Herman’s WORLD-RENOWNED SHEEP WASH AND CELEBRATED VERMIN DESTROYER. 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 cattle. It is 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 f trmer 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 pro* paration is used. The vermin destroyer is also invaluable for Hie purpt of the Horticulturist; and it is most extensively used by the Flower and Kitchen Gardener n 1 Europe, America, and the British possessions in all partp of the Globe. One parket 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 fan, 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 used In • 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 cheese is sought after greedily by those venalA* while the household pets such as cats and dogs will not touch it in any form, and OC 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, boaldeti numerous testimonials from Government officia and all the elite of the medical faculty in Europe. HERMAN BROS. & CO. beg to announce that they have appointed OHARLES NEATE,. Chemist and Druggist, East street, their sole Agent for Ashburton and vicinity, and from him the preparation can be obtained in parcels. Price—One Shilling; or six packets for Five Shillings.

The Ctiampion Binder is a machine made for Hard Service, and npon this pre eminent fact the reputation of all Champion Machines is founded. The Cutting Ap paratua is acknowledge to be immeasurably superior to that on any other Harvester. The finger bar is of angle steel and the fingers of wrought iron. The Platform Belt runs within half an inch of the knife, enabling the Champion to cut and convey the shortest crop in good manner. The Butter Belt employed on Mme_ machines is a rickety, rapidly running arrangement, and is superseded in the Champion ty an iron ; Butts Packer, durable and effective. The Main Wheel is very high, has a broad tire, and the bearing in the centre is 16in long, ia* vastly superior to the main wheel of any other binder, and will run a dozen years, and not cant over or get loose and shaky. The Elavating Belts on other harvesters are nearly perpendicular, on the Champion, however, the angle is very slight, requiring much less power to elevate the grain, and it is not necessary to run the belts so close together, the heads of the grain are not broken offer shelled out. These features are only found-in the Champion, and every farmer will realise their importance. The Binding Mechanism is a combination of the best know systems, and is thoroughly perfected. The makers of the Champion control the Appleby patents, and all harvesters nsing this system pay them a royalty. The Champion contains other improvements too numerous to particularise, and must be seen to be appreciated. The Expensive Materials used in the Construction of this Harvester make it the Most Costly of any made, but it is'decided to MAKE THE PRICE THE SAME AS THOSE ALREADY IN THE MARKET: AND SPECIAL TERMS Will bp made to Farmers ordering for Next Season.
