It is pleasing to note that the practical nature of the instruction in woolclas.sing nt the technical schools is recognised, Palmerston North school recently received a letter from Mr Dixon, of the Papanui station, Mataroa, asking that some of the students undertake to class and roll the season's clip. When it is borne in mind that this will mean the handling of the wool from no less than 15;000 sheep, the value of the work to be done will be the more teadily appreciated. BILIOUS ATTACKS CURED. ■' I have been a continuous sufferer from headache and bilious vomiting attacks for 25 years," writes Mr Donald Coutts, Oondab, Vic. " Daring that time I have been treated by doctors besides using all sorts ot medi* cines that proved useless. Being almost afraid I could never b-i cured, I tried Chamberlain's Tablets, and can assure you that they completely cured me, and I feel like a new man." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. The turnip <uo;>, unusually late throughout Southland on account of the long spell of wet weather experienced this summer, is being seriously attacked by the fly in some districts. In some cases crops have been sown twice, and both crops have been taken. As has often been found, the crops ridged at the same time as sowing arc looking best, and seem less liable to succumb to the ravages of the Uy. NEVER HAD A DOCTOR. " 1 never had a doctor in my life and that says a lot lor Cnauiherlain's Tablets" say? Isabella Ourrie, Ballbird, Cessnock, N.S.W. " They keep me in perfect health and any time 1 feel " off colour," or as though I needed a laxative I take one and the result is perfect health." Fol - sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, CromwellNo section of workers represented by a-union should be given an award unless the union is prepared to pledge the funds which it now uses in cruel and often ineffective lighting against long odds, jus a guarantee that they will stand by the award till the end of its currency (says the " Ounaru Mail.") In like manner the employers should bind themselves. This would do away with the temptation to wrench impossible conditions on the one hand and to oppress on the other, and would avoid serious losses of trade which are as calamitous to the workers as to the employers. •'WORTH POUNDS," SVYS WAN. OANUI WOMAN. " Nearly every summer I have an at'ack of dysentery," siys Mrs E. J. Viuall, Dublin Street , Wanganui, N 'A. " Last sunnier I was so bad with it that I had to consult a doctor, and not getting any re! if from bis prescription, deeided to' give Chaiu'.-cr-lain's Colic and Diarrhoea Riuedy a trial. The result was am i/nng ; I felt my usual self after three doses. Chamberlain's Colic and Diarrhoea Remedy is a wonderful medicine and 1 would not be without a bottle in the house now. It is worth pounds." For sale by Heury Hotop, demist, Cromw-11. The display of fross m miat by the New Zealand Government at lioubaix is likely to have a beneficial effect, A local paper, "La Oroix," states that during the last few days some eloquent speeches have been made in that district in favor of frozen meat and the revision of the harassing Customs tariff. The paper commends the action of New Zealand and obseives that if the French Government wishes to take all precautions from the sanitary point of view it could make it eisy for the shippers by requiring acmsular stamp on the carcase. COMPELLED TO TAKE TO HIS BED. " F>r six y- ars I have been a suferer from 0)1 o, b;iag o.nidlol at times to take to my bed," says Mr R. 0. Philps , Button, S.A, " hut now when I get these attain I take Chamberlain's Colic and Diirrhoa Remedy and find that it gives me immediate relief. lean confiioitly recommend it to others for colic o- aiv hj >wml or stomach compla ; n f ." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemi-it, Cr >m veil. Everything is done on a huge scale in America. What is probably the largest sign in the State of Washington or the world was recently constructed on the east bank of the Columbia river, just above the town of Beverly. From the windows of passing trains it catches the eye of the traveller, and may be easily seen for a distance of several miles. The sign iri nearly a quarter of a mile long, the letters are 40ft wide and 100 ft high. SAVED HIS LIFE. Little Jack Vincent was atUcked with croup. "He was just at the choking stage and we hid no time to send for medical aid," says his moth er, Mrs Agnes L. Vincent, Margaret Bfc., Geelong, Vic. "We had Chain berlain's Cough Remedy in the house and it was the meang of savt»g his life. It only took ten minutes for Chamberlain's C.)ugh Rem ;dy to do the work." For sale by Henry Hotop, Chemist, Cromwell. In summing up his opinion of the value of ensilage as winter feed, more especially for dairy cows, Mr Dibble, who was in charge of the demonstration of the Manitoba stacker at Stirling recently Ffiid to a ' Free Press' representative :—" If a man is milking 80 cows he can easily make his land carry 45 by cutting fodder in the spring and preserving it in an ensilage stack for winter use." In Mr Dibble's opinion silage is far ahead of turnips as a food foi dairy cows. It enriches and improves the quality of the milk, whereas \\\ the North they hold that turnips have an opposite cil'eel, and milk from turnip j fed cows in barved at all the factories thtl'6,
