Tho Scottish Agricultural Commission's report on Australia gives a full . i description of the. agricultural and pas- ; toral conditions. The prefaco insists that everywhere . thero is an unsatisfied demand for . manual labourers. The Scottish Agricultural Commission arrived iu Australia last September. :t consisted of Sir Carlaw Martin (president), Sir' John Sinclair, Bart, (vice-pre-sident), Dr. Sliirra f'dbb, Dr. "Wilson, Dr. Greig. and Messrs. Barber, Dobbit , , Dunlop, Henderson, Keith, Morrison, and Prain. la an interview, Sir Carlaw Martin told how tho commission curiie about. , "In 190-i," lie said, "Lord.Pentlnml, then Mr. John Sinclair, member of the House of , Commons for Forfarshire, conceived tho idea of sending a number of hi? constituents to Denmark with u view of learning any methods of cultivating, working up, and mnvketing dairy produce' that could be profitably imitated in Scotland. Tin idea new in his hands until it assumed the shape of a commission of nearly JO men, most of whom were practical farmers, and all concerned in land interests, and were representative of a large proportion of the counties of Scotland. Tho result of the commission's observations were published in a report which, it was believed, had some value in spreading sound information as to what a. small, well-directed, morally trained nation could achieve when it set its mind to the elevation of its country in tho ranks of producers and exporters. "In 190G the same body, but slightly increased, visited Ireland, where, partly by the action of the State and partly by voluntary organisation, the same methods ot agricultural education, co-operation, and marketing are being pursued with a success, especially in the North of Ireland, that bids fair to make that portion of tlv. United Kingdom one of the most prosperous in time to come. J,n IMS. practically tho same body visited Canada." Mr. Albert H. Casey, of the legal firm of Casey and Moran, left by tha Warrirnoo last evening eu route to England on business. Representatives of the Wellington Catholic Club, the-- Lacrosse Association, the Debating rjuion, and 'the St. Patrick's College Old Boys' Association (of each of which bodies Mr. Casey is a valued member) were present at tho boatside, and he was accorded a hearty send-off. On behalf of tho Wellington Catholic Club, Mr. Casey was presented with a handsome travel-ling-rug. \ Mr. AV. C. Buchanan, M.P., delivered a political address at Dalefiekl on Thursday evening, and was accorded a very attentive hearing. NERVOUS INDIGESTION. • The action of digestion is controlled by nerves leading to the stomach. When ' they are weak tho stomach is deprived of its energy. It has no power to do its work. If you want permanent relief you must restore this energy. DE. ENSOK'S ' TAMER JUICE restores nervous energy, ' and gives the organs power to perform tlioir functions. ; ■ A well-known local draper says:—"For quite four years I have been a martyr to indigestion and dyspepsia— acute and painful. I could not eat with any degree of comfort, and suffered from sleeplessness. My nerves got into such a bad state that I sometimes felt that I should'go out of my mind. My bookkeeper told me how ho had been cured of nervous indigestion by taking half a teaspoonful of E>JPOK*S TAMER JUICE three times a dav and he started me on the balance of liis last bottle. The result yon can see. I suppose I must have taken quite a gallon or two of different medicines, and the whole lot did not benefit mo as much as two bottles of TAMER JUICE. My nerve" all needed a thorough strengthening and Dr. Ensor's Tamer Juice has done'it admirably." To tho thousands of sickly, rim-down nervous, full-of-pain, and suffering men and women we recommend with all honesty and confidence this truo friend DR ENSOR'S TAMER JUICE.-Advt For rheumatism, backache, faceache earache, neuralgia, and other muscular pains nothing can equal WITCH'S OIL (registered).—Advt.
