GRAHAM, Authorised Scrveyob and Native , Agent, HAMILTON. Cannell and Co.'a Lime is the purest lime on record, analysing as high as 98'92 per cent, in the unburnt stone. For builders', plasterers', and agriculturists' use it is not to be surpassed. Limestone countries for grass require no stimulating manuree, lime being the only legitimate solvent for the acids and silicas which militate against plant food. Lime, though slow, is the only sure element requisite to make Waikato soils equal in fertility and grazing capabilities the limestone hills of the southern portions of this island. Oregon farmers in America consider they have raised the value of their butter and sheep lands £8 per acre through using lime. Sutton and Sons, the famous English seedsmen, state Devonshire farmers alone lost £100,000 through not dressing their turnip lands with lime; they consider lime as as essential element in farming and stock raising. W. Brydone, Esq., of the Edendale Estate, Dunedin, states he uses 400 to 600 tons of lime per annum on light medium soils for oats and turnips, at an anuual cost of 42s Cd per acre, and considers it pays him back out of first crop, but that the good effects are lasting in the soil. We are authorised to refer to Messrs Isaac Coates, Edgecumbe, Latham, Parr, Mason, Exelby, Munro, Mullius, Odium, and others who have used and proved our lime to be valuable in turnip, oats, grase, potatoes, wheat, orchard, and other lands. Lime should be carted on to the land in autumn for lands to be used for spring crops. WILLIAM A. GRAHAM, Agent, Hamilton. SPRAYING IyTACHINE.
