The prosperity of the Dominion depends upon the success of individual citizens. A dairy farmer, or anyone else for that matter, whose balance is on the wrong side or the ledger is to a certain extent a drag upon the country. As. a rul'e there are several contributing causes to a farmer's failure, and in many cases the principal reason is the heavy working expense of old-fashioned methods. Visit any farm you like where an up-to-date milking plant and "Anderson's" Oil Engine are installed, and there you will see prosperity, simply because working expenses have been reduced to a minimum. Why, the cost of running an . "Anderson" Engine for a year is but a few shillings. And in that time.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., Christchurch, for particulars.—Advt.
