* TWENTY-FIRST YEAR. : (By Telegrapii — Special Reporter.) '/' ■'• -.'■' Palmerstpn North, January,29 . Woodville came of ago to-day as a show 'centre, the -'twenty-first annual gathering of tke Busk Districts A.'and P. -'Association' (wkich was held oh tke racecourse) being voted a success on all hands,.' Tho. weather was fine, and the attendance large for a district show, and the gathering'does not profess tb~bc more than this,. 'The skow.is undoubtedly an attractive draw, but it,is rather a pity that some of! the'classes'were'not bettor'filled. The 'ring* competitions brought.forward heavy' ''eiitries, : and; were' the '.popular .feature,, while tke hack, harness, and pony classes also filled up exceedingly well:' Draughts, however; w r ero not much in evidence, and the purebred cattle section was weak, the only competition being in Jerseys, and, even in -this'class,; thero were; only, five different breeders showing;; ..Crossbred dairy, cattle gavo a'.muck better competi-. tion.'one class having no fewer, 'than six- 1 iteen entries, ':'■■- ' ■ ■"'■',.;,' v. .. '.'. i Crossbred' and fat, sheep . made •'.' a ' good "showing.■. The. Lincoln':; and 'Ilomriey ,Ma,rsk:pens'were, well filled ".with* attractive strick,-but tke other breeds'were sadly 'neglected. In common -with tke: bigger 'shows, pig-breeders failed .to respond to the attractions held out for their,stock. Before the close of tljo show the president (Mr. S. Bolton) took tho opportunity of 1 presenting .three cups won during tke day. Tkese were tke Savage' Cup: to Ut.-W. 11. Gaijford, tke Bachelor ■ Cnp .to ■■ Mr.; H." Hassell, and" Mr. W. H.

The 'installation of a reliable Milkingl;Machine' and-an "Anderson" Oil Eiigino will help to turn n hopeless! struggling farmer into a man who. sees better fortune.in the near future. "Ander.son", Engines; aro specially built in' New" Zealand for' farmers arid have proved-invaluable on: many dairy' farms all over the Dominion:, They are. very simple, cost little to vrup:, anil drive ..Milking Machines'-without the least trouble. Write to Anderson's, Ltd., Christchurchj for full particulars,.—Advt. ' Dairy farmers, who, Micawber-like, wait for "something to turn 1 up": without taking 'an. active part in the "turning up" ■ process, are not likely'to "set thoThames on fire." Action and foresight are necessary >.if. you would ibutter. your fortunes. This has been proved conclusively >by farmers,who cool" their milk"in Parton's: Coolers. . Milk cooled by this mean's-,is in* perfect condition; when it reaches the factory, where it receives highest prices; Ask Albert J. Parton, Carterton, about his Milk Coolers.—Advt. '. '-'• i
