THE AUCKLAND SHOW.

iineispwp: DISPLAY AT EPSOM.

WEALTH 0F THE PROVINCE. . HKfH I QUALITY EXHIBITS. DAIRY ANIMALS EXCEL.- ' "i RECORD OF DEVELOPMENT, j The Auckland Metropolitan Agricultural and Pastoral Show, which wm* opened in attractive circumstances yestcr- , day, provides arresting proof of the re . wealth of the province. In all its varied , features it is a notable exhibition, easily surpassing past records as regards essential tests" of quality and achievement in » tho rapid and ever mora promising de- : velopment of Auckland's great primary j. industries. Incidentally the show is an inspiring Uvjson in optimism. Exper s assert that, the season for the whole of the favoured countryside around and far beyond the Capital of the North has, so" far, been uniformly good, and it now only requires timely generous rain to raise tho standard of production to a record measure. , The first impressive feature of tho show is its dimensions. It is on an exceptional large scale. Tho spacious Campbell Ground at Epsom, to which has been added for the occasion a generous portion of tho adjoining grounds of the Trotting Club, is like a vast Roman camp vrith its innumerable tents, pavilions and dags, and the ceaseless stir of man and beast. Of course there is one very prominent feature of moderm y. This is the amazing number of motorcars in service and on exhibitionIn round numbers tho competitive entries for all classes exceeds 1500. AU tho exhibits are well displayed, ana a are deserving •of popular msp on - There is, £ has beoom habitual, with Auckland's progress the inevitable measure of notable records of expansion. Bum development is as strong and possibly more solid than metropolitan enterprise and achievement It can bo stated, as a matter of plam fact, that the grand parade of living com petitors at fhe shovf this afternoon will represent the finest pageant of stock and pedigree dairy, cattle yet seen in the Dominion. Pedigree Milking Strains. It was to be expected that the dairying • section of the Epsom exhibition would constitute an appreciable record.But not even the most careful observers of ; tho remarkable expansion of Auckland s . dairying industry anticipated so splendid a display of pedigree milking strains. For a long time there has been incessant talk about fhe " scrub " bulls and bush- < country cattle of the Auckland Province; there still may be some cause, for such ■ comment, but here, in this-testing ground at? Epsom to-day, is Co bo. seen the Dominion's • indisputably finest exhibition of pedigree Jersey bulls. And the different strains of milch-cows provide one of the ; out-standing features of the show. All this < is most- appropriate to the circumstances | ■ of tho changed times in the North. From : th« Wairoa to south of the Waikato,J: from Auckland to the East Cape, the i province supports al' the very .outset of . efficient development no fewer than 25,000 dairy Harms and nearly half-a-milliOn milking cattle." And the great -industry has not yet really entered the golden age of dairying. " The best ,is yeC to be. _ Tho 'mam points Of , the dairy , competitions in connection with the Auckland Spring Show have already been enumerated in the Herald, but at, the show statistics give place to -the real product.. llie display *of butter and cheese, not selected specially fox the competition, but taken as'representative of general factory production, 13 a splendid exhibition _of notable -quality." It. is of 1 the first importance *to the community as a_ whole to be assured by responsible dairying experts that factory managers _ realise the economic value of maintaining .a; high standard of quality also that? they' con- ; vince dairy . fanntra that. improved pro-, ductiqn' butter-fas is essential to prosperity; and that tha 'highest authorities of all insist upon the maintenance-'of a high standard of dairy products. Over 500 Horses Exhibited. It is surely a matter for special note that the entries for the competitive classes of corses exceed 500. This, is a remarkable entry in an age of motoring. ' Indeed, so much has been said about the plienomenal demand for motor-cars and ; still more motor-cars that one 1 might ■ have expected to find horses becoming as rare as zebras. Yet there is a greater dis-, ■ play of better horses at the show than ever before. The quality of the saddle * horses and hunters is adjudged as exceptionally good.. There is also keen competition in the different glasses of sheep and pigs, the latter appearing to be preposterously prosperous as to condition and incorrigibly' lazy .in the summer heat.. In addition to the rural features of the ' exhibition/ there is a capital display of the rich; beauty of Auckland horticulture. The Kennel Club's Show is in itself a charming '.attraction for those with a love of domestic pets. Hie dogs may be. a little vociferous in fheir clamour for attention, but one© that has been gained, their friendship is a delight. . . The. show is well equipped in respect to arrangements for the entertainment of the public. Given good weather, People's" Day should bo a. splendid success. s *"~ vr .

