SIFTINGS.

There is some misunderstanding among members of Parliament, as well as among the soldiers themselves, about the scheme of paying the gratuity money into the Post Olliice Savings Bank on account of the soldiers (says the “ Dominion”). It will be open to any soldier to draw at once the full amount of his credit, and to do what ho likes with it. It will not be held and given to him in doles or anything of that sort. What is hoped is that most of the men will leave the money on deposit, using only such of it as they require for immediate needs. One advantage of the scheme is that it will greatly facilitate payment of the gratuities. As a matter of fac r , there will be no delay' at all. As soon as the scale is approved and the regulations for payment gazetted, the Government will bo ready to make the payment through the Post OUico, and the men who want the money will be able to got it.

We have tens of thousands more than are required, and everyone has been breeding them for war purposes. A friend of mine has just shot about 2500 wild horses, and as soon as the weather gets warmer we shall have to shoot or trap about 3000 on my properly on Lake Eyre and Stewart s Creek.
