A LEADING AWAHURI FARMER'S OPINION OF THE RIDD MILKER. A leading farmer at Awahuri writes us:— "The -3-bucket RIDD Milking Plant you installed for me has given mo entire satisfaction. It is a very simple machine, does its work well, and is easily kept clean. I had no past experience of any machine, and have had no. trouble in working THE REDD. I have never had tio stop through any defect in the machine since I started using 1 it, and have no hesitation in recommending it. To those wishing to see the machines at work, I will be pleased to show it time. The ''BLAOKSTONE" Kerosene Engine could not he beaten, and I am well satisfied; with it. It is very economical, having milked 45 cows twice a day for 11" days on one tin of kerosene." Testimony like this is worth considering, and we shall be pleased to send catalogues and particulars of THE RIDD MACHINES and BLAOKSTONE ENGINE on receipt of enquiry. It will cost you nothing to go into the matter, then why delay? MANSON AND BARR, Rangi'iiikei Street, Palmerston N. *
