AUCTIONS. hTmatson and CO. BLESSED RAIN. So it has been raining, quite a decent fall— From the Waiau to Waitaki, It has fallen over all. All the creeks are running bankers, and the bankers running us, But now that we have got some rain, they shouldn's make a fuss. ,Yes, it has been raining, quite a tidy drop; We're pretty right for winter feed and something in the crop. New Zealand's round the corner, round it once again; Floating into Confidence on the glorious Rain. POUND-WISE POUND-WISE TOP-DRESSING. TOP-DRESSING.

T>ESTRICTION of Fertiliser usage with consequent decrease in the output of butterfat next season, may help the country nationally at a time When restrictions of output is looming large, but for farmers individually IT IS PRACTICALLY SUICIDAL. It has been proved definitely that the use of Fertiliser decreases the cost of production per lb of butterfat, which means that if top-dressing is CUT OUT OR REDUCED, the cost of production is automatically INCREASED at th 1 ? Very time when there is a most urgent need that it should be REDUCED. The Ultimate result, then, seems to be this: Those who cannot afford to topdress, pay for this inability sooner or later by DECREASED RETURNS and INCREASED COST of production per lb of butterfat; those who could afford to top-dress and do not, pay likewise.

SHELTER FOR STOCK. Trees provide a very necessary shelter for stock of all descriptions, To see a mob of cows or sheep huddled beneath a tree during the bitter Winds of winter is to realise that the health and well-being of stock demand the provision of some efficient shelter. Too much food material is wasted in "warming the wind," or in meeting the increased demands of an exposed body. Sheltered animals require less food. Stock owners agree that mortality among sheep, particularly during lambing and shearing seasons, would be considerably lessened if good shelter were available. Animals clearly demonstrate their need for shelter and if the stock owner were to provide it he would add appreciably to his profit.

Unlike breaks for crops or orchards) considerable latitude usually exists in the choice of a site for a stock shelter belt, as it may be situated practically anywhere within the paddock. Planting along the fence lines is often the • method adopted, as the existing fence already provides protection on one side from damage by stock, necessitating the erection of only one new fence. In large paddocks, however, the shelter belt is best situated somewhere out in the centre of the paddocks, as stock have access to all sides of the belt and can thus secure protection from all winds. On large areas such' belts can be planted along ridges or on the top of small hills, and sites can be chosen ■which are not producing the best pasture grasses, but which are suitable for tree growth. The shelter belt may be straight, crescent-shaped, or two belts may be arranged in the form of a cross. The last-mentioned shape is particularly effective, as it gives shelter over a fairly large area and from every quarter.
