The New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., insert full particulars of the sale to be held on behalf of Mr William Davis, Rongotea. Mr Davis has been dairying n the district a number of years, and has always carefully and systematically culled his herd, with the result that he now has one of the finest lots of cows in the district. The cows are timed to calve early and, as they are nearly all young, they should command the attention of buyers. In all, there will be 100 head offered besides a good 4-year draught mare, some young bulls and picked weaner heifers. The sale starts at 12 o'clock noon, and luncheon will be provided.