OLYMPIA IN MIjNIATUBE.

MODERN MOTOR DISPLAY. The advance of the motor in meeting the growing demands for passenger and goods transport is adequately represented at the show in the very complete exhibition made, by city motor firms. The avenue that is entirely devoted to their display is to many the most interesting section on the grounds. Hero all the latest developments in the motor world have place, and are so staged as to form a miniature but representative Olympia. The motor trade this year is catering •for a market of restored confidence and grpa'ter buying power. This has been reflected! in the import returns, and sellers are able to offer terms for all chesses of vehicles that invite and ensure business. The passenger models on exhibition were of. especial merit. All the latest ideas were embodied in the new designs, and some 1924 models were actually on show.

QiDITE THE BEST SHOW. 1

VALUE OF COMPETITION. : [ / i' I4)ED JELUCOE'S SPEECH. > 3|he show was formally declared open at ,'two , o'clock yesterday afternoon by the i • Lord 1 Jellicoe. ; A largb attendance of officials .. and visitors' supported ? the cordial welcome to. His Excel'lensy, whose ' short speech was chajaA'toristic in ; happy appropriatiness. : .' Iji Rendering the-association's greeting to th« Governor-General, the' president, .Mr.' E. D. TrliiLennan, explained that 60 ■yearsrhad passed since the inauguration of the "" Auckland spring show. Therq had been great progress during that long ■ period}, and' v the outstanding lesson of was the necessity for pro;moting\ the breeding of pedigree stock. We hap a splendid country, and it was A common doty to make * the most of ♦natural advantages and great oppor'.tnnities. It was a great pleasure to Si-have His Excellency present to open a 'show that presented soma very fine specimens of pedigree stock and first-quality ptofiucts. 11 'It was. a delightful pleasure, said Lord JeAlJcoo, in reply, to come to Auckland ana undertake the duty of formally openings "its spring show. One felt that show* of Sts nature had a very good effect indeed, in 'stimulating the advancement of picirtaary' production from the soil in this -XSkftninran, which offered great possibilities! "for development. It was the competitive spirit that induced people to endeavour to. .attain perfection. Nothing but tbp spirit of competition could achieve 'that ideal. For this reason : shows wterje valuable. Everybody knew that every' part of the Dominion claimed to make ;tl)ie best show, and doubtless a similar cPaim would bo made for Auckland (fHeaf, hear.) Well, it was certain at any rate that everybody would echo the hope that this show was certainly goirsj to bo the best show Auckland had ever produced. He wished it the best possible success, and - declared it open to the public. (Applause.) * The Auckland Artillery Band, under ; Lieutenant, G. F. Cater, -was in attendance and discoursed a pleasant programme of music.

AMONG THE EXHIBITS.

THE HORSE SECTION.

FINE COLLECTION OF HACKS.

The excellent entries in the horse classes provided a particularly fine display of light horses, among which the hacks and hunters stood out with marked distinction. A gratifying feature of the section was the large number of new exhibits seen in the ring. Among them" were some very stylish animals and others that will improve with age and ring experience. Some of the old show-ring favourites were I absent, but these defections were more than compensated for by the new aspirants. No fewer than 30 hunters paraded in' the light-weight class, and the quality of the majority of the competitors was up to a high standard. A pleasing feature also ' was the fine , entry of 25 in the j maiden hunter class, a gratifying indication -that the breeding and showing of the : best types of saddle horses is being steadjily carried; on by enthusiasts. The hack ' classes attracted fine entries, the maiden, light-weight, and heavy-weight classes including some fine types, while the aspirants to honours among the cavalry and mounted infantry horses, included some really good animals, in which breeding and sturdy physique were shown in a happy and" useful blend* • • The judge in the saddle-horse • section, Mr. F. C. Vallance, said he was impressed' by the- number of entries and evenness in Quality of the exhibits in several of the 'classes. The type of . saddle horse now being shown -. in Auckland was > much superior to those of a few years ago. Taking the competitors as a whole it w»a easily the best collection of saddle horses he. had seen at an Auckland show.

