I "By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful applicution of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr JEpps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet thai a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of, subtle maladies are floating around us rpady to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may esctpe many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified wi b pure blood and a properly nourished frame." — See article iv the Civil Service Gazette.

(TE KAHURANQI) T7IINDING there is a strong feeling to X? retain the services of Somnus iv this District, and wishing to use him ouraelvea to a greater extent than before, <h«Pto> prietors have arranged to send the son of "The Painter" to Howke's Bay. where he will serve at a fee of Snven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Cross* bred 8. The Celebrated Thnroughhred'Champion Piize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudu, Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter and a | host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, do doubt, in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first olass sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feilding, this season, oommenoiDg Monday, the 2ud September. We have stuck to S mnus, because ou bis size, breediup, pe>form&nces, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse ; aud we have no doubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire ''Traducer," and the great " Musket," Somnuß inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but from America, where his old stable companion and near relation, '" Sir Modred," has attained such a high reputation aaja Sire, aud from other parts of the world where the fame of Somuias has reached. We did intend to charge a fee of Ten Guineas all round this season, but from representations made by some of our friends that they were unable to pay so much for Hack mares, we have decided to reduce the fee ou the following scale, viz.:— Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class C, Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hick mares, Five Pounds tun ahilliugs. Part docking (if required) 2* per week. Choice mares can be fed as per agreement. Guarantees as per agreement. Allowauce made for two or more raaros, the property of one owner. Mares left at the Pioprietors' Homestead, Foxton, will Le forwarded to Feilding free of coat. To insure service, early application should be made. The paddocking accommodation is ape. cially provided for breeding purposes, the wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered aud sheltered paddocks. Owners sending ninres in foal can rely upon the ureaiesi-. ponMl> ! e care being taken at foaling time, uud proper time of service.
