A visit to any of the big A. and P. Shows is an eye-opener to a good many farmers. In by-gone days scornful unbelief would have greeted the exhibitors who claim that their special machines or devices save time, labour, and money. But nowadays farmers are more. openminded, and can generally see the practi-' cal, profitable side of n proposition without much effort. That's why so many dairy farmers are going in for Milking Machines and "Anderson" Oil Engines. The far-seeing man knows very well that hand-milking is far mom expensive than the modern method of machine milking. And those who have installed "Anderson Engines give their economy, power, dependability, simplicity, and general usefulness unequivocal prniso. An .."Anderson" Oil Engine should bo ordered with your Milking Machine. "Write t.o Andorsons, Ltd., Christchuroh, for full particulars.—Advt.

In the. midst of. wars and rumours of wars the dairying section of the' Dominion still preserves the "even tonor of its way." That the "Victor" Cheese Vat is a "means" of providing extra profits to tho fariier has been proved conclusively by tho largo number of orders filled this year by tho maker. Many factories have installed the "Victor" Vats. Full particulars from Albert J. Parton, Registered Plumber, Carterton.-^Advt.
