Inquiries load to Bpcedy conviction thitt the "Hartn?ti" has no equal as a simple, safe and effntual Milking Machine.

ARMADALE STUD, OKAIAWA. TAKANAKI, N.Z. TO STAND THIS SEASON, The Champion Clydesdale Stailion, LORD ERSKINE. T.OKD ERSKINE is a very superior well-bred bay horse of the very beat quality, and true typo of the Clydesdale breed, standing 10 hands 3'/ a inches high, lie is a very massive horse, with eleau Hat bones, strong, well-formed joints, beautiful long silky hair, and grandlyformed round feet of good quality, with fine broad hoof heads, lie has a beautiful head, and eyes characteristic ot courage and endurance, a good neck and crest, well-sprung ribs, remarkably good loins and strong short-coupled back, llis action, both at the walk and trot, is all that tan be desired. Altogether he is a moat compactly-built, well-put-toge-ther specimen of a draught horse. Lord Erskine was bred by J. S. Holmes of Awamoa, Oainaru, and is by the imported sire "Sandy Erskine," who is the sire of the well-known champion mare, "Lady Erskine"—owned by . Alexander, Esq., Normanby, Taranak-i----i dam of the champion two-ye colt, Marcellus, recently purchased by W. 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 dam Sapphire, dam of Accountant, winner of numerous first prizes; this mare has only been beaten by her stable companion's great grand dam, Pear], a mare specially selected by the late J. B. Blair, and imported on account of the late Hon. Matthew Holmes, from the foregoing, it will be seen that Lord Erskine is descended from the very best blood of good breeding strains, and he is certain to prove u getter of the best type of Clydesdales. His show ring successes prove him to be a horse of individual high-class merit. In 1900 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 best Colonial-bred stallion (Shire or Clydesdale) by an imported sire, thus gaining the highest number of awards at the Show.

Jjord Lrskmc was purchased in April, 1007, at a cost of 800 guineas by F. A. Bremer, of Okaiawa, Taranaki, from Mr Uolit. Clarke, Kosemeatli Stud, Asliburton.
