"When we introduced the DUX PLOUGHS Iftst Season we had only a few samples tO f distribute, and these, on account of theic lightness, were accepted with some misgiving by purchasers. Aotual work in the tussock aoon changed the opinion of the owners, and now we are meeting with a considerable demand. It will be remembered that the First Doublefurrow Dai sold in the colony was sent to John Bletoiier, of Kyeburn, who wrote us that be was turning 2£ aores of tussock land per day, using . only two horsas. The Single JFarrow showed- equally good results. This is the Plough that Beat All Comers -for the Scottish Championship at the Damfiic3 and Kirkcudbrightshire Trials, gaming l'irat and Second Prizes, beating R*nsom<», Howard, Oliver, Storey, and all comers. Blcesrs Jack and Son, of Maybole, took up the agency, and sojd2ooo to 3000 of these Ploughß in the most conservative country in ths world. ; The makers of the Dm (Cookshutfc and Col) write us :—" There were sis matohes in all held in this province,at which we won five firsts and a good number of seconds and thirds. Iv (he «*fcli the Field considered wo weie entitled to flrat, although the judges awarded ib to another maker. You tee ife was the lasb trial of the season, and our competitors had to do something to beat us." At the Hamilton Pioughing , Match, November 6, 1895, wh-'jre the MasseyHarris Company were competing (and where they had evidently given the prizes— a custom we objected to so stroDgly iv connection with the Invercargill Binder Trial some years ago), the Cockehutt ploughs won first and third in the Champion Class — money prizes and a Mas!ey-H«rr;s (verily) plough ; first and second in the next oluss (money prizes and a MasseyHarm plough), and flrafc and second in the Jointer Class. This will show intending buyers the record of the Cockshutt Ploughs at Home and in Cantdft, «nd the following news clipping from the New Zealand Herald of January 23, 1896, will be cf interest to farmers who want to economise in horse flesh snd first cost of implements without any sacrifice of efficiency :— " The Dnx Plongh appears to be a decided BUCCSS3, upwards of a thousand having bsen cold daring the first season. Not long since the agents in tbe old country wrote to Professor M'Connel), Ongar Park Hall, B?sex, asking him to try one of the Dux Ploughs on the- .stiff city lands of Essex. To this requect the author of the 'Agricultural Notebook' replied as follows:— 'A few years ago I 'made a trial of .some nine ploughs here ' to try. and find one which would dp better \vork than tho old Eis*x wooden plongh, both as to work and' draught (with the dynamometer test). I was uoi quite satisfied with any of these ploughs, and am looking out for abatter one ; bat I certainly do cob care to purchase until I have made an exhaustive trial of- it. . The land here is like sticky soap, and one half of the ploughs made would be of no use on ib.' On receiving the above letter Messrs Jack and Son forwarded a Dux Plongh to the professor for trial, and the followiug is a copy of ih« professor's report, which is dated November 14, 18,95 :— " • The Dux ''Plough is doing better work than I have ever been able to get done oa thin land before, and it is the tenth plongh I have tried, all by different makers. Please send Another of the same immediately.' " ! * CALL AND SEE SAMPLES. The Double-furrow Dux is essentially a twohorse steel plough, and is cold &t £10 10s, free , on rail Dunedin, .
