GENERAL NOTES.

The Lepperton Co-operative Factory and Mr H. Joll's Oneua factory have sold their season's output for six months to a local firm at 9d." The buyer also finds boxes, parchment paper, sale, and pre< servitas, making price abont 9£d.

Great dissatisfaction prevails among Bupplierß of the Crown Factory, Waitara road, at the price, 3|d, and weight of milk per gallon, offered them by Mr J. O. George. It appears to be very evident that that gentleman haß different ideas on finanoial questions, when buying milk or Belling butter. — Waitara correspondent.

Feeding horses on wheaten bread would ' have been scouted at one time as a wicked extravaganoe ; but nowadays (according to a London contemporary) there is no food for live stock as oheap aB wheat, and none as dear as hay. A Sheffield correspondent of the Field states a oab owner in that town some time ago tried the experiment of keeping bis horses on bread, and was well satisfied with the results, with one exception, which was the stealing of so many of his loaves, that he had to give up the system of feeding. Plenty of wheat may be bought at £6 a ton, and, in proportion to nutritive constituents, no food is cheaper. The only question is as to whether horses would do well if fed liberally on rough made bread.
