Association will open its gates for tho tenth annual winter fixture which has become so familiarly knoivii throughout the country as the '•National Dairy Show." It is no idle prophecy to say that during the four days that the event will be open to the puolic,'tens of thousands of interested visitors will pass through the entrance turnstiles. As. usual, every detail that is calculated to ensure the success of the show and the comfort and convenience of all concerned, lias been faithfully attended to by the responsible officers, and t'he various special committees, whose years of experience have made them experts in tho management of gatherings of this kind. Each succeeding year marks a distinct advance in the scope and function of this winter exhibition. , This may bo gauged from tho fact that this year's entries, covering all sections, are double those of two years ago. The most notable of the new features in the 1913 event is made by the inclusion of classes for fat stock, which have drawn excellent entries of both sheep and cattle. With tho extensive additions anil improvements t'liat have recently been made to the permanent buildings, all exhibits are now under cover, and onco on the ground, visitors may examine every, department without discomfort from adverse' weather conditions. At the time'of wiXtihg, there is every prospect of fine weather prevailing. Tho show will be officially opennd by his Excellency Lord, Liverpool to-morrow, and there promises to be a very large gathering present to welcome his Excellency on his 'first visit to the National Show.

'Tis because most farmers arc good managers and progressive that so many "Anderson" Oil Engines are in use. The "Anderson" is the most economical Oil Engine costs littlo for fuel and saves a lot of labour. It will drive any machine about the farm—and it WILL drivo it —it won't start and stop find "back" as so many farm engines do. If yon need a good farm worker, get an "Anderson" Oil Engine. It is untiring worker, anil will never "strike." Send for particulars Anderson's, Ltd., Christchurch.—Advt. ' It has tnken maiiy yearn to build up the reputation of the "Giilruth" Calf Food, but at last merit is rewarded, ( and this food comes into its own. The fGilrath" Calf Food is now stocked by almost every Storekeeper in the Dominion.—Advt. The reasons' why "Victor" Vats have been so , favourably received by Cheese Factory Managers aro not far to seek, lu tho first place the workmanship and material of these vats are excellent, that they outlast the old style vats, and give years of good service. Secondly, the "Victor" with its sloping bottom helps to produce cheese of a high-grade itv, that briiigs better returns. The "Victor" lias helped others—it can help vou—if you don't possess one of the hundreds that have been installed. Send for particulars to-day- Albert J. Parton, Plumber, Carterton —Advt.