: The draught horse section was not quite as well patronised by exhibitors as usual, but the entries included some, high-grade stock, among them being.the championship .winners at last year's show. These were Mr.,EL Aitkenhead's fine entire Lord Bucklyvie and Mr." S. B. Grant's stylish mare, Rose Everest. These animals were again awarded championship honours. The strongest classes in point of .numbers were those-for dry' and brood mares. There were also some fine entries in,the townhorse section, heavy, light, and medium types showing to advantage. Auckland has developed the draught horse breeding industry on good lines, and the strength of the section is a striking indication that notwithstanding the growing nse of the motor the demand for heavy horses continues to be as great as in past years.

FISH TYPE OP CATTLE.

JERSEYS IN THE LEAD.

The most notable feature of the comprehensive show is the cattle' section. All the exhibits, are true to distinctive type, and the condition of the stock, reveals the favours of the present season. The dairying breeds can only be described as excellent, winning the unqualified ..approval' of expert judges and experienced breeders, and gaining, the admiration'of laymen. On. the male side the standard of quality in every respect is exceptionally high, and challenges comparison with . the best specimens ever shown anywhere in the Dominion. The palm of honour is given, without hesitation, .to the Jersey section. In this strong class the pedigree animals afford pleasing evidence of the enterprise of Auckland farmers in t&e matter of. improving the blood of their milking herds. One would' have 'to travel far and' search diligently for a better muster of [ Jersey. bulls. ' Per .carriage, length and the .main* essentials of profit 'the champion and prize-taking bulls represent the first-class types. T Aged cows form another fine class of good pedigree. stock, while tfiie young ' stock 13 particularly strong in promise. There is an attractive representation of pedigree and registered milking , Shorthorns, all in capital condition, tvnical as to configuration and marking. . There are no fewer than 53 entries, showing that tsie true ' British breed of utility cattle gains rapidly in favour in the province. The classes of Friesians and Ayrshires also represent a pronounced improvement of the general herd standard. Ayrshires again' represent a. surprising increase, and if the condition of the numerous entries be even; only approximately typical of the stocky in the country, the core _of the . dairying industry in the province can be accepted as sound. , ". In t/he fat cattle section the exhibits are distinctly good representative stock, but competition, as was to be. expected, is somewhat restricted. The dominant aim of Auckland farmers is obviously butter-fat production, and the proof of great advancement is clear and convincing in the cattle section of the show.

THE SHEEP EXHIBITS.

SPLENDID PENS OP FREEZERS.

Entries for the various classes of *Bheep total close on 150. This can be regarded as exceptionally satisfactory, since competition in sheep has never been a marked feature of* the Auckland Show. Seven different breeds are represented, and the exhibits generally # are commendable for condition and serviceable quality, v A noteworthy feature of the section is the excellent representation of freezers, I ' classes being uniformly good. The i pens of Southdowns are particularly attractive, their condition being excellent. Jin Lincolns the competition is restricted, though thu type is well displayed. The 'i I Lomediles, -which are looked upon by 1 I paotoradaia aa a good rent-paying breed,

provide V strong class, claiming: v very favourable ; attention. The > section, •.as ;• a whole, represents an appreciably improvement in the standard of Auckland district flocks. - , ; f*. j - ' ' i ll — ■■ ■'r «. '• v •• •>'; vJ-,'7' ' ' EXHIBIT ... Off PIGS.

Competition in this * section was particularly keen, the prizes being ..'well, distributed among well-known breeders. The firsfl prize for boars went to Mr. .G* £. Yelr chick, of Waiuku, who won the ;Schampionship with ' the same animal at last year's show. The other prizes were well divided between Mr Yelchick, Mr.' E. J.. Rogers, of Ngaruawahia, and ... the Auckland Mental Hospital. Tho Yorkshires, Devons and Tamworths on exhibition were.also fine animals. The prizes'-in, these classes nearly all Went to Mr. E. J. Rogers and Mr. A. T. Rogers. ,

FARMERS' BUTTER.

EXCELLENT QUALITY SHOWN.

