AND J. DOBBIE'S CELEBRATED PATENT BROADCAST SEED-SOWER, Which will take place on the Farm of Mr. Turnbull, close to tho Deborah Railway Station, NEXT TUESDAY, JUNE 3rd, At One o'Clock. The trial will be conducted by Mr. A. W. Dobbie, who has brought with him fiom Adelaide a number of their LATEST IMPROVED PATTERN SOWERS. There arc 400 of the Old and 200 of the New Pattern now in nse in South Australia, although it i 3 only three years since their invention. The following is a fair sample of the experience of New Zealand farmers using this Sower : " Haasell, Son, and Co., Oamaru. " Sire, —In reply to yonr questions in re Dobbie's Patent Sower, I beg to say that by only using one horse I sow wheat 45ft.; barley, 40ft. to 45ft.; oats, 36ft. to 40ft.; but if the horse is driven a little faster it will sow wider. When I first started the Sower I sowed GO acres in C hours. " The sowing is cerv regular, much better than nine-tenths of what I see sown by hand. " I fonnd no difficulty at all in working the machine. I think that every farmer should have a sower, as it does away with the hardest work on the farm ; in fact, as some of my neighbors remarked when they saw me sitting In the dray with my coat on sowing ten acres an hour, they said it was farming made easy. "Yours, &c., "D. Borrie. " Papakaio, May 26, 1579." The train arrives at Deborah from Oamaru at 12.30. Come and judge for yourselves. They will sow all kinds of seed. A. W DOBBIE.
