The Tents.

THE CANTERBURY -FARMI^RS - CO-OPKItATIYF.-.A&SGCIATION. As usual, the. Tarmeis' Cooperative Association are,well to the front with a Targe display. - !First in point of interest to farmers is no doubt the isplendid assortment of seeds. In clovers (white and red), alsike aid eoyrgrass, there are many varieties, both colonial grown and imported. The vetches, ryeeprn. and.mangold seeds are' all 'locally -grown, as well as the perrennial and Italian ryegrass. What seems rather a strange, seed to sowin Canterbury—gbrse- seed--is also imported by this firni," and'.'it-'S; claimed will grow feed 011'-iCTOundT * oUKi'wisis barren. Of manure's,' there "are. Japanese' "superphosphates and.lJ(>neauS£7'Lyell aiid AngloContinental, also"Rockland turnip, manure and special mixtures. '. • Anglers will find th? show of fishing tackle, including Melvill's netfi. and Moore's flies and casts, worthy Mif attention." Of" groceries and general ironmongery, of Sherwin Williams house paint, and various sheep branding oils, and Lucas' motor oils, there is a fine show. The Great American and" Caldwell's lawn mowers also find a place, as do.-.* the latest type of "Perfection" oil cooking stoves. Harness of \ all, makes, English and colonial, riding 'saddles and cart saddk-s, harnefs dressings and hunting requeues, occupy a - conspicuous place. Among the domestic novelties is.a. patent dish washer, such as, it is stated, is vsed on the American fleet. It will be readily welcomed by housewives,, as it should be a great labour-stiver. In. operatiou it is simple as in design ingenious, the diohes being washed and dried, automatically. Myers* compound pumps, and Eiffel Tower glass churns, and tennis material all suggest a ' needle to an anchor" stock illustrated in the tent of this enterprising Association. ..■...' W. W. WADE. Leather goods of solid • and substantial make for everybody's use fill the tent of Mr Wade. Riding saddles, all colonial made, occupy the-pride of place, and in a show cass> are- to be seen a nice hit. of small goods, such as purses; peggy bags, etc., suitable for Christinas presents. A tsjiecialty ib a solid leather suit ease, and what is claimed to be*! the largest assortment of leggings ever sjhbwn in South Canterbury, is to be. found, in this tent. Th«w are well worthy of more'thah a passing glance. Travelling trunks are there a'so in many styks and many 1 siz*s, and all are of the same durable appearance. CANTERBURY FROZEN MEAT AND EXPORT COMPANY.

A number of skin mate lend variety to the display, in which potted 'liieats and neaV.fou! oil occupy a prominent place, . SUTTON'S; SEEDS. Messrs Tothill, Ltd'.,', chief representatives for Sutton and Sons, Reading, England, are showing a. very comprehensive exhibit of grass, root, and flower seeds. Suttons are well known aU ; oyer the world for the quality of their seeds, .and'us they fully recommend every varitey of seed offered in their list as the best of its particular kind, both us regards pedigree and high germinating power, there is nothing bettt-r to be desired. .. Lines which specially interest farmers at th« pru=en: time are Stitton't; Magnum Bonum Swede (nearly blight proof),, .prize-winner yellowglobe mangold, and broadleaf Eseex rape. Hardeners, both amateur and professional, will find a visit to this stand well worth paying. The local agentu, the Canterbury FaniKiiH* Co-operative Association, will be pleased to give anv information desired. NATIONAL MORTGAGE AND AOENCY COMPANY. The National Mortgage, ami Agency Coni|>any have a largt- exhibit, an outstanding feature of which is the Samson windmill, which won tile - gold medal at the . St. Lou'k exhibition. A patent double gearing causes the strain of pumping to Ik- borne on both bearings, thereby reducing the jKissibilt'ty of breakdown*; to a minimum. The Globe cream separator, which, it is claimed, fit the situpUtst iu construction of auy'inude. is also tdiown. The sepaiating mechanism is" tlt.> patent link-blade nytiiciu, which saves a great deal of labour in cleaning, fs the plaUti are all attached to the one shaft.

The goods nie tastefully arranged, and their nic-ly-got-up labels arittit attention. Islington fertilisers for heavy and light- land,, for turnip*, and mangolds as well as bonedust, superphosphate and si>ec-ial mixtures, are well to.the,front too. and the tvxhibit should go a long way towards impressing upon Ilia public t'»>' iidvisability of encouraging local industry, by puichac'ing the productions this company. ni'lN NESS AND LE CRF.N, On the .north «ido of tht grounds i» to be found Messrs CJuinneua and Le Cren's tent, wiiuh includes.« well selected assortment of farm requisite*, very nitvly arAmong them are Little's Dips and the Aeme leather oils. lit-conjunction with this stand there is an interesting crhibit. in Wats<iirs patent fenoe standard, the inventioji of two Christchurch engin serv.
