THE INVASION OF ENGLAND.

DISPERSAL OF A GREAT AYRSHIRE HERD.

.^ •• ■"*■ '■ ■ ■ The April number of Mac National l!«- . view contains an exlraoTdhiary~arliclo by a "German Staff Officer" 011 the "Tump • lions of Ukj German Navy," in which -it is declared that Germany- must aim in a .war with England at throwjiig~an invading force- into the United Kingdom. "The English. Army corresponds neither in size- nor quality with England's posi 1 tioiL.as-a great JPbwefr, and does; not even correspond with t he bixc ~bMlic cojintry. The" conviction that tihe invasion of English territory can bo prevented by the fleet is not justified. An opponent who is considerably weaker on Ijic seaTaJid who concentrates his forces and keeps tltcjn in a state of readiness can expect a temporary success." Therefore, he argues, in case war should threaten, Germany should swiftly land a - part of her army on the British coast, and tuansfor tho decision of the campaign to land.

Thft disposal of pedigree stock by auction has always a. considerable interest for the farming'and dairying community, and the sale by Messrs Macdonald, Wil-.. son and Co., of Wellington, of such .a. well-known and important herd as that of Mr James Kyle, of (Joar Island, proved no exception. There-waa -the: largest gatliering of-buyers of Ayrshires that has assembled in- 1 lie coSony.^for a very longtime. Tho North Island "was represented by ouch breeders as Mr S. W. Luxford, of Longburn; Mr 0. J. Tiilly, of Wairarapa ; Mr Chas. - Woodloy, of Pahncrston .North; Messrs CampbelL Exlcy, aud Harry, of .Hawera; Mr Buchanan, tlie well-known Ayrshire judge; and a .number "of breeders from -tl>e Mauawatu aiwl elsewhere. The South Island breeders wero represented, and, although none fell t© their bids, they competed' well for tho best. The herd was_ admitted to be oiw^ of the best in the colony,and good judges pronounced it to be one of the very best milking lierds in tlie country. The prices obtained, although not phenomenal, wero good, considering the dullness in> the caltJc. market. Mr Luxford "paid top price, 30 guineas, for the~ cow "Bonnie Mary." Mr Tully secured "Pearl" f0r.21 guineas. The -best cows brought from 20 to 30 guineas, older cows 10-to 17 guineas, twi-year^hcif-eis 9 to 13 guineas, ..yearling heifers 5 guineas to 10 guineas, calves £3 3s to £6. 6s. Tlie demand for bulls -was^ not sck good. Sultan was passed at 33 guineas. Yearling bulls sold at £6 6s to £9 9s, bull: calves £4 4s to £5 ss, crossbred cows £5-; 5s to £11 Us. Tlie sale of implements, etc., concluded a lengthy sale. """
