IftDl-STRIAL EXHIBITS.

NEWTON KING

Mr Newton King, of New Plymouth, has as usua 1 a very fine exhibit occupying 90 feet of space] in addition to which he has a separate stand showing seeds and roots. His main stand comprises a comprehensive exhibit of all classes of farmers' requirements, but he is featuring, especially, the vyellknown Studebakei car, electrically fitted throughout ,and which for fitment,' finish and horse-powsr, it is contendedj leaves nothing to be desu-ed^ The price complete is £345. The firm also shows their famous six-cylinder Hudson car, a masterpiece in engineering science. The Ridd milking machine, the machine cf. sterling service and life-time satisfaction, is also on exhibition, and an inspection of this machine and well-known plant, is well merited, and it will undoubtedly claim a fair percentage of patronage. For. efficiency and simplicity the latest Ridd-Armstrong pulsator will commend itself to dairy farmers. The unrivalled Lister engine, now so well-known throughout Taranaki, needs no comment. It is being shown on the stand in varying sizes to suit all requirements. A semi-portSt>le Lister sheep-shearing plant will prove of especial interest to owners of small flocks. There were also on view new lines of harvesting machinery procured by Mr Newton King when last in America, and amongst these was the famous Adriance make —a .firm of over 60 years' standing. Their mowers and rakes were shown on the stand, and the exclusive features of these were worthy of_ more than passing notice. The seed and manure department was well represented and specimens of roots grown from Garton's seeds and King's Sterling lua^ nures were magnificent specimens of their kind. Mr Marfell, of Toko, who grew 90 tons to the acre of mangels and Mr Evan Jones, who won the prize for the best crop of sv. edes at the recent Toko Show, with 52 tons to the acre, had specimens of their roots on this stand. MR L. G. GRACE. Mr L. G. Grace's exhibit is situated light opposite the main entrance to the show. There is a very attractive display of British-made pianos, Singer sewing machines, grama-phones, musical instruments, and music. A special feature is made of Britain's leaning piano—the famous Brinsmead. The I stall is under the capable management lof Mrs Grace, who will be pleased to I try over music for clients. THE HUBBARD PATENT MILK CAN AND COOIJER. In the dairy section is to be found an exhibit which' should be of especial mterest xo Taranaki dairy farmers, and' it is tlie stand occupied by the abovenamed firm. The Journal of Agriculture (July, 1914) says: "The battered I condition of many cans, especially I those used for city milk supplies, quite I prevents them being cleanea in a proper manner. The farmer is blamed for defects in condition or flavor of his milk which are sometimes entirely due to his cans being so badly knocked about that the carriage of milk in them in a sanitary state is rendered I impossible. The invention of a can I which will withstand rough treatment —that may be dented and yet will, reI tain a smooth interior surface—is much to be desired. It would appear that just such a can has been invented by an officer of the Department— IMr A. T. P. Hubbard, Inspector of (Stock, Masterton. This can is claimed by the inventor to be able to withstand all reasonable rough handling and yet be unaffected for its purpose: in short, that it may be cmickly and effectively cleansed, that it will last very much longer than the type of can at present in use, and that 'it will retain its true carrying capacity. It is also claimed for the can that it will provide an efficient means of cooling milk without the cost of installing any special cooler, and will, further, provide a means of maintaining milk at a low temperature during transit, which fact will obviate the necessity of standing cans of milk in streams, I water-troughs, etc., during hot wea- ! ther. The main feature of the new | can lies in the fact that is a double | can. VIVIPIO. A r.eatly arranged stall in the main : hall gives a fine display of the medd- ! c-ines prepared by Moore and Co. Pamphlets issued by them testify to the remarkable cures in the case of eczema (in conjunction v.-ith the ointment), constipation, indigestien, and nervous breakdown. The representatives will be glad to give all "information required.
