It does the work in a quarter of the time at a quarter of the. cost of the present system, and will produce 21 per cent extra yield from- the same".kind of ground. Tho Governments in •various parts of the. world are treating the Tiller as a national proposition. Mr ■). U. Clarksoti, as managing director of Hope Gibbons and Sons, and J. B.

An e'slnbit of grout interest at ihe New Zealand llofrigera,tuig C'o.'s stand is the display of fertilisers manufactured at their lmlay freezing works, Wanganui. The "Eclipse'' brand. is a speciality thai has proved its money making possibilities, for the man on the land. It drew a considerable amount of attention, and many farmers displayed much interest therein. These high-class fertilisers are specially prepared to suit all classes of soil, and the proof of the popularity of tin brand is forthcoming in the rapidly growing sal,-, which the 'Eclipse" fertilisers are now commanding in the North Island. The sale of their fertilisers in the South Island run into thousands ft ions per annum', and thopreaent growing demand in the North Island bids fair to come up closely to the Southern output. "Eclipse"' fertilisers are not produced haphazard on rule of thumb met hods,. but .are based on an experience of the requirements of tho soil collected during years.of. experiment and practical experience, The company employ., iii its analytical department several highly qualified chemists, whose services are always available in fanners to analyse sample., of soil, and this work is done free of charge. Quite a not-able feature of recent years has been the steady increase in ihe number of samples forwarded by farmers for analysis, which affords proof of the practical value of the work which is being clone. . VIVIFIC HERBAL BLOOD TONIC. Many visitors to the Show have been interested in tiie display, exhibited by the "Yivilie Tonic" manufacturers. This tonic and ointment have conic as a sure euro for the sad physical'conditions under which so many human beings drag out a painful existence. The effect of the medicine, which is recommended by doctors .for eczema, skin diseases, acute indigestion, constipation and nervous breakdowns, is stated to be simply marvellous The display at the Showgrounds is literally showered with testimonials received from gratified patients. "The story of tin's great remedy is simple." Mrs "MT Moore, of Ilawera, was a sufierer from eczema in a most acute form, and her life was even given up by doctor-. \s a last hope the invalid lady tried a home recipe--oue that she prepared herself—and after taking twelve bottles she became completely cured. This encouraged .Mrs Moore to place upon the market thai very tonic to which she owes her life, ami in an incredibly short space of time the 'demand for,-Yivilie increased to such an extent that it became necessary to form a company to control the. business, and this gave rise to the Moore Yivilie ('".. Ltd.. with a capital of £4500, increased I" £IO,OOO by the issue of 5500 £1 G percent non-cumulative preference shares, entitling the holders to receive out of the profits of tho compam avidablc lor :b\ ldeiids, before any other class of shareholder, a dividend of ii per cent per annum, and entitling them, after the holders of tie; now existing shares receive a similar dividend, lo participate rateably in all other dividends. With the object of carrying on the business a- merchants and wholesale and retail sellers of the "Yivilie" preparations, ointment and soap, throughout New Zealand and elsewhere, the company has been formed, and already some very large order- have been sent, and the latest advice from th" wholesale houses is thai there is a steadily increasing demand for Yivilie remedies. ' The object of placing the shares over an extensive area that each shareholder will individually act as an advertising medium. At the Showgrounds, Mrs Moore's story has been eagerly read by many, and those who are troubled with any form of eczema, or any of the above-named ailments, are urged to ask tor information in connection,.with the Yivilie remedies. Mrs Moore herself will gladly -furnish particulars upon reipiest, and there can be no doubt that, the "Yivilie" appearance at the Show will be remembered by visitors as a pleasant recollection. A glance ai tho lengthy libl sceptical that the "Yivilie Tonic" and remedies have supplied a much-needed want. OAKLAND CARS. One of the finest displays of motor-cars ever exhibited at the Manawatu Show is that of the Oakland "Sensible Six"' for which the Watt Motor Co., Ltd., arc the agents. Every part of these cars will bear the closest inspection, from the wheels to the upholstering, and special efforts of the makers have been made regarding the springing of this new model Oakland, as the rear springs are not less than 51 inches long, tlius giving its passengers overv possible comfort when (Iriving over rough roads. The Oakland is called "The Sensible Six" because_ its light- weight means economical running, and yet, it is a big, powerful, easy-riding car. strongly built for hardest service. Its valve-m-bcad motor delivers full 41 h.p. at 2500 r.p.m one h.p. for everv 53 lbs of car .weight, more, actual power and more proportionate power than any other car of its size. it. appeals to Ihe common sense ol oversowner and satisfies his desire for a good investment. It gives him power, eomlort, performance, and distinctive style at a cost which his good judgment tells him is a sensible price. The hood, side curtains etc , with the Oakland arc, like the finish of tho body work, all completed-by the Oakland-Motor Co., and do not requite anv alteration in the way vi being speciallv "-01. up for show purposes. Laking the, exhibit right through, it is the most attractive one ever shown al tho local .show, and it is no wonder the agents find it very hard to secure enough cars to deliver to its clients. DODGE BEOS.' CARS. The visitor to the Showgrounds cannot, fail to notice the familial: sign of Waller Turner. Ltd., local agents tor the famous "Dodge" motor cars So popula.i has -thto ear become, ... much has the demand increased for a car that combines to many rrood features at such a moderate price as the "Dodge," that during the past }'l months the firm has built and delivered considerably over £8,000.000 worth ol curs. Ihe car ha.- now reached the sl-ago when'its sales are almost automatically increased: that is to say, that one sale is almost certain to rctult in one or two other sales for people have now arrived at tlie conclusion the Dodgo Bros, give the- manufacture of the. car an unusual degree of personal attention, and that the car 1* thorough satisfactory, right down to the smallest detail. The linn has concentrated on one car. and one car only, in a determination to make ii as good a car as ear, be made for this reason, the Dodge, iiros. are the actual active superintendents, engineers, etc.. of this business. For every part and everv process in connection with the building of a car. they have personally established a standard, and all work executed, as well as the materials used in each part, must- conform to that standard. The demand has continued to increase daily and weekly, and still increases, and the linn can scarcely keep pace with it. One bus only to lis'ten to the remarks, passed by those who posse.-s a Dodge, to lie convinced of it>, economy, its cost of maintenance being practically nil in thousands of cases, that it consume- an unusually small amount ol gasoline and oil, and seldom are people heard to "talk of the price of a "Dodge," but thev are often heard to talk about ihe kind of car it is. It is remarkable that people generally know all about a "Dodge" before they call on a dealer. They know why they want the car, they pick out the, very points that have not been emphasised, especially in advertising; they have known llicse matters from either their own experience, or from what other people have told them. In thi.-, way a circle of good-will that, never stops growing, begins in a home where a "Dodge" is installed. The circle spreads, takes in a neighbour, the hitter's home, in turn, begins lo radiate good-will towards Dodge Bros., and on it goes growing wider and wider, till it takes in the entire country. The name of Dodge stands out as a guarantee of quality, and because of the name it bears, the owner may be sure that the principle behind the car will never be changed. The idea is to build so soundly and so well thai the good-will which has already been won by Dodge Bros, will grow and endure forever. Any information will gladly be supplied b,V tho local representa- ; lives at the Showgrounds, anil fanners and I others are urged to make a point of inspecting those beautiioU;,- up-to-date
