FARMERS, AHOY! THE " DUX " MONEY SAVERS. I have,shown from week to week how user* certify that the "Dux" ploughs sava themselves in a season, and the result has been » record sal© all over New Zealand. Every testimonial published has been franked by the signatures of well-known, reliable agriculturists, and the result has been that farmen have responded by ordering very liberally, and by in turn advocating the use of the " Dux " to their neighbours. Don't be tempted into buying anything "just as good." In reality it does not exist. There is only one "Dux" or leader, and that is cook of the walk to-day in Scotland, Canada, this Colony, and elsewhere. The up-to-date, goahead farmer studies his pocket and his team. In first cost, in draught, and in general utility and up-keep, the man who' uses the "Dux" saves money. It is not a etubbk plough only, but equally suitable for lea, tussock', and turnip ground. "DUX" HARROWS. These steel implements show users relatively the same advantage as the " Dux " ploughs. The time has gone by for hauling obsolete machinery ovei- the soil. This was well enough in . the age of wooden beams, crude' iron, and bullock teams, but at the present day when New Zealand farmers are called upon to .compete with growers in the Argentine who are nearer the world's market, and who are the most go-ahead people living in the use of light steel -machinery, this colony must not handicap itself in the race. It is not an edifying epeotacle to watch a, team of heavy draughts shovelling along with a huge conglomeration of iron riding over the ground instead of going into it, and doing what is expected of it. The "Dux" harrowß are considerably lighter in dead weight and in draught; are 5 tines, deep, and as efficient as excellent workmanship and material can make them. Price i 3 25s per Leaf, trees in eluded, in sets of 3, 4 or 5 leaves. * " DUX " SINGLE FURROW. This plough is a daisy. It costs £6 10ft which includes double leading wheels and » revolving »swivel coulter. There are no extra charges. It is lighter in draught than anj similar type of plough, and users' have actu•ally auctioned these for a very few shillings less than their first cost, after doing a couple of seasons' work with them. "DUX" HOE -AND DRILL PLOUGH. Tory little need be said about this implement. It is well known and appreciated, and never a season has yet passed without many a farmer ordering too late, and being obliged to go without it. There is only one price* £3 10s, which includes the finest drill plough in existence; no extra charges. "'There ara two diamond tines on each side of the frame, or one more than in the " Planet Jun." a< well as one weeder blade and one rear blade— seven in all. These are held in their places by olamps, so that there is no drilling and weakening of the frame. The diamond par! a are all reversible, so that there is provision, for double the usual -wear. This implement has no equal, and it can be bought from any of our agents, or from Messrs Reid and Gray* Andrews and Beaven, or other respectable implement makers. Call and see it for your self, and throw your old ones into the ditch. NEW PIONEERS. Since last announcement the following pre* sent season's ploughs have gone to, and may be seen at, Mr R. Grieves, Bushy Park, Mataura; Mr H. Buokland's, Waikouaiti station; Mr H. Howard's, Blenheim; Meusni Hille's, Strachans; J. Kerr's, Middlemarch V. T. Ramsay's, Hyde; W. Fraser's, Lovell* Flat. No reference is- made to ploughs going into districts where there were others before ODAMS'S SHEEP DIP. Now that the sheep-dipping season approaches, owners will do well to consider the claims of Odams's Dips, and to give them n trial. The company wa« formed from amongst the yeomanry of England in 1855, and it* proud boast is that it was directed then and still is by some of the principal breeders in Great Britain. " Odams " is a household word. "Once used, ' always used," and no sheepowner giving these dips a trial will eye* have cause to regret the experiment. Ai\_ improved fleece, absolute freedom from animal life, scab, and the worry of flies are desiderata not to be lightly esteemed. Put up in lgal| 2gal, sgal, and lOgal drums, and 20gal keg« (non-poiaonouc fluid) ; and in cases of 3dozr, 6doz, and 12d07- packets of powder( poisonous). Each gSUon of Odams's fluid is sufficient foe lOOgal of dip, and each packet for 25gal. Re» member that these dips are more highly concentrated, more effective, and cheaper m thJ end than any others in the market. APPROXIMATE COST, ONE HA'PENNY PER SHEEP. Special prices to floekowners dipping large flocks. ANDREW BLAKE, Farm Steward to Her Majesty the Queen, Osborne, Cowes, 1.W., Writes 18th September, 1893: — " I have been waiting to see the result of a thorough test of the Odams's Fluid Dip you sent me, and I am pleased to be able to report most favourably of it. It is fatal to insect life in any animal, and as a sheep dip it is not surpassed by the best I have tried, and i 8 easily mixed. The wool retains a nice, mellow touch that is not to be felt after some dips, and the ewes are not disturbed by fliea afterwards." H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES t' In regular use on th« farms at SandringhattU A NEW ZEALANDER'S EXPERIENCE FRANKTON, January 6, 1899. Please send mo 80gal or 90ral Odams'ft Dip. I have been using it now for three eea« anna, and am well pleased with it. ' - T. M'BRIDB.
