The attention of the farming comruun ity and all interested in matters agricultural and pastoral is drawn to Messrs 1 Kempthorne Prosser and Co’s new advertisement appearing in our columns re high grade Malden Guano. This Guano is too well and favourably known as a fertiliser to require any special comment from us. A noticeable feature, however about Malden Guano is specially emphasized here, viz , that of 08 per cent, phosphate of lime of which the manure is composed no less than 24 per cent is soluble in one per cent, citric acid, the equivalent of plant juice, while in 2 per cent, of citric acid as much as 34.77 per cent, of the phosphates is readily soluble. This manure is therefore all that Messrs Kempthorne Prosser and Company claim it to be -a most valuable fertiliser.

Two thousand seven hundred dozen eggs were graded at the Government poultry depot, Auckland, last week. Mr A. Pouusford (chief grader) states that eggs are coming in more freely at present,, the number increasing by about 500 dozen per week. Last November 33,000 dozen eggs were graded at the depot, but it is expected, that fully three times that number will be put through during November of this year.

To do good work it is recognised as necessary to have the best material, and every new labour saver placed upon the market is deserving of the careful consideration of that class of the community who are in need of its use. We would draw the attention of our farming friends and stock breeders generally to a new brand for use on stock, which can be seen at Air D. McL. Wallace’s factory in Whitaker-street, which is decidedly an improvement on the old sort, The brand is the same as that usually used, with the exception that instead of the whole thing being one piece there is a loop at the end into which can be adjusted any brand you may desire, which is held fast by the insertion of a pin underneath. The brand is made of mailable steel, has a perfectly level face, and being made of this material is not liable to bend or be easily knocked about by rough usage. It is altogether a well-finished piece of work which should meet with a ready sale. THE BEST MILKING MACHINE.

Many people are anxious to know whicli is the best milking machine There is only one safe and inexpensive way to find out —“ Wait and See. ’ It takes two full seasons to prove if a machine is a reliable milker or not. When the fact that it does not effect the cows has been established, it will be time enough to go into the question of which does the best milking. You do not require to wait and see if the “ L.K G. ” is reliable, this was proved three years ago, and hundreds of practical men endorse the verdict to-day.
