THE " SCOUR " IN CALVES It is calculated, tliat fully 20,000 calves have, in the past, died annually in this Colony from the complaint known as " Scours." This represents a loss to the farmers of, at least, £25,000. There is no necessity for calves to die from scours, If the proper remedy is used in time. Mr Alex. Colson, of New Plymouth, so well and widely known in connection with % the the stock sales of Mr Newton King, the well-known auctioneer says :—" There is no mistake, those Scour Drenches made by Ellis, of Stratford, are a wonderful remedy. I never saw anything like them. I had some calves, the other day, lying almost dead from scour. I gave them one dose each, just off chance, hardly expecting them to live. Next day, those same calves were strong and well, and as lively as crickets. I strongly recommend every farmer to keep them by him, for I can guarantee if he uses them in time, he will never have his calves die from the Scours." Tbese Drenches may be obtained through all storekeepers, at Is 6d per packet, with full directions ; or they will be sent free by post on receipt of the amount in postal notes from the sole manufacturer, W, A.

GRAND MOOR JUNR, is a magnificent dark brown horse, standing 10.1, bred by Mr .Martin, Mendenhall, of Livermore, Cal., U.S.A., 10 years oW. Got by Grand Moor (2,874), sire of Abdul 2.2 R ; Myrtle T, 2.27 A- ; Sadie Moor, 2.29.',, and clams of Sidmoor, 2.19 f, Mustapha, 2.28. First dam Cotisanele, 2.2 U (one of tho most beautiful mares over seen); Sl.e. by lowa Chief (528), record 2.84 J, anil sire of Bertie M, 2.27-2, Charlie Baldwin, 2.27 J, &c, &c. Grand Moor (2,874) is by The Moor (870), record 2.87, sire of Sultan, 2.24, who in his turn was the sire of Stamboul, 2.07 A, and 25 others in the 280 list; Tommy Gates, 2.24; D*l Sin, 2.24 ; and of dams of Sable Willies, 2.18. It will thus Le seen that two other great families are represented in the horse, viz., Clay Pilot (93) and Mambrino Patchen (58). Grand Moor Junr. did some excellent times, and Mas looked upon as such a fine stamp of horse that he was put to the stud about five years ago, and his stock are now considered amongst the finest in California. He is thoroughly sound in every respect, with a beautiful set of legs, aud very quiet to drive. Fuller particulars in future issue. J. D. MITCHELL, Manaia.
