Messrs. Abraham and Williams, Ltd., will hold a stock sale at Levin on Tuesday. A 149-acre freehold farm is offered for sale by Messrs, Grant and Campbell, Hawera. Three farms of various aorcages are offered for sale by Messrs. Harcourt and Co. ■ It is a 'matter of common knowledge that the application of artificial manure is yielding a much larger return for its use than ever before. This is due mainly to farmers' increasing knowledge of the action of manures, and also to the ever-growing use of "Eclipse" Fertilisers. These \famous Fertilisers are prepared for all classes of ;soil and • for all kinds of crops, and they invariably yield profitable returns.—Advt.
