"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps 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 sach articles of diet thai a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every teudency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keepiug ourselves well fortified wi b pnre blood and a properly nourished frame."-^See article iv the Civil Service Gazette.

(TE KAHURANGI) FINDING- there in a strong feeling to retain the services of Somnus in this Distript, and wishing to use hi ai ourselves to a greater extent than before, t])oPio> prietors have arranged to send tbe son of "The Painter" to Howke's Bay, where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Crossbrede, The Celebrated Thoroughbred' Champion Prize winner, SOMJfUS (sire of Dudu, Foxton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter and a host of other most promising youngsters, some of which will, no doubt, in the com. ing racing season afford additional proof of tbe value of this first class sire) will therefore stand at tbe Proprietors' stud stables, Feildine, this season, commencing Monday, tbe 2ud September. We have stuck to S"mnus, beoause on his size, breeding, performances, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire ''Traducer," and the great " Musket," Somnus 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 trom America, where bis old stable companion and near relation, " Sir Mod red," has attained such a high reputation as. a Sire, and from other parts of the world where the fame of Sotnnus has reached. VVe 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 tbe following scile, viz.:— Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class C, Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hack mares, Five Pounds tcu shillings. Paddocking (if required) 2s per week. Choice mares cau be fed as per agreement. Guarantees as per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares, the property of one owner. Mares left at the Proprietors' Homestead, Foxton, will be forwarded to Feilding free Of COBt. To insure service, early application should be made. The paddocking accommodation is *pe> daily provided for breeding purposes, the wet and dry mares being kept separate in well watered aud sheltered paddocks.
