Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. This preparation in known throughout the civilised world to be far superior to anything yet discovered for eradicating tick, scab or lice on sheep, goats or cattle. It"ia sufficient to say that One Shilling Packet of the Powder dissolved in two 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 to farm stock. By its use the farmer can secure the health of his stock at the rate of -|d per head per annum. In all large Sheep Districts in Australia, South America, and Africa, no other preparation 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 Gardener in Europe, America, and the British possessions in all parts of the Globe. One 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 inaocts 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 used in a dry state for the destruction of rata and mice. A little sprinkled on a slice of bread and butter, or a piece of meat or cheese is sought after greedily by those vermin, while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch 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 .ntercolonial Exhibition at Melbourne, 1866, besides numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite uf the niedioa.' faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed CHARLES NEATS, Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent fur Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation car. be obtained in parcels Price —One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings, Liberal reduction allowed to tie trade.

The Cutting Ap,tua is acknowledge to bo immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvester, finoer bar is of angle steel and the fingers of wrought iron. The Platform Belt i within half an inch of the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey the test crop in good raannor. The Butter Belt employed on some machines is a ety rapidly running arrangement, and is superseded in the Chimpion by an iron is Packer, durable.and effective. The Main Wheel is ye.y high, has a broad tiro, the bearing in the centre is 16in long, is vastly superior to the mam wheel of other binder, and will run a dozen years, and not cant over or get loose and y The Elavating Belts on other harvesters are nearly perpenc leular, on the tnpion, however, the angle is very alight, requiring much less power to elevate »rain, and it ia not necessary to run the belts so close together, the heads of the a are not broken off or shelled out. These features are only found in the Chamand every farmer will realise their importance. The Binding Mechanism is a bination of the best know systems, and is thoroughly perfected. I/ 10 makers of Champion control the Appleby pa ents, and all harvesters using this sy-tem pay i a royalty.
