THE ' NEW ZEALAND FARMER.’ [Published by Arrangement.] Tho ‘ New Zealand Farmer,’ published by the Brett Printing and Publishing Co., Ltd., Auckland, has tho reputation of being one of the finest illustrated agricultural journals in the world, and no show in the dominion would bo complete without a tent occupied by this publication. For over thirty years the ‘ New Zealand Farmer ’ has been first and foremost in the campaign for better farms and better farming in New Zealand. The paper is an out-and-out supporter of the tillers of the soil, and takes every opportunity to improve tho position of agriculturists. In these times of keen competition it behoves the farmer to keep abreast of all the latest developments in his business, and to_ interest himself in every scientific discovery. This journal spares no pains to keep its readers well informed on those matters ; while its informative articles are written by men who are experts in their respective lines. The ‘ New Zealand Farmer ’ stand at the Otago Agricultural and Pastoral Society’s Show is decidedly well arranged, and is worth a visit from all.
