A BIG SECOND DAY ATTENDANCE THE HALLS CROWDED WITH SIGHT-SEEM FOOTBALL MATCH OF THE SEASON

Show visitors woke to a dismal ontlook yesterday, heavy rain fal'ing during the morning. Towards noon, however, the clouds rolled away and the sun shong pleasantly ou the huge crowd which assemblod on the Showgrounds iu the afternoon. A feature of yesterday's proceedings was the poultry show, the judging cf which took plaoe in the morning. All the halls with their attractively arrauged exhibits drew big . crowds, and the cutting up of the leviathan obsess aho received much attention. The side shows, including the laugh-ins gallery, and the merry-go-round, all did good busiuess. . The principal attraction outside were the two fuotMl matohes betweon Te Aute Maori College and Wanganui OolUgiats Sohool (<eaior andjuaior). The senior match was intensely exciting in its late' stages and the crowd, which completely filled the big stind, grew wild with enthusiasm as the fortunes of eaoh team rose and waned, onlminating in ijerrifio cheering and fnntlo waving of hats and sticks as tho Wanganui boys pulled the game out of the fire at the eleventh hour. THE HOME INDUSTRIES. Yesterday we published the prizelist in the home iuriustries section, but space forbade comment thereon. The exhibits in this fascinating division occupy one side of the produce hall. The judge of this seotion was Mr W. S. Dustin, and his comment waa "by far the test oolleotion I have seen' at a Winter Show." Bread and scones Mr Dustin considers particularly good, and, pastry was also good though Borne entries had been spoilt by being cooked in an oven at the wrong temperature. The mistake made in the cake exhibits was that too many eggs had been used, and this spoilt the oons'steuoy of the entries, and caused the fruit to be unevenly distributed. The entries of the prize takers iu home-made wines were first rate, but jams, preserves and pickles could cot be judged by outside appearances as iu some oases an apparently perfeot exhibit on being opened proved to contain aoids and fermentation. Mr Dustin favours open classes being introduced into the sohednle to enable professional bakers to compete with a view to providing opportunity for comparisons, whioh wouU be instructive to housewives. JUDGING COMPETITION. The following is tho result of the judging competition, the prizes for whioh were :-Wyandotte Dairymen's Cleanser: special trophy valued at £lO 10°, to be won three times, with a special of £2 2s, to the final winner ; seoond and third trophic presented by the N.Z.

Robinson, Rangiwahia; W. W. Forsyth, Riverdale ; M, Hansen, Tararua. THE GANE MILKING MACHINE. The demonstrations on the Gane MilluDS Maohine ft aud were kept extremely busy yesterday explaining the mechanism. The phnt oonsists of a tteady running CroEsley engine working a horiznutil Gane patent vaouum pump. Tho pomp is silent and very smooth working, and' it operates ou a large vaooura tank which is concerted with tho puis*tors, and the tubes. A new patent in the teat holders inserts strips of vuloanite into the robber.The patent effects a quick release so that the teat may till again, and permit cf lapid milking. Then there is a self 'adjusting pair of milk reoeivfrs, that fill empty automatically. Order* wre bjing received tor milkers yesterday and a list at the stand shows that 44 separata phuta representing 144 cow plants have been installed already this Sanson. Full particulars are available at the stand. A Great Industry. THE DUNLOP RUBBER COMPANY. At various of the Show stands rubber goods are shown ns a part nf milking aud other outfits. Especially is this tho case with tue teat cup rnbberß. These are the production of tho Duulop Rubber Company of Auftnlesia, which has New Zealand establishments at Wellington, and Ohristchurch, The lush surgeon who tied a nbber bag ou in tt ifcieud's bicycle tyre probably little thought what his invention would lead to. Without it the vogue ot: the bioyole and the motor oar would j have been impossible, and Dr Dunlop's idea lias now beeu developed 111 directions undreamt ot. Tho (inn, whese Kial representative is Mr H. J. Jeraifson, of Foatiierstoni street, has an euormons ruhber business, but to the dairyman tho milking maohine requisites are of tho fjreatfst importance. With t':ie company's contributions to Hie motor and cycle world in organising aud running races and tests wo are all familiar.

