Every farmer to-day recognises the necessity -of exercising the strictest economy so as to reduce the cost of production to the absolute minimum in order to counteract, as far as possible, the effects of the high price of land and the low prices that have been ruling for produce. They should therefore make a point of visiting the Hawera Show, where in the machinery hall Messrs. Rollo and Millar, the wellknown New Plymouth firm, exhibit their patent vacuum pump for milking machines, a pump that effects a saving of 35 per cent. This claim of the makers is based upon careful tests under actual working conditions on a farm milking 175 cows. Simplicity is one of the outstanding features of the pump, the absence of the ordinary valves, which are liable to break and cause stoppages, being an obvious advantage. The pump can be run efficiently at varying speeds, and when running at 75 revohrti'ons per minute is capable of maintaining the required vacuum for a six-cow plant. At the same number of revolutions a vacuum of twenty-nine inches is obtained by pumping out of a closed tank, which demonstrates the pump to be efficient as well as economical. Other features are the steady vacuum, quick recovery and no overheating even at high speeds. The makers claim that their pump will produce more vacuum than any other pump and at less expenditure, and give a guarantee, their claims to be verified by test. *

PARA RUBBER COMPANY. One of the most interesting and attractive displays at the Hawera Winter Show is that of the Para Rubber Company, illustrating the amazing variety of goods that are now manufactured from rubber. The exhibit is a very comprehensive one. A firm which confines itself to rubber goods may appear at first sight to have a very limited connection, but the range of articles coming under this head runs into hundreds, and there is not a single person who may not find it advantageous to pay the Para Rubber Company a visit. There are motor tyres of such reliable brands as Kenyon Cord, Ameri Cord, Silvertown Cord, and Oldfield Cord. There are gum boots and goloshes, so neat and nicely finished, either for ladies or gentlemen, that a wet day might be welcomed by ,tne happy voaaessor of a Farmers

with milling machines can . obtain every rubber part that might be necessary to the machines, and in purchasing from the Para Company they know that they are getting indisputable quality. For school children there are neat, light capes, which are absolute guarantees against the wet, and afford protection from colds. Cycle tyres and tubes with an ungainsayable reputation, find a place among the exhibits, as also do hot water bottles bearing the trade-mark of the much favoured. North British -Unique. Other goods include garden hose. waterproof sheeting, the Many Use Lubricating Oils, a variety of rubber balls, rubber repair outfits, bowls, and Silver i King golf balls.. The display is attracting much attention from show visitors, many of whom are already familiar with the excellent window displays made by the firm at their Hawera premises, corner of High and Princes’ Streets.

FARMERS’ CO-OP< The Farmers’ Co-op. Company have a remarkably fine exhibition on their motor stand in the Lloyd;George Hall. The outstanding feature is the great Hupmobile car, of which two models are shown, a fine roomy three-seater painted white, specially built to carry three persons comfortably. - It has a Colonial body, self-starter, and ■ has an engine that develops 35 h.p. There is also a grey touring car, a five-sestter, which had the special features for touring that the curtains open with the doors so as to ensure the maximum of comfort; —a cosiness to tourists. Both cars are well sprung and most comfortable for touring. A very fine sample of another high-grade American car, on a par with the Hudson, is the Pan-American, a car which has particularly good finish and workmanship throughout. It has a long wheel base, is a six-cylinder car, with a Hersill-Spellman engine. The lines and general finish of this car attracted a great deal of favorable comment. A most useful patent on exhibition is the Flatlite, an invention that has overcome the difficulty of glaring headlights. Its special features are that it is a refor use on motor headlights, and is practically (indestructible, that it suits any electric headlight, and diffuses the light over the road in front of the car. There is also a fine range of tyres and tubes, chief among which are the famous Miller and Acme, and an exhibit of the special electric work carried out by the firm.
