm have achieved wonderful results in the domain of deep weli boring. Their business slogan has always been "if there is water ti. be located, we'll locate it." One cf tho trin's most recent successes was at business premises in i'erguson street, Palmers ton North. Here -i magnificent flow of 240 gallons per minute, or approximately 13,000 gallons per hour, of pure crystal-like water has been obtained at a depth of 270 ft. To the casual observer, the ■work of the well borer is slow and monotonous, but nevertheless very essential, for how many farmers owe their success during t)ie dry summer months to a bounteous supply of water. Deep well,boring is in reality a most interesting occupation, for those skilled in this special work can readily detect the various substances through which the drill passes, although the point of contact may be some hundreds of feet below the surface. That artesian water is much better for all purposes than reservoir water goes : without saying and all those who care to arc welcome to visit the beautiful well under to view, and test the fine quality of the water. Prom a Sin open bore pipe the water rises 18 inches above the opening' and finds its level at a height of 28 feet above the surface. ■ V In conversation with Mr. Richardson, the following very interesting facts wero gleaned concerning this particular boro: "Tho first 12 feet was easy, but from there to a depth, of 140 feet, progress was slow, for we were drilling through a hard semirock formation. From 140 feet to -170 feet we passed through blue sand and clay, then pierced gravel to a depth of 260 feet, at last finding the desired flow at 270 feet, after going through another 10 feet of ejay." It is interesting to note that water was first located at a dpetb of 180 fept with a flow of 50 gallons to the minute, but this was not suitable, so further boring brought to light another subterranean stream at the above-mentioned depth—of 270 feet. This is the biggest flow of water within a radius of ten miles of Palmcrstou North, and great credit is due to Messrs. Withers and Richardson for their achievement. The plant used has been in commission for three months and is tho very latest and best operating in this district. Mr. Richardson is a practical hand at this particular work, and has 20 years' continuous well boring to his credit. He has sunk wells at various times all over the district, and has now to His credit the achievement of locating one of tho finest flows in the Manawatu. farmers, and all others who depend upon so essential a commodity should consult this firm before the dry weather sets in. "If there is water there," they confidently affirm, "wo. guarantee to find it, and harness it so that you get 200 or 2 gallons to the minute, whichever you desire." FLETCHER HALL, Coach and Motor Body Builder, Palmerston North. Hall's coach factory and motor body works; in Fiteherbert street is the oldest established business of its kind in Pal-merston-North, and without any undue flourish of trumpets it is carried on to | the mutual satisfaction of its owner I and its many clients alike. Carriage building and vvheelwrighting is regarded by some as a lost art and a trade that there is lijttle use for nowadays, but that idea could at once be dispelled by- an inspection of Mr. Hall's factory, for the farmer has uot altogether dispensed with the farm dray, gig, and cart, although in many cases cars are utilised for the conveyance of pigs and poultry to the market. Yet the horse-drawn vehicle has its many uses on the farm, and Mr. Hall being a first-class and reliable tradesman, can build .'or repair your cart or build and upholster a motor body in true businesslike fashion. When your car or cart needs attention try him—satisfaction will be yours. J. H.