Dominion Milking Machines As all farmers no doubt an aware tlio sole agency for this district for the Dominion Milkiug Maohines is held by Barraud aud Abraham, Ltd., and they aro making a very oomplete display of the maohiues shown in workiug condition fitted into the oowbails at their wnrehonsa in Rangitikel street. Mr Northoott and Mr Kerr, both milking maohiue experts, are iu attendance to explain the many advantages of the Dominion Pressnra Milkers. The warehouse in Kaugitikei street will be open frr two honrs this morning from uiue tj eleven find will be open all day Fri-1 day and Saturday. Buyers of milking maohiues would do well tq call and inspeot the "Dominion" before purchasing. Ncrthcott's Patent Releaser is also shown in operation with the Dominion machines. This releaser has many striking advantages. It is easily oleaned. The milk from each oow is registered in gallons on a dial. It is. simple iu its action. No complicated parts. Farmers are all oordiallF invited to oall and inspeot, Messrs Barraud and Abraham are this year showing on their stand iu tbe machinery ball a number of maohiues of speoial interest to dairy farmers and users of up-to-date farm niaohinery. A six inoh Eriosson hot air pumping engine is shown pumping 800 gallons Df water an hour into a tank alongside. The motive power of these pumps is simply hot air generated by means of a small fire oomposed of ohips of wood coal, coke, or any handy fuel-the oost of running is practically nil and the initial ontlay is not a very serious item. Anyone in need of a good water pump should call and inspect. "Roko" belting occupies a piominent plaoe in the exhibit, our reoorter was informed that the sales of this well known belt has been increasing in leaps and bounds during the paßt two years. • A very large stook of "Koko" ranging in widths from one inch to twelve indies is always kept on hind and anyone in searoti of a good belt would do well to give "Roko" a trial. Besides "Roko" belting and the Krioßßon hot air pump a very extensive line of potato sprayers suitable for. hand or power are on view. Barford and Perkins steamei for farm nse and Andrews and Beaven's Al seed oleauer complete a very interesting exhibit, A Good Smoke. FOR SHOW VISITORS. Show visitors are showing an increasing determination to secure Winfred cigarettes. These "smokes" have uro p bd themselves bo very good that those who have once tried them become regular nsere, and they have speedily become a vogue here, With them the same principals are handling'other specially good lines in State Express oigarettes, and cigarette tobucoo,. and the well-kuown Ardath Cabinet oigars and Ardath smoking mixture. These are all of purely English make and will form the fashionable Coronation smoke. The makers guarantee them to be absolutely free from deletions matter and made of the best tobaooos, Tbe Ardath oigarettes are done up in cartons and sold at the normal prioe of ten for sixpence. A Busy Corner, THE MEOOA OF MOTORISTS. A prominent figure in the motor world on this is Mr W. Mason Bayly. He not only qualified himself here but he went to Europe and America to learn all he oould about cars, and the making and handling cf tnem, and had the interesting experience of driving on the famous speed traoks with the mott famous racing motorists. While iu Europe he made arrangements with the makers of the Wolseloy-Siddeley oars, which have made so great a reputation for silence, durability, and smooth ruuniug for the district ageuoy of their oars, and he has sold quite a number of them sinoe. The laßfc sale was of a 10-20 I), p. to Mr W. 0. Buchanan, M.P., yesterday. It is a red oar fitted with a flushsided torpedo body, Oapi oart hood, Kushmore headlights, side aud tail lamps, etc., and Rudge-Whitworth wire wheels. Another 1911 model of this make on hand is a creamoolonred 13-1G b.p., fitted with a standard side entrance body, high side doors to frjnt Beats, Oape oart liood,glass wind screen, speodometer, head lamps, etc. Another sale effected by Mr Bayly the other day wbs ror a Silent Knight Daemler machine, of whioh he is also ageut. -Mr Bayly's garago is one cf the busitst spots in Palratrston just now. It is in King street, off Rangitikei ttreer, and tlierß is a const irit stream of visitors to talk over motor matters, buy uew cars cr get thoir old one's put light. Mr Dayly has a 12-16 Wolseley, Si'ldolsy oar, torpedo body, on exhibition at the Show. Formalin and the Dairy Industry " One of the mesfc raniarkable of all tlio germicides and antiseptics is lortuulin. Of late its value is beginniug to be generally recognised in the dairyiug industry both iu the factory aud ou the form, whftherfor abortiug cows or affected batter. The Agricultural Gazette of New South Wal<s recently de«lt with the danger'to factory atmosphere becoming tainted, or when mould growth or mould sneds drop ou the butter or butter paper, and injures the butter. A spraying with formalin will Sit the factory tight. The N.Z. Dairyman also quot'd American authorities thowiug the great value of formalin, oue nart to 4000 parts ot milk iu pieveutiug the development of

