A BRILLIANT RECORD. Scottish and Canadian Champion. THE new ploughs sent us by COCKSHUTT and CO. this last season have proved such an advance on their predecessors that o\ir j stock is again rumnog low. Farmers wanting to Bave Time, Money, and Horse-flesh must use the IMPROVED DUX— wh : ch, having long mouldboards and varying width of furrow, is now called the "KANGAROO." The record of this plough is unique. In eight ploughing matches in Canada during the year 189S the makers of these ploughs secured 37 FIRST- PRIZES | and 32 other prizes, and in Scotland the following victories speak for themselves. CHAMPION OF SCOTLAND. This is the Plough that beat all- comers for the Scottish Championship at the Dumfries and Kirkcudbrightshire trials in their first EeaeoD, gaining First and Second Prizes, beating RanBorne, Howard, Oliver, Storey, and all-comers. Messrs Jack and* Son, of May bole, took up the j agency, and sold 2000 to 3000 of these Ploughs in their fir«t season in the most conservative country in the world.

Last week we published excellent local testi- ; mony, and this week we refer to successes at j Home. We have set the price so low (£lO 10a ; doublefurrow, and £15 15s for three furrow) that ; we have no money or time for local exhibitions or j trials. If the testimony of the users who are well j known men, and the easily authenticated successes elsewhere are not sufficient, and farmers still demand trials, we will give them upon a guarantee of expenses. We do not shrink from j trials — quite the reverse, and will exhibit anywhere that farmers require provided they pay us the actual cost, whether sale eventuates or ' ■whether it does not. We have set our price so low that we absolutely require this in every case. Had we asked £15 15s and £21 we should have had a margin and been well able to give trie exhibitions requested, and still deliver better value than any firm in the colony. As ife | is, we say: "There's the plough at tbe price' n&med. We will give you any trial you want if you'll pay for it." If 'farmers would but recognise this principle of getting their implements at their v*lue, and not plus the cost of scouring the country and shouting for all hands, they would secure their implements' at a third lower prices than those ruling.
