Our country readers in Canterbury and other parts of the Colony, who are about to purchase farming implements, would be consulting their interests by calling on that well-known and longestablished firm, Messrs P. and D. Duncan, of Christchurch and Ashburton, whose agn'cultu»al machinery has an Australasian reputation. Mes.°rs P. and D. Duncan have from time to time received many awards and flattering notices at agricultural shows and exhibitions for the excellence of their exhibits, but the most practical proof of public appreciation is to be found in the increased demand which come 3 from all parts of New Zealand, and even the other colonies. Their ploughs, drills, cultivators and. harrows are noted for excellence of finish and durability. — „.%

The attention of our readers in Canterbury is directed to the notice of Mr. E. O'Connor, of the Catholic Book Depot, Christchurch, which appears elsewhere in this issue. Mr. O'Connor has been engaged in importing Catholic literature and objects of devotion for close on twenty years, and as he deals directly with the large publishing firms in the United Kingdom and America, he is in a position to supply goods at moderate prices. He quotes specially low rates for the Catechism approved of by the Plenary Council of Australasia, and which is now in general use throughout this Colony. There is a large and superior stock of statues at the Book Depot, inclnding those of the Pacred Heart, the Blessed Virgin, and St. Joseph, and as these have been procured from the leading Continental houses," patrons may rest assured of getting the most artistic work, at prices which will stand the test of comparison. — *%
