NEW COCKSHUTT PLOUGHS.

CHAMPIONS OF CANADA AND SCOTLAND. LEAD THE WORLD. LOCAL TESTIMONY We append a couple of testimonials from the North Island and two from the South ; and are now showing the present season's improved two and three furrow, adjustable width, long mouldboard Steel Ploughs, for two and three horses respectively. We are again meeting with a brisk demand, and shall clear our stock before the ploughing season is far advanced. We have made the price £10 10s double- furrow and £15 15s treble-furrow, free on rail or wharf, Dunedin. Terms are less 2-£ per cent, for c&gh, or net by approved bill at four months. These implements would have bean good value at £17 and £21, and in making the price a low ono for cash we were determined to keep out all abuses from the trade, and we have therefore no money or time to wasta in competitive or exhibition trials. Our local testimonials must speak for us, and any further information about the ploughs must be gathered from inspection of the implements themselves here or at our agencies. We offer the best value in the world, and if anything else had bean necessary we should have added £3 each to our prices, and could then have indulged in trials and at tbe same time have delivered magnificent value. Farmers must iemtmber that every time it is the farmer who pays, and all expenses thrown upon implement men are anticipated in advance, and included in the price of tbe goods, unless, as in the present case, the representative elects to shun all unnecessary display and expenses and say, " There's the implement ; let it speak for itself." All ploughs taken from agencies must have railage upon them paid by purchasers. All duplicate parts on cor retpondingly low net scale. %7ELL PLEASED. Hillend, Clutha, 22nd June 1896. lam well pleased with the plough ; tbe only ilrawback it has got is in not being able to alter the width of the furrow. If you get ploughs that the furrow can be altered you should do a big trade. (Signed) Jas. Littlb. [Present season's ploughs have adjustable Widths of furrow.} SEND ME ANOTHER. Johnsonville, Wellington, N Z., July 2, 1696. The plough I got from you is giving every satisfaction, and I want you to send me another ef the same description at once. (Signed) Robt. Bould. SEND ME TWO MORE. Johnsonville, July 17, 1896. I herewith enolose cheque for £10 lOe, being the price of the last plough. I alro want two more of the same sort as soon as ycu can send them to me. I had about a dozen farmers on Wednesday last to see me do some ploughing with mine, with the result that they think it a fii'3t-rate implement, and I hope you will soon get a fresh supply, as I think there are two or three more thinking of giving orders. Should anyone in my district write for any information about the Dux plough, you can refer them to me, and I will bs happy to let them see it at work any time. I am well knowD, being one of the oldest residents. (Signed) Robebt Bould. (Subsequent orders received from Mr Bould.) A PLEASURE TO WORK WITH. " Millbank," Waiwera South, Match 22, 1897. I have very great pleasure in certifying that the double-furrow Cockshutb plough I purchased from you laat year has given me the greatest satisfaction. It is £ positive pleasure to work with ib instead of the old cumbersome plough of the and type. I ploughed ■ome 70 acres, mostly on a gritty subsoil, and the wear on the socks is scarcely perceptible ; they are good for another 140 acres. The only fault I have with it is that for ploughing tough lea the mouldboards are rather short, but that is a fault easily remedied. I suppose your conaignment just to hand will have larger boards ; if so, I shall try and get a pair from you for use in lea ground only. (Signed) William Littlejohn. (Long mouldboards received this season.)
