Waikato Pastures

There has beer, a great flush of pasture in the Waikato since the ic-avy rains which fell during Labour week-end. Until then pasture growtn had been retarded by the prevalence of strong cold winds. "Make no error,” said the tobacconist to a cobber, “rolling your own nas made a big difference! Parties that used to smoke packet cigarettes mostly turn up their noses at them now! They find the smokes they make themselves are not only better but a lot cheaper than ready-mades. Take me. I used to sell any quantity of packet goods; now I sell far fewer packets, but a heap more cigarette tobacco —specially Riverhead Gold and Desert Gold, the two cigarette brands chic-flv wanted. And look at the saving! Why, you can roll ten full-size cigarettes of either Riverhead Gold. Pocket Edition or Desert Gold for 7d or less! And mind you. being newly rolled they’re always fresh and moist, while the readymades are often dry and stale. Yes. all these brands are toasted, and (here are three toasted brands for the pipe—Cut Plug No. 10 (Bullshend). Cavendish and Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog). It's toasting that makes these brands so pure; that’s why they’re so harmless. Imitations? Oh yes! But they are fizzling out! No demand!”