The exhibit of farmers' butter was small, but the quality was excellent. The shrinkage in entries is, of course, accounted for by the great expansion of the industry and the general adoption of the factory system. The chief Government grader, Mr. A. A. Thornton, who judged the exhibits, said that 18 years ago the entries in the farmers' butter classes totalled 150, compared with less than a dozen' at this year's show. Following are the results -21b. butter without salt: Mrs. F. J. Morrow (Pukekohe), 1; Mrs. .. D. Potter (Henderson), 2; Mrs. F. E. Good (Birkenhead), 3; Mrs. M. Campbell (Hillsborough), v.h.c 21b. butter with salt: Mrs. F. J. Morrow, 1; Mrs. D. Potter 2; Mrs. F. Good, 3; Mrs. M. Campbell, vJi.c.

MACHINERY FOR THE F^RM

LABOUR-SAVING DEVICES.

One of the most powerful agents in checking the drift from country to town is the growing application of machinery to rural tasks. Urban amenities thus become possible on the farm, and increase their helpful lightening of the sheer toil that used to be part of the lot of the farmer and his wife.

The coming of electricity td' farms in South Auckland was reflected in exhibits of motors for power, and varioua lighting, heating and cooking arrangements. But " white coal" is far from solving the power problems of all farms, and here the oil engine has its place. The several makes displayed were carefully inspected, especially those which served the triple purpose of supplying light, water, and power. Milking plants formed a strong section in themselves, and whether propelled by oil engine or electric motor, each had its merits eagerly canvassed bycountry visitors. The conquest of the horse by the motor is already m its final stages in the towns, and farm tractors promise a repetition of the same process in the country. This development was adequately represented in the machinery section, the latest improvements in motor land traction, claiming much attention. Many other aids to cultivation were on view. Of considerable interest to farmers' wives were the many accessories for making household management less of a problem where domestic help is scarce. < Water heating arrangements, stoves, boiling and lighting plants, were in this class, while tho last model mills for harnessing 1 the winds provided an economical solution of the water supply problem. The ingenious devices whereby these mills stop pumping when tank or trough is filled, were closely examined. Altogether, the farm machinery "makes up a section at once interesting and educative.

N.Z. CATTLECAKE AND OIL COMPANY.

To the farmers . visiting the Auckland Show.to-day, one of the most popular exhibits will be that of the New Zealand Oattlecake and Oil Co., Ltd. This company manufactures, at its mill at". Westfield, the famous "Moose" Brand Meal and Nuts, which have proved themselves so invaluable to the dairy farmer as a stock food. .V Mixed with skim milk or whey, "Moose" Meal is an excellent food for calves in fact, splendid results have been secured in some cases from feeding " Moose" Meal with water only. There is a .very large -percentage of protein in the meal, and this gives the calves, a good start in life and lays the, foundation of a sound constitution, enabling -them, at maturity to produce "to their' full capacity. " Moose"-fed calves are known by their sturdy and healthy appearance, ; Moose" Nuts are suitable for feeding to cows, and most of the leading dairyfarmers "in New Zealand • now h> recognise that "Moose" is the riost efficient stock food on the market, and an indispensable adjunct, on the farm. It is a. wise policy to feed the Nuts all the year round, although when the pastures are at . their best ■> the quantity may be somewhat reduced. The cows will not only produce more milk each day, but the milking period will be, extended, and, incidentally, the farmers' profits. . • .„> ;;•; During the winter months, when the pastures are poor> it is quite essential for the cows to , have., a good : concentrated food in order to build them up after the long milking, and.get them jnto a sound, condition before calving. There will thus be no lost time to -make up. and the cows will produce, well right from the start. We know of no better recommendation to farmers who want a fine, healthy herd* with a butter-fat production to be proud of, than this: Feed " your calves on "Moose" Meal, and givo them the taste for , the Nuts later on, and your, feeding troubles will be at an end. We must not forget to mention the ex ceptional manuriaJ qualities of "Moose" Meal and Nuts. These are such that fully 25 per cent, of the cost is returned to the farmer in the improvement to the pastures* especially if a chain or tripod harrow is used. ' Some Of the experiences of farmer's who have used "Moose" products • with signal success have been made up in the form of a booklet, which the company's representatives at the Show will be pleased to give to anyone inquiring. This book- . let also contains some interesting and valuable information in connection with the feeding of dairy stock. .

