He told of South Wales and Cornwall,, and other , less. wellknown'parts of England. In Rome he found nearly 300 members of European agricultural societies „, in conference.

Mr. Mstheson remarked on the New York : skyscrapers,' and said that the city was twice as noisy as London, and untidy to a degree, while he thought that their underground railways were unwholesome. Remarking,, on garden matters, Mr. Matheson:• said that.vegetable and fruit crops were'grown with a mechanical precision, of which people in New Zealand had ,no conception. Lettuces, ho observed, were carefully graded, and when ready for -, market wore like a lot of clothes pegs, all, exactly alike.
