MR HOPPING'S DISPERSAL SALE.

Mr Charles Hopping, the wellknown Taikorea settler, having recently disposed of his farm to Mr F. W. Kobersteinj has entrusted the sale of the whole of his live and dead stock to the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Co., Ltd., who will sell on Wednesday, June the homestead, when everything will be sold absolutely without reserve. The sheep have all been carefully culled and are in first class order, and the auctioneers can recommend them very highly to any of their clients. Mr Hopping's well-known herd of dairy cows will also be offered, and as Mr Hopping is well known as one of the pioneers of the dairying industry in the Manawatu district, and has spared no time, trouble or expense in getting together a first class herd his cows will no doubt be keenly competed for. Included in his dairy stock will be the purebred Holstein bulls and purebred Holstein cow that Mr Hopping_ imported from America recently. There is. also a number of young tlrree quarter bred Holstein heifers, and the purchaser of these should have the nucleus of one of the best dairy herds in the district. A number of horses aire also being sold, including the draught stallion "Dollar Jock," which is so favourably known in the Rongotea, Carnarvon and Sandon disrticts. There will no doubt be keen competition for the pigs, as amongst'those to bo offered are four purebred Poland China sows, and also Yorkshire and Devon sows, and one Poland China boar, and seven mixed Poland China young Tpigs. There is a considerable quantity of machinery to be sold, and as the bulk of it is new should afford a splendid opportunity for those requiring farm implements. The sale starts at 11 a.m. sharp, and. luncheon will be provided-by Mr Hopping.
