FORD MOTOR-CARS.

One of the. attractions at the Palmerston Show will be the special exhibit of Ford motor-cars. The history of the Ford Motor Company is a record of practical achievements. The Ford Factory is acknowledged by all experts from all parts of the world to be a model of equipment and organisation, the most compact and efficient' automobile plant in existence. Tho strong financial position of the Ford Company, which is the admiration of the business world, enhances to a distinct degree the possibilities of producing a car of tho highest quality for the lowest.price, and makes it possible to obtain results which, would otherwise be absolutely out of the question.

As a rule potatoes require deep ploughing, and the soils on which they succeed best allow of it. Always practice line breeding. Carefully select the mole end female to bo kept for breeding purposes, with the nbleet in* view nf keeping the type pure. This will result in strengthening the strain. If in the case of the Jersey a greater How of milk is desired, care should be exercised in the selection of the bull vhos-j