WORLD'S BIGGEST PIG.

A MOUNTAIN OF PORK. One of the chief attractions at' the Show is the monster Berkshire boar, Maori Chief. To see him is to realise that he .fully lives up. to his claim to be the largest pig in the world. He is a • mountain of pork, weighing 71b. : over half a ton, or 11271b. At the same time he is an excellent specimen of the breed and of. perfect good temper. The length of the monster is 7ft. 6in;, so that, if set oh end, Maori Chief would overtop , a tall : man by 18in. - His girth is 7ft. 9in., and, as the showman remarks, . " once round his waist is twice round the gasworks." Farmers were crowding in to see the prodigy all day yesterday along with the children, all eager to see just how big a really big pig could be. The chance to see Maori Chief should not be missed. He will -.be, found in ' the side-show section, hear the merryewwpd..

DENNIS MOTOR SPECIALTIES.

.VEHICLES FOR ALL USES. Th« jf business interested in commercial - vehicles cannot' afford 'to : miss seeing f thi show exhibit of Dennis motors staged by the New Zealand Expteis Co. Dennis ia a'hounehold word, where reliability, service, and economy are considerations, and the fact that Dennis turbine fire engines are the standard in fire-fight-s' iX is J proof that they are a^wa y® ready for . any call that may be made upon th Dennis Bros, have specialised « bracks, and can provide a machine of weight anu power fof any task that may be required. Models range" frcm 5-6 ton, 3*4 ton 2J* ton" down to the 20-25cwt truck, specif ally designed for light and speedy transpert. These latter machines will be avail able for delivery in February next, and offer the well-known service given by the Dennis build, along with han and speed. The heavier trucks have already reoommended themselves by the test of actual use in Auckland, and throughout Of" particular interest to public bodies is the patent street watering and washing machine. The sprinklers are capable of giving a spread of 50ft. in width, and when washing from 25ft.. to 30ft. £l P™ a ,4a obtained. The sprinkling and washing heads are placed at the front of the vehicle, so that the operator has a clear view of the operation. The tank can be replaced by a tipping lorry body, fitted with mechanically operated tippinc; gea.r. The majority of leading municipalities in England prefer the Dennis municipal vehicle on account of all-round usefulness, simplicity of control and management, and dependability, economy and efficiecv ' The electric vehicle has been developed to handle goods in jibe class of service that is commonly met with in towns, and in this class the Orwell stands supreme. It is superior to other type;. of vehicles for transport over moderate distances and tor work in which there are frequent stops and starts, such ns town delivery work, rffuse collection, etc. The success of the Orwell electric vehicle rests on the cheapness of the o'leriMpc cost and upkeep, and the long li r e io ul ing from simplicity and robustness of design. As an alternative to the railway, for heavier loads, the Ransome steam waggon takes easily the first place. For such work it offers a striking economy over the petrol vehicle. The steam waggon can be supplied with one or two trailers, as required For whatever class of transport a vehicle is required the New Zealand • Express Co., through its Dennis and Orwell agencies, can supply the appropriate unit, and for passenger carriage, the Dennis chassis represents the ideal.

MOTOR-BODY BUILDERS.

