HAWERA WINTER SHOW

':,SOIIE OF THE ATTRACTIONS. -The "entries fod the .Dominion Dairy Show at Hawera' total 1405, as compared with 1363 last year, which is considered to- ba more than satisfactory. The dairy factory- classes—butter and cheese—show »-slight decrease on last year's ligures, ' but nevertheless theso classes are very well filled, anil have brought forward excellent competition, while the quality is easily-equal to- the. standard shown in - former ,'yeais: jOne;: of the strong fea- • Mures of the show—if not the strongest— isS'the exhibition of dairy machinery Mid appliances, in .motion. The machinery ha/l is-a remarkable show in itself, ; and th» display is quite equal to that of-previous years. Motor-cars also form . a"good exhibition.; As usual, the home irCdustr,»es and. fancy work divisions contain strong classes of excellent exhibits. The Agricultural Department has: a comprehensive display, which occupies a'vspace .of 3700 square feel. It comprises,,, as.-far-.as possible, the exhibits which were returned' from the Panama Exhibition, where they secured nearly 500 awards and. several Grand' Prix , , awards,' : especially in clovers'and small i seeds. . The Government experimental farms . af.'-'Moumahaki, Ruakura, and Werarea ei'oh has its .individual section. There was also an excellent exhibit of apples selected by the 'Government Horticultural Division. The honey exhibit, al- ' ttlolugh not extensive, is interesting. . V VIVIFIC. (Published, by Arrangement.) ■Whether it is that living is more strenuous now than: it .was in .the, days gone by, or whether the numerous attractions which turn night into day liave robbed tho-body, of those health-giving properties SO essential to a well-balanced pby r siial system,' is not" the object ofj this etory so much as to point to a famous ''life-saving-'-tonic manufactured at' Ha-" wera. . This great .tonic, the fame and ''-'.'effectiveness of which is becoming known ... In- all parts of the Dominion, is confi- ' de'ntly declared to be a sure cure for the . sad physical conditions tinder .which so ■ ill-nay Human beings drag out a .-painful existence, Jlrs. Moore discovered the rem- ' edy fortoning up those who. are .weak, or . ar'n ran . down', and she 1 appropriately called, it "Vivific," because of its power as/an elixir of life.. Although hundreds .of ; people are Ringing: the praise of Mrs. Mbore and her newly-discovered medicine, it was felt that the fringe had not been reached, and in view of the steadily increasing demand for Vivific a strong company has been formed, with headquarters at Haw'cra. A factory has been , built, with up-to-date appliances, for the manufacture of this great tonic and healing ointment, so that complete arrangements are made to'cope .with tile numer- . . ous applications which' are arriving from all parts of tho Dominion. Mrs. Moore, . who, by- the way; is ih attendance at -'. ; Hawora- Show; states' that .she.hasreceiv--1 edv hundreds of - unsolicited testimonials as to cures for nerves and general weakness being, effected by theMise of Vivific.. For eczema, Vivific tonic, taken inwardly, and Vivific ointment, applied locally, isclaimed" to removo the trouble. Doctors, it-is stated, have recognised .the curative properties of Vivific''in' cases of nervous breakdown, and are ordering it ■ -to thdr. .:patients. l ;' Yivific ■ Tcttic - and ■ Ointment iare- procurable front all chemists and .druggist's.,

The following appreciation has been. received, during, .the last few. days:— Caledonia Strest, Hawera, ; v.-.v - 27th. June,.lolG, . Mrs.'J; E., iloore, Hawera, ;' Dear Madam,—Your'"Vivific" or lifegiving medicines manufactured by you,

