LOOKING BACK.
FIFTY YEARS SYNE. (From tlio “Guardian,” May 3, 1893). Successful Trial of Digging Ploughs —A very successful trial of five Howard digging ploughs was held last Thursday on Mr M. Ingle Brown’s station, Highbank, near Mothven, in a paddock overgrown with cocksfoot. The ploughs worked remarkably well, and completely covered all surface rubbish and broke the furrow up so well that it will not be necessary to harrow before and after drilling* the seed. Cattle Trespassing—To prevent the trespass of cattle in the Domain in the evenings and at night, the Domain Board has decided to instruct the caretaker to close the Baric Street gate at 5 o’clock every evening.
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO. (From the “Guardian,” May 3, 1918).
