AND Very littlo need be said about this implex ment. It is well known and appreciated, and neier a season has yet passed without many a farmer ordering too late, and being obliged to go without it. There is only one pricej £3 10s, which includes the finest drill plough in existence ; no' extra charge. Look at these splendid mould boards, which are supplied with every cultivator, not as an extra, but as part, of -the outfit of the splendid SEVENTY-SHILLING line. It pays farmers to read their newspapers nowadays, to see what value they can get by going to tho . right place for it. ■- - There are two diamond tines on 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 there is no drilling and weakening of the frame,, and they may, in consequence, be kept at any position along the steel frame bar, and at any depth. The diamond parts are all reversible, so that there is provision' for double the usual wear. This implement has no equal, and is supplied this season with steel handles instead of wood, as shown in the " cut," and with much greats* capacity. You want to see this implement. My New Shipment of Ploughs is just forward, and it would be ■wise to order a Dux Hoe early. "DUX" SINGLE FURROW. This plough j s a daisy. It costs £6 10s, which includes double leading wheels and a 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 less than their first cost, after doing a couple of seasons' work with them. "DUX" HARROWS. ' These steel implements show users relatively the same advantage as the " Dux " Ploughs. The time has gone by for hauling obsolete machinery over 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 spectacle ,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 " harrows are considerably lighter .in dead weight and in draught, are 5 tines, deep, and as efficient as excellent workmanship and material cau make them. Price is 25s per Leaf, trees i i eluded, in sets of 3, 4, or 5 loaves.
