FOOT-ROT IN SHEEP.

Present' indications point to the.probability of there being a, considerable amount of foot-rot among sheep whenthe autumn growth sets in,, and it may not be out of place to give fanners a fow hints as to the best means of coping with the disease. The. principal point to remember is, that with foot-rot "a stitch in time saves nine." If taken in the early stages, and treated with a suitable solution, it' is .very'easily kept in check.' On swampy land; where it is a constant source of trouble/ it is advisable to run tho sheep through- tho trough regularly during. the' spring/and- autumn months,, when the disease is more prevalent. Having decided to do this, the important thing is to eet the .right mixture for.the. )>'urpos6.' We have no hesitation in recommending .-White's Foot-rot Cure as being a stiro preventative and safe cure. iTKis^mixture has proved itself a boon to thousands of farmers all over the" Dominion.'

America is popularly supposed to lie the home of 'prygrc.-Mve funning. I'or point of size' the States and .our Dominionl are as an elephiuit to a bulldog, but in comparison with the population New Zealand I farmers arc every. whit as progressive as their Yankee cousins. ]f proof of tins were wonted one need, but point to' the great uuinlur of dairy-fanners in tin's country who have- installed Milking Plants and "Anderson" Oil' Engines, as well as modern implements of every description. . The'increasing sales of "Anderson" Engines bear-out the'.contention', that these Newv Zealand-made engines are specially suited to local conditions.' The. mere fact that their money is kept iii the country, induces many farmers to buy "Andersons." JJut, in'.addition to this, "Anderson*' Engines are superior in all respects to. imported makes, and spare parts can always bo obtained without delay.
