HAWERA SHOW.

THE OPENING. DAY. (By Telegraph.-Special Correspondent.) ■ ■'•" _ Hawera, November 20. In common with most of the more prominent A. and P. gatherings, the entry for tho Egmont A. and P. Association's show, which opened at Hawera to-day in perfect weather, is-,a record one, and in all 2077 entries were received/as against 1330 last vear, and 1567 in 1910. The heaviest section is the horses, of which there i is a very attractive display from the district and vicinity. Only one championship was awarded to-day, that tor the thoroughbred mare. This went to \V. A. Wilkie's Lady Jewell. . Tho showing of cattle, particularly m the Ayrshire and Jersey sections, was very good,-, and but for the fact that two of the prominent Holstein breeders who had intended . competing wore prevented from doing so on account of the shortage or labour, and another through illness, the cattle penned would havo been a record for the show and perhaps for tho North Island. The excellent Jerseys and Ayrshire entries are in part accounted for by the fact that the breed societies championships in these seconds were. allotted to Hawera this year. In all there were overJ3o Avrshires shown in the purebred division, the Ayrshire Breeders' Association championship for cows being won by C. Kartets-'l'uir.Mnid-of lnglewood, which was champion at Carterton, Palmerston, and Wanganui, as well-as at this show. The society's championship for .bulls was carried off by J. Ky-c's Prince Bonus of' Glonaru. There, were over 70 purebred Jerseys penned, and the Jersey Breeders' Association's championship for cows was won by A. A. AVard's Miro, whilst W. A'. Harkncss carried off the association's championship for bulls, with the imported Roseals Sultan..A South Island breeder, H. G. B.AVatsoniOf Taitapu, entered some ol his Jerseys, and scored a first and a second. .: There was a fairly strong display, of. Shorthorns,, both champion tickets in this section going to Mr. A.A.Turner, of Elthara. Herefords were' all in the name of J. Forbes, of Normanby, Mr. F. Moore, of Kaiwi, bein? unable to ■ enter . any ■ of his fine stock. •Mr. Forbes was awarded both, championships. Holsteins, as stated above, were not /what they should bo, on account, of the'absence of such 'breeders as Mr. Newton King, Mr. AT. I. Lovelock, and Mr. M'Donald. Both champion tickets were carried off by 'J. Imlah, of Kaupokonu. The only, breeders of Aberdeen Ajigus. represented were Mr. Fred Moore, of AVanganui, and Mr. E. G. Russell, of Nukuuiaru, who 'divided championship honours. There was not a great deal of variety in the entries in the sheep classes. Messrs.-" J. D. Hughes and F. A. Bremer were the sole exhibitors in Lincolns, whilst Messrs. A. S. Tonks and J. Dowthwait and the Moumahaki State Farm were., the only breeders represented in the Border Lei- ■ costers competition. "'ln Romneys thero was more variety, and Keener and Ellis Bros., the Moore Hunter Estate, and the Moumahaki State Farm shared the Southdown pens, and Shropshire Downs wore all in the name of A. A. Piper. Grade sheep; fat sheep, and freezers swelled the sheep list considerably.As usual, pigs were not numerous, and the judging of this section was; a light task. ■ Dogs only numbered' 73 last year; the ontrics have.risen to 170 this year, although the competition in several, of the classes'is. disappointing. .-.'>■ .

A good deal of interest -was taken in the 'champion butter-fat competition and' the competition for the best cow for supplying a cheese ' factory. The conditions for the butter-fat test provided that tlio cows should be in the custody of the association for. nine days the test to be made on the last four days and points to be computed as under:—One-tenth' for every pound of milk in the period, ■ and 25 points for every pound of butter-fat produced. 'The results aro:—

Tho judging was carried out under the supervision of officers of tho Dairying Division of tho Department of Agriculture. • The present year has. been peculiarly favourable to tho spread of ticks and lico among . sheep, and has proved tho best possible test of the many Sheep Dips in use. . White's Dip, whicih has been a genuine "success, for. nearly, a quarter' . -'of a century,' has again come out on top. The best proof of this is that while many sheepmen who have used other preparations are inquiring for something more reliable, the old users of White's are keener than ever. Those who have not experienced tho splendid results from its uso should lose no time in making up .their, minds to. give it a trial this coming year. Mr. G. Coldhaui Williams, of Mangakuri, H. 8., writing under date of 2nd November, 1912, says:'"l was very pleased with the results of your dip last year, and received a special bulk report from Buxton, Eonald and Co., who used these 'ivords: 'A splendidly, developed staple—condition good, and also the colour.'" Mr. Williams'has been a consistent user of White's Dip for 19 years. Further particulars from Win; White, Sole Manufacturer, Otane, Hawke's Bay.—Advt. .

The prosperity of tho Dominion., depends upon the success of individual citizens. A dairy farmer, or anyone else for that matter, whose balanco is on the wrong side m the-'ledger is to. a certain, extent a drag upon tho country. As. a rule there are several contribiitins ', causes to a.farmer's fiiihvro, and in many cases.tho principal reason is, the heavy working expense of old-fashioned methods.. Visit any farnr you like where an np-to-dale milking plant and "Anderson's" Oil Engine are installed, and thoro you will see prosperity, simply because working expenses have, been reduced to a minimum. . Why, the cost of running an Engine for a year is hut a few shillings. And in that timo it will save you pounds' in hard cash. An "Anderson" Oil •■Engine is so simple in. construction and built so well •that there is no risk of its 'going out of order. There is no, better, engine on the market for driving milking plants, Remember !that," and order an "Anderson" with your machine. Ask Andersons, Ltd. Christehurch, for particulars.—Advt. '"' : Tf you could only see "Victor" Vats in the course of construction ypn would readily perceive the--why and 'wherefore of their success. The excellence of the materials; splendid workrhanship, extreme care in every detail, along with the distinctive "Victor" features place there Vats ahead of all other makes. Orders filled promptly.