COUSINS AND ATKIN'S DISPLAY. Utilty is the essence of the exhibition at the show made by Cousins and A.tkin, motor-body builders, Stanley Street. The most interesting feature to the small trader and fanner is the dual, purpose car. Any ordinary Ford touring car can be so adapted as to be used for pleasure during week-ends, and as a ' light delivery van during tlae week. The back seat of the touring fax is made detachable, so that a covered van can be substituted. The advantages. are obvious. The suburban grocer could not well afford to maintain both touring car and motor delivery van, but by this, system he has both at his command at the' extra , cost of the * van attachment . only. The va:ji can also be fitted with seats and thus converted into a wagonette for picnic: parties. The valde of this invention to the small trader •or the' dairy fanner would be difficult to estimate, and much ' credit accrues to . Cousins , and Atkin for their, enterprise." They are being rewarded by the stream-, of orders ' with which ' they are being asked to cope. The output .of factory in Stanley Street is already one a day, or 300 a year. Thus has the making of an eminently practical article of trade met with an immediate public (response. • ' - ' . 'Another dual purpose article for fitting on a Ford chassis is. a light delivery Van ! which can be fitted with portable 5 seats for passenger traffio : during week-ends.' Thus the maximum interest , cs.a be earned by the investment represented in the car. Another body made by Cousins and Atkin is adapted to the purposes of .'the; general Carrier. : There, are also designs for the special purposes of grocers, milkmen, butchers, and other traders. 1 The vans' are attractively /painted, decorated and finished , to/Suit clients. The quick - despatch of orders ;is • a specialty of Cousins and - Atkins. -'- Standard bodies for the" several purposes are kept in stock, and the firm undertakes to fit the . body on the : ;i chassis in the • shortest time, making. alterations as required. The firm also , specialises iin repair and Vupholstery*f work. The recent demand for -passenger, buses • has found Cousins arid Atkin > ready ;, with a {neat and light ' design ;- which ~ provides the maximum seating * accommodation. i A visit to their exhibit' at the show will repay visitors handsomely. .1 -

THE ; 1924 BUICK MODEL.; J "When"' better cars: are built, Buicks will build them," and, in the 1924 models on. exhibition at the show, Gillett Motors, Ltd., of Elliott ' Street, have again; demonstrated the ; truth of the slogan. For, these» 1924 <sars axe better cars, cars of. distinction, :of refinement, ,of fine', appearance, and yet . offered -at a .price; that represents unrivalled value. - A feature .in, the latest models is that alii are fitted with four l wheel brakes. .' The smartness of the touring six-cylinder' model is an example of what . Buicks 'are offering. It has' the ' graceful lines of ; the streamline body, has a special luggage carrier bn! the back, and. ail . accessories, even to a cigar lighter.. Special fittings are : i the dashboard in walnut, fenders,' ; and aluminium running board. ITo see these cars'on- the road is to . envy their happy possessors, to. be imbued with, the desire -to. acquirejust. such another. Even more superlative in its appointments .is the magnificent i severi-seater Sedan, which can justly be said to be one" of the best finished cars ever imported into the Dominion. Serviceable, every da r Buicks are also offered, and are being increasingly adopted by commercial firms • f'or their representatives. But the best way to -realise what Buick- means in car service is to visit the display on the show grounds. j

LIGHT, WATER, AND POWER.

■ FEATURES OF OARON PLANT, To do the endless tasks of farm life more easily and economically was the idea that actuated the , designing and building of the Caron light, water,. and power plant, one of the most 'interesting exhibits on the showgrounds. The Caron patented valveless engine gives the start of a power unit that/will cost less and outwork any other. For the farm *,he engine can be used for running saw, email grinder, chopper, oar any machine not requiring more than 3 h.p. At any time later the friction separator drive, shallow or deep well pump, or the generator and storage batteries can be j added. Any of these units can be added to the : Caron engine, making a most:compact ? and complete plant. Recommendations :of the plant are the simplicity of v the •. engine, 'which has only three running parts; it starts or. stops, at th • touch of a button; there are no . complicated >... contrivances and it is lower in : first cost and . upkeep than any . other plant of equal* capacity. Visitors :to the show should certainly" see these points demonstrated or seek the sole New Zealand, agent, Mr. James A. MacneoL, 10» Marksft Entrance, Auckland.

Of refined appearance |§|SM and smooth running power, the Hudson 5-C'q Super Six ranks high in public estirr.a- *Si tion as :>ne of the most acceptable pro- % * ducts of the engineering art, combininga high standard of quality with an ex- 5-pi ceptionally low price. The Hudson "4l> builders have been engaged in perfecting \ flii their models during the course of a great ' '.£« number of years, with the result that v#, efficiency has been increased in the manu- '-?■.% facturing processes with very weloome reductions in the ultimate Jost. Thefi excellent quality of the materials used in the construction are evident from a- ■>'! casual inspection, while the engine per- '% formance has been highly lauded by 1many present-day users. A quiet and ;ff conservative taste, stamped by a pleasing % symmetry of lines, sets the Hudson Super ,<|f Six apart from all others. ' | Smart and neat in appearance, the • Essex Cabriolet is a model of solia com- '.-f fort and endurance.
