DAIRY SKIMMING. The Baltic Separator i=i steadily winning its way into public favi?. The following testimony from Mr A. Armstrong, of Manakau, is a fair sample of the letters we receive:—"The 100 gallon per hour Baltic Sepaator is giving entire satisfaction. It runs smoothly, and is easy to turn.

ARMADALE STUD, OKAIAWA. TARANAKI, N.Z. TO STAND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clydesdale Stallion, LORD ERSKJNE. JT OltD ERSKINE is a very superior well-bred bay horse f>i the very best quality, and true type of the Clydesdale breed, standing 1(1 bauds 'i'/ 2 inches high. lie is a very massive horse, with eleau Hat boned, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silKy hair, aud graudlytormed round feet of good quality, witu line broad hoof heads, lie has a beautiful head, aud eyes characteristic of courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins aud strong short-coupled back. Ilia action, both at the walk and trot, is all that can be desired. Altogether he is a most compactly-built, well-put-togc-ther specimen of a draught horse. Lord Krskine was bred by J. S. Holmes of Awanioa, Oamaru, and is by the imported sire "Sandy Erskiue," who is the sire of the well-known champion mare, ''Lady Erskiue"—owned by A. Alexander, Esq., Nonuanby, Taranaki—the dam of the champion two-year-old colt, Jlarcellus, recently purchased by \V. Taylor, Esq., Te Awamutu, at the record price of 750 guineas. Lord Erskine's Dam, Pearl 11., is by the famous sire, Crown Prince, grand I dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, [winner of numerous first prizes; this mare has only been beaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pearl, a mare specially selected by the late J. 15. Blair, and imported on account of the late lion. Matthew Holmes. From the foregoing it will be seen that Lord Erskinc is descended from the very best blood of good breeding strains, and he is certain to prove a getter of the best type of Clydesdales. His show ring successes prove him to be a. horse of individual high-class merit. In 11)06 he gained the following awards: At Ashburton, first and champion; at the International Show, Christchurch, second prize and reserve champion, also first prize for best stallion in the walking competition (beating the champion stallion Pride of Newton), and first prize for Lord Rothschild's silver bowl for the beat Colonial-bred stallion (Shire or Clydesdale) by an imported sire, thus gaining the highest number of awards at the Show.
