FARMERS, AHOY! >THE "DUX" MONEY SAVERS. I have shown from week to week how uscrr certify that the "Dux" ploughs save themselves in a season, and the result has been a record sale all over New Zealand. .Every testimonial published" has been franked .by the signatures of well-known, reliable agriculturists, and the result has been that farmer! have responded by ordering very liberally, and by in turn advocating the uee of th« " 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 loader, and that iscock of the walk *o-day in - Scotland, Canada, this Colony, and elsewhere. The up-to-date, goahead farmer studies his pocket and his teapi. in first' cost, in draught, and in geneVal utility and up-keep, the man who uses the ! " Dux '.\ saves money. It is not a stubble plough only, but equally suitable for lea, tussock, and turnip ground. N,, "DUX" HARROWS. These steel implements show users' relatively the same advantage as the "Dux" j>loughs. The time has gone by for hauling obsolete machinery over the soil. This was well enough iv' 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 nearer the world's market, and v/ho 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 spectacle to watch a tejun 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 " Duy " harro.ws ara considerably lighter in dead weight. and in draught, are 5 tines, deep, and as efficient! as excellent workmanship and material cat. make them. Price- is 25s per Leaf, trees -included, in sets of 3, 4 or 5 leaveE. "DUX" SINGLE FURROW. This plough is a daisy. It costs £6 "10i which includes double leading wheels and m revolving swivel coulter. There are no extra charges. It is lighter in draught than any similar type of plough, and users have actually auctioned.these for a very few shillings loss than their first cost, after doing a couple of seasons' work with them. "DUX" HOE AND DRILL PLOUGH. Very 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 lute, arcl '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 jin each side of the frame, or one more than in the "Planet Jun." as well as one weeder blade and one rear blade — ■ seven in all. These are held in their places by clamps, so that the^e is no drilling and weakening of the frame. The diamond parta 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 Beavon, or other respectabl* implement makers. Call .and see" it for your* self, and throw your old ones into the ditch. NEW PIONEERS. Since last announcement the following present 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; Messri Hille's, Stmchans; J. Kerr's, Middlemarch; T. Ramsay's, Hyde; W. Eraser's, Lovell's 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 a trial. The company was formed from amongst the yeomanry of England in 1855, and its 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 pheepowner giving these dips a trial will ever have cause to regret the experiment. An 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 kegs (non-poisonous 'fluid)"; and in • cafes of 3do2r, 6doz, and 12doz packets of powder( poisonous). Each gallon of Odams's fluid is sufficient for lOOgal of dip, and each packet for 25gal. Ka- * member that these dips are more highly concentrated, more effective, and cheaper in tna end than any others in the market. \PPaOXIMATE COST. ONE HA'PENNY PER SHEEP. : Special prices to flockowners dipping larg* 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 Odaros's Fluid Dip you sent me, and I am pleased to be able tc report most favourably of it. It is fatal to insect life in any animal, and as 'a sheep di* it is not surpassed by the best I have tried, and is 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 nic« afterwards." H.R.H. THE PRINCE OF WALES : In regular use on the farms at Sandringhauv A NEW ZEALANDER'S EXPERIENCE. FRANKTON, January 6, 1899. Please send me 80gal or 90gal Odams'a Dip. I have been using it now for three ae*-. sons, and am well pleased with it.
