Babbit shooting from motor cars with the spotlights burning is a well-known method of destroying the too frequent “bunny’ ’ in the country, and the idea was recently applied to deal with deer which had grown wise to the ways of stalkers in the Waikaia Valley, Southland. The nocturnal habits of these animals have deprived settlers of these appreciable quantity of winter feed set aside for stock, says the Mataura Ensign. Selecting a dark night, a party of several rifles equipped with powerful spotlights adjourned to an area sown in Turnips, to which the deer had given close attention in the hours of darkness. Waiting till the night was well advanced, and at an arranged hour, the spotlights were turned on. and a number of deer were seen quietly feeding among the turnips. Few, if any of the deer escaped across open country to the bush.

Inventors have long been trying to produce a tobacco-pipe capable of neutralising or absorbing the nicotine contained in tobacco. Up-to-date none of them have succeeded. The fact is they are barking up the wrong tree, or putting the cart before the horse. The only effectual way of eliminating nicotine from the tobacco leaf is to toast the latter. This process gets rid of so much of the poison that the small balance remaining is negligible. It also imparts to the tobacco a flavour and aroma you may seek in vain in the imported brands, which full of nicotine as they usually are, are liable to cause heart or ynerve. trouble to the smoker. No such drawback exists in the case of New Zealand toasted. Smoke it as freely as you please, it cannot harm 3 r ou. Its fangs are drawn! It is toasted! There are only four brands— Riverhead Gold, Cavendish, Navy Cut No. 3, and Cut Plug No. 10. No others are manufactured, and connoisseurs pronounce them as fully equal in all respects to leaf grown in any part of the world.—N.P. 139*