ant| sent out into the world for the benefit of suffering humanity, have also been introduced to my little home by a friend in- Hawera. This testimonial to you is a gratitude to you from my wife -in account of the most sterling healing quality of.your Vivific Ointment) which is proven in ;the following statement by ine. In May, 1915, my wife met with an accident to her right leg; inflammation set'in, I consulted a chemist, from whom I got some lotion, and continuc-d the treatment for some time, but to no avail. I then tried two different kinds of ointments, but the. leg got worse. I then consulted one doctor who prescribed—instructions were carried out—the leg still getting worse. I then consulted another doctor, whose instructions we carried out most faithfully for a long period, both with regard to rest and medicine, bu.t instead of liealing the leg became very sore and painful. Inflammation set in towards the ankle, two large sores broke out that caused the sufferer many restless nights. A friend offered me your Ointment with these words: "Give it a fair trial," and we'did, with the result that after 21 hours' application from your Ointment the inflammation commenced to' vanish, the sores gradually healing, and •now at the time of writing the leg is perfectly healed—and two grateful human beings now rejoice in the happy consummation of knowledge that you have been successful in bringing in an Ointment that will be a great boon to suffering. humanity.—(Signed) Nils Magnus Person. SERGEANT MILKING MACHINE. The development of dairying in Tarn, naki during the past few years has been very rapid, the exports of butter and cheese being now in the vicinity of two millions sterling. Under, the old order of things, when ..so much hand labour lmd to bo depended upun, such a magnificent achievement could hardly be expected. The milking machine, of course, played, and-is playing,, a piominent part in the big things of Taraiiaki, the dairy, man finding that the output from a herd,' small or great, can be 'handled with Bi> mueh expedition its a result of the operations of. the machine. In view, therefore.'of the machine making all the difference between profit «\nd loss in these times, when labour is scarce, land is .dear, and the prico of stock is high, farmers are naturally on the alert for the very best machine on. the marketthat is, a machine that , gives the maximum efficiency without any injury to the herd. This probably is the reason why the Sergeant Milking Machine, is having such a run in Taranaki, the controlling syndicate claiming to have been instrumental in successfully placing since October last no fewer, tlmn SO of these machines within a radius of fifteen miles from Hawera. The popularity of the machine can be, easily understood by those who know something about the working of the Sergeant invention. First of all, Jthero are no "brain-wracking puzzle parts." A man with ordinary in. telligence can dismantle and re-crect tho plant without- niechanical knowledge. Sanitation, which is so essential, has re. oeived special attention. . Then the combined releaser, pulsator, and vacuum tank are unique features of the plant, and causc the machine'to be fully appreciated by its user.?— The motion of the releaser is very similar to a water-wheel, in action—smooth, steady, never-failing. The .packets are heavily and .beautifully, enamelled, baked under a temperature, of 240 degrees. That means great duration Jo ; .the ;cuamel. , This, it is claimed, is the only machine built, on such highly-scientific lines as to enable the milk to continuously flow, from-the milk pipe. Then as a valuable accessory the pulsator , plays a prominent part. The operator is enabled to make it give \i long squeeze and sliort, release, or a short, squeeze and a long release. Daily demonstrations of the Sergeant. Milking Machine are given at Hawera .Winter Show'. Those in charge are besieged with questions, and all information is cheerfully-given.

NATIVE TREE SPECIALISTS. One pleasing and attractive part,of the Hawera Sliow was the space devoted to the exhibition of- specimen trees and shrubs from, the very fine nursery of Messrs. Duncan and Davies, Ltd., of New Plymouth, a special feature being the splendid collection and variety oi'imtivn trees. In connection with the firm's operations, it is interesting to note that last' season Duncan and Davies, Ltd., took over the business . of Mr. R. W. Davies, native tree 1 , specialist. It is still under the latter's management, and has developed into quite a large industry. This department is. said to contain the largest colle'ctfon of. New' Zea-land-plants in existence, aiid is situated alongside the. main nursery. Many of the tre?s and ferns which have ibeon collected by this interesting . firm ' are. extremely rare, notably the purple rangi; ora, a beautiful foliage shrub with large bronze leaves and white It is" claimed that there arc only eighteen of these plants in the world. Another rare and very choice shrub is the crim-" non-flowered manulca. It is very hardy and easy of cultivation, and will probably be remembered as the. Winner of the special prize competed for some year or two ago at Chelsea for . the ; best New Zealand shrub exhibited. The exhibit is a striking testimony to the extension of Duncan and Davies's operations in

the development of the test kind of trees, plants, and shrubs for these parts. Perhaps the most notable feature in the whole nursery is the splendid system on which it is worked. An up-to-date pack. In? shed, fitted with elcctric light, en. able.? the men to work at night during tils' busy scoson.- 'The lturscrv is well worth a visit, and those who cannot get so far north as the main nursery should not miss (he opportunity of having a talk with Mr. Daviefl at Hawern Winter Show. R. A. NOEDL'S EXHIBIT. Very great interest is being: manifested in lir. T!. A. Noedl's exhibit at the Hawera Show. Mr. Noedl has invented what is now popularly known as the "Allies' Hand Protector arid Polisher." It is manufactured in Palmpistoii North, and is rightly termed, "a New Zealand all-round combination." The polisher and protector may be used for boots and stove cleaning, work in the garden, brass and silverware polishing and for massaging ''muscular ailments. The invention is neatly finished, and can be carried comfortably in the pocket . or lady's handbag. As a present for the boys in khaki, the polisher and protector is invaluable. It is obtainable at all stores and grocers for th'e small sum of eighteen pence. Another invention of Mr. Noedl's (also exhibited) is the "safety clothes prop." The inventor claims that this prop is the oiisy reliable means of defying strong winds when the clothesline is full. Every, housewife knows the strenuous efforts that have to be put forth on washing day. ..Therefor?, to make the day's work easier, x a "safety prop" must be used. It is inexpensive, and can be procured at all up-to-date stores, ironmongers, and coal merchants. Like the ,r poli§her arid protector," the "safety prop" is manufactured in Palmerston North.
