Both dealing and grazing require a good deal of judgment to be successful, a quality i by no means invariably possessed by sheep farmers whether large or small. Sheep farming, like everything else, to be profitable must be gone into thoroughly and systematically. ■■*——•» The Stud r Stand at Ardrosß Farm, near Gore, and Travel this Season in the Gore, Pukerau, Ohatton, Waikaka, Otama, Biversdale, Balfour and Surrounding Distriots, , The Purebred Clydesdale Stallion, BOTHWELL, Bred by the Hon, Matthew Holmes, Awamoa, Oamaru. i.
