The many friends of Mrs Ulph, of Caroline road, Hastings, will be sorry to hear that she is at present a patient in the Wellington hospital. The death took place in a private hospital iu New Plymouth on Sunday aiternooir of Mr. J. M. Hickey senr., J.P., of Upuuake. He was born in Ireland i2 years ago, and came out to Wellington in 18<6, joining up subsequently with the Armed Constabulary Force at Upunake. He was in charge ol the party that arrested Tuki, the murderer of Miss Dome, the artist, at le Nainu. At least one farmer in the district is making good use of ierniniested country, and at the same time eradicating the menace (says a King Country paper). Un one farm a herd of 2UO pigs is being carried, and the fern (m addition to turnips intermixed) is being eaten out by tne pigs. The pigs are in excellent condition, and tne experiment is proving a successful one lor the farmer in question—so successful, indeed, that if the pigs realise what they promise to do on the market many other farmers in the district may become interested in swine-raising ns a profitable industry and as a means of tern eradication Some wiseacres will then doubtless come a'ong in future years, when the industry han possibly become a flouriahmg, one, and say- “If only we had more .fern.”