bacteria, and also of scour in calves. The "Sickle" brand of formalin, of whioh Messrs Hodder and Tolley, Kaugifcifeei Uiraet, Palinorstoi- N., are ttio lccal agent?, is a world's famous brand, and auy i'iimeis who wiitß to them will gtf full particulars of a verj valuable seriea of its successes. The Dairy Industry Epitomised NATHAN'S AND HOME SEPARATION. The great interest taken in the exhibit of Messrs Joseph Nathan and Oo.on the first day was coutinW yesterday. The spacious stind wast crowded throughout the day with farmers desir ms of having the very inganjons new separators explained to them and people wishing to probe the mysteries of dired milk. The nurse and staff who Bell the dried milk or give ghsses of it fresh brewed with hot water] were kept) very busv. His Exoelleuoy the Governor and Major-Qenetal Godley have both been specially ioterestecr in this product, and have formed very high opinions of the future of j the industry,. The separators are a oonstont source of interest to the youngsters, and one pretty little girl gave an unoousoious aud quite volnn. tary. object-lesson of the ease of working by industriously turning ona after the other for quite a long time, to the amnßement and interest of the farmers.. As a result of this exhibition and the discussion at the Oon* ferenoe a great demand for the separators is sotting in and home separation seems likely to become general. Many farmers yesterday raiatad their own experiences with the separators to. friends, and they invariably ended: in the friends pro oeeding to negotiate for purchase. MFLOTTE SEPARATORS. Amongst the separator disoussed was the Melotte, the agency for which the firm has .held for'the" past fifteen years. The simplicity, durability and the sniallnees of the power required to work them are amongft .their bpst known features. They ate shown in three sizes 18,28 and 50 gallons. DJABOLO AND PUMP SEPARATORS. Last season Messrs Nathan were fortunate enough to Beouie the ageuoy for the Diabolo and Pump Seperator Company of Sweden, and during the year nearly 100 of these machines have been placed io the immediate district. A pamphlet has been issued giving the opinious of' users on the new Beperators. Taking some at random from'the number,Mr John Simpson, of Lees Line, Feeding, declares tbat he has used a 70 i gallon pump seperator f,r the whole season without any cast for repairs whatever and it is working splendidly. The skim milk tests have been invariably good and he strong, ly reoommends tbe maohine. MissH. E. Maclean, of Aorangi, has "found nothina to equal it " Mr P, M'Onrdy of Mabarahara, found it so simple and satisfactory that his fourteen year old girl cau use it. Mr Fred Jepsen, ex-creamery manager, Aoiangi, haß found the Pomp. seperator "onton its own." There was no. lifting of milk into oans or vats and his skim milk tested 01, wbioh he remarks "is hard to beat." Mr J. Woodley, of Awajiuri; F. Hodgson, Aorangi; G. Haybittle, Peilding; Henderson Bros., Awahuri; F. W. Elliott, Wnodlauds, audj a number of others, all testify to their great satisfaction with the Pump machine. Mr Woodley gives these actual experiences whioh i are interesting io view of a notice of motion before the Oonferenoß: I also find the pigs do better on ' the milk, so they get it warmnight and morning-ana the returns for home separation are better than the factory returns. The first month'at home separation my returns were £5 (five pounds) better on the same . .amount of milk daily (5001bs), than the previous month, when ' I went to the factory and was paid the same price per lb. for butter fat. Also > eacU month sluoe my retains have been better. The Diabolo machines have also * their sheaf of testimonials from well' known nserp. These include Messrs 0. Menzies, cf Oolyton, 0. Williams, of Haloombe, Jas. Fraser, of Haloombe, G. H. Bristow, cf Feilding, 0. R. Thomas, of Oolyton, and Draper Bros., of Feilding. Mr Williams mentions as illustrating the ease with whioh his maohine is worked that his little boys of seven and ten respectively always turn for him. Tbe Diabolo machines are made only in two sizes, 27 and 60 gallons an hour. The price of the former 1b £7 10s and of the latter £l3 Ills, whioh the firm considers makes it the best valne of any seperator in tbe market to-day for its power. A feature of the stand is a small Diabolo machine, which has been cut down through the centre showing the whole interior workiug parts. The substantiality aud. simplicity of the machine are its outstanding features. A NEW DEVELOPMENT. The Pump machines are a remarkably clever" and new development in seperiitors which saves the labour of one person entirely. Not one drop of milk has to be lifted, the maohine as its name dtsipnatae, pumps the whole of the milk irom the ground JDto the seperator bowl. These bowls aro self balancing and the larger machines are so constructed as to be available for either turning by baud or by power, They are shown in a foil rauge of tlio following sizes 33, 70,130 and 195 gallons. The ease with which the Machines can be manipulated is such that a 130 gallon machine can bo easily operated by one boy. There is an aotomatio release for the bowl aud many other interesting aud new features, such as it is claimed no other separator on the market to-day has. West Coast Steamship Stand ThisW.O.S.S. 00. Ims a very interesting stand in the machinery section in whioh a number of the specialities for which tlio Company is agont aie shown. The coals in whioh it deals si largely, Popouga, Brunner, and Blackball, are exhibited, aud the company also stocks the State, Taupiri aud Newcastle Goals which it shows. Then there is a oollectiou of oils aud maohinContinued on pago 8,
