THE AUSTRAL KEROSENE ENGINE

(Published by Arrangement.) Dairy farmers and others should not miss the opportunity of inspecting the Austral Kerosene Engine, which is being exhibited by the Fanners' Co-op., Ltd., who are the local agents. This [ engine starts on benzine and when sufficiently heated is turned over to Kerosene, is a straight-out kerosene proposition, and the absence of carbonising and becoming dirty is one of its features. The benzine is used only when starting, and the engine being fitted with one- of the best British magnetos makes it possible for any boy or girl from 10 to 12 years of age to start with the greatest ease. The manufacturers of Austral kerosene engines—which are made in sizes from 3-h.p. to 35-h.p., are Messrs RonaMson Bros, and Tippett, Ltd., of Ballarat, Victoria, the largest makers of kerosene engines in the southern hemi-. ! sphere, and the wonderful demand for j their engines, in Australia by farmers and dairymen, and the fact that the Commonwealth Government and various State Governments have ms-talled no less than £30,000 worth of Austral engines for all departments <\f Service, including lighthouses, goes. ± o prove the superiority of Austra\ engines. I One of the principal^ o f the firm, Mr. D. Ronaldson, is at present visit ing all parts of New Zealand, and wil be at the show. Vo demonstrate the extreme simplicity and high value o< their engines. I n chatting to Mr Itonaidson^ Vie figures that there is a: . great a tntu.re for the Austral in Nev

ZnM\]imd as at present exists in A-us | L:Slia y for the reasons thaf, in add j tiou to showing a saving to the tiair . farmer of from £10 to £15 per se.-.si.; in cost pf fuel, it will, with reason able care, Jast a man a lifetime with out any cost to speak of. These fact should very soon tell their own tale. Mr. H. G. Pinel, machinery expen for the Farmers' Co-op., who is handling this line, will be pleased to disI cuss cheap reliable power with an> j prospective buyer, and wishes to statt that all engines installed will be erected by mechanics under the direct supervision of a qualified engineer from the works in Victoria to ensure entire satisfaction to all concerned.
