" By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation ot digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine 'properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet tbal a constitution may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist , every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keepiug ourselves well fortified wib pure blood and a properly nourished frame." — See article iv the .Civil Service Gazette.

(TE KAHURANQI) T7IINDING there is a strong feeling to X/ retain the services of Somnus in this District, and wishing to use him ourselves to a greater extent than before, thePioprietors have arranged to send the son of "The Painter" to Hawke's Bay. where he will serve at a fee of Seven Guineas for Thoroughbreds, and Five Guineas for Crossbred 8. The Celebrated TboroughbredjChampion Prize winner, SOMNUS (sire of Dudn, FoXton, Cyclone, Minnie, Waiter and a host of other most promising youngster*, some of whioh will, no doubt, in the coming racing season afford additional proof of the value of this first class sire) will therefore stand at the Proprietors' stud stables, Feildinp, this seasoD, commencing Monday, the 2nd September. We have stuck to S inn us, because ou his size, breeding, performances, and beautiful symmetry, we believed he was destined to become a Great Horse ; and we have no doubt whatever now, that like his illustrious sire 'Traducer," and the great " Musket," Somnus inherits that great power possessed by so few sires, of transmitting his excellent qualities to his progeny, that we mean to stick to him still, notwithstanding the tempting overtures that have been made for him, not in New Zealand (because he was bred here), but lrom America, where bis old stable companion and near relation, " Sir Modred,*' has attained such a high reputation asia Sire, and from other parts of the world where the fame of Somnus has reached. We did inteud to charge a fee of Ten Guineas all round this season, but from representations made by some of our friends that they were unable to pay so much for Hack mares, we have decided to reduce the fee on the following scale, viz. :— Ist Class Thoroughbreds, Ten Guineas. Class C, Seven Guineas. A limited number of good Hack mares, Five Pounds ten shilliDgs. Paddooking (if required) 2i per week. Choice mares can be fed as per agreement. Guarantees as per agreement. Allowance made for two or more mares, the property of one owner. .-'■. A Mares left at the Proprietors' Homestead, Foxton, will be forwarded to Feildiog free ot cost. To insure service, early application should be made. Thu paddocking accommodation is specially provided for breeding purposes, the wet *nd dry mares being kept teparate in well watered »ur) flickered padiiocks. Otvoeis sending mares ;n foal can rely upon <li« i/rcatext possiUe care being taken ac foaling time, and proper time of service.
