This preparation is known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to any thing yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It is sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in twc buckets of water will wash Eighteen Sheep. This admits the most economial, as well as the simplest plan in the world for the cure and prevention of diseases incident tc farm stock. By its use the firmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of |C per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other pre. paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for the purpose of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardenei in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. On< packet dissolved in two buckets of water will serve for over half an acre of ground and will effectually prevent blight and exclude all other garden pests. As a Vermin Killer it is an unrivalled specific. Its use will speedily exterminate all household pests, such as bugs, cockroaches, fleas on animals, moths in furs, and insects on birds of all kinds, from the canary to the poultry. For this purpose simpl and plain directions are given on every packet. The powder can also be uped in a dry state for the destruction of rats and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheose is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touffi it in any form, and are therefore perfectly safe. The above marvellous discovery has gained for Herman Bros, and Co., London, the silver medal at the jntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 186&, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite uf the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NBATE, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car be obtained in parcels, Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings.

NEW GJOD3 IN EVERY DEPARTMENT, JUST FUR CAPES, m'HE CHAMPION CORD BINDER WARDER, BUSHNELL AND GLESSNER, Manufacturers, Springfield, Ohio, and Chicago, Illinois, The Champion Binder is a maoliine made for Hard Service, and upon this p« eminent fact the reputation of all Champion Machines is founded. The Cutting Aj paratus is acknowledge to be immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvestei The finger bar is of angle steel and the fingers of wrought iron. The Platform Be runs within half an inch of the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey th shortest crop in good manner. The Butter Belt employed on some machines is rickety, rapidly running arrangement, and is superseded in the Champion by an iro Butts Packer, durable and effective. The Main Wheel is very high, has a broad tin and the bearing in the centre is 16in long, is vastly superior to the main wheel < any other binder, and will run a dozen years, and hot cant over or get loose an shaky. The Elavat\ng Belts on other harvesters are nearly perpendicular, on th Champion, however, the angle is very slight, requiring much less power to elevai the grain, and it is not necessary to run the belts so close together, the heads of th grain are not broken off or shelled out. These features are only found in the Chan pion, and every farmer will realise their importance. The Binding Mechanism is combination of the best know systems, and is thoroughly perfected. The makers ( the Champion control the Appleby pa’ents, and all harvesters using this system pa them a royalty. The Champion contains other improvements too numerous to pa ticularise, and must be seen to be appreciated. The Expensive Materials used in the Construction of this Harvester make it th Most Costly of any made, but it is decided to MAKE THE PRICE THE SAME AS THOSE ALREADY IN THE MARKE r AND SPECIAL TERMS Will be made to Farmers ordering lor Next Season.
