THE “ SCOUR ” IN CALVES It is calculated, that 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.” These 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.

TO STAND THIS SEASON, The American Trotting Stallion, Grand Moor Junr. (Time: 218|.) GRAND MOOR JUNR. is a magnificent dark brown horse, standing 16.I#*bred by Mr Martin, Mendenhall, ■ f Livermore, Cal., U.S.A., 10 years ■dd. Got by Grand Moor (2,374), ore of Abdul 2.28 ; Myrtle T, 2.274 ; Sadie Moor, 2.294, and dams of Siduioor, 2.19 f, Mustapha, 2.23. First dam Corisande, 2.244 (one of the most beautiful mares ever seen); She, by lowa Chief (528), record 2.34 f, and sire of Bertie M, 2.277, Charlie Baldwin, 2.27|, Grand Moor (2,374) is by The Moor (870), record 2.37, sire of Sultan, 2.24, who in his turn was the sire of Stamboul, 2.074, and 25 others in the 230 list; Tommy Gates, 2.24; Del Sin, 2.24 ; and of dams of Sable Wilkes, 2.18, It will thus be 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 was looked upon as such a fine stamp of horse that lie 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, and very quief to drive. Fuller-particulars in future issue. J. D. MITCHELL, Manaia.
