[By Special #ji^B Appointment to Her Majesty Jgsp|i||£K THE Q UEEN<:I Odams's Manures Have Been Used on the Eoyal Farms for Forty Years. laving been recently appointed New Zealand agent for the Odams Manure and Chemical Company, I have pleasure in inviting the attention of Farmers Agriculturists to the exceptional merit of «^ir productions. No fertilisers are better known in th .old country than Odams's, and a glance at the following results will prove their fitness for this colony. The tests were made by Mr J. Bayne, Director of Agriculture .at the Canterbury Agricultural College, and the results which were laid before the Boaidot Governors, and embodied in a .report to the •Weekly Press of September 21, are as carefully ascertained and official as it is possib'e to get them.

Soluble Phosphate of Lime. 3 to 5 per cent. Undissolved Phosphate of Lime. Odams's Superphosphate is of exceptional richness, and maintains its reputation at Home and abroad as a potent fertiliser. For many years some hundreds of tons of this Standard manure have been imported for use on Mr John Grigg's celebrated Longbeach estate, and for admixture Avith animal organic material by some of the chief freezing companies of the colony. Indents will be received for shipments for next season s delivery, and these will be collected and lumped to secure the lowest possible freights. 'All Superphosphates double-bagged in 2cwt bags. OD&R3S'S SHEEP DIP. These Dips, which are in powder (poisonous) and fluid (non-poisonous) are the most effective and valuable preparations known to breeders of repute in the old country, where for nearly 50 years the Odams Company have been purveyors of dip to the Royal farms of England. Originally formed from amongst the yeomanry, its directors to-day are all noted breeders and connoisseurs of stock ; and farmers are safe and can rely upon the judgment and honesty of their own class upon the %oard.
