MILKING MACHINE EXPERIENCE. Before purchasing, or even trying a milking machine, ask the agent to give you the names and addresses of a dozen farmers who have used his machines for a period of not less than two years, any opinion based on shorter period is not worth attentionWith this information in hand, you can easily make direct enquiries frcm ■practical men who use the machines toassist in earning their living. Don't forget that the value of your herd, as well as the cost of the plant, depends on your getting correct- and disinterested information. The agents for the " LAWRENCE-KENNED Y-GIL-LIES" Milker will be happy to supply the names of hundreds of thoroughly .satisfied farmers who have used these successful machines for two, three, | four, and even five years. For full particulars apply to J. B. MacEwan and Co., Ltd., TJ.S.S. Co.'s Buildings, Wellington. There is more rejoicing in the Salvation Army over one man saved from suicide than over ninety-nine who \ never contemplated self-destruction. It is a sensational but important task: which has been taken in hand. Thought of the work brings to mind a haunting picture:—A man driven to despair by disappointed ambition, by the malignity of his contemporaries, by the apparent ruin of all his hopes, sat alone in a sombre room, counting out the last moments of life which he had assigned himself. Two loaded pistols were beside him, and the end seemed indeed come. Before he could pull the trigger to loose the ball which would send his soul adrift, Jhe heard a timid tap at his door, and a childish voice crying, " Papa, will you be friends?" The revolver was restored to its place. "I will be friends," said the man; "come on my boy." He opened the door and admitted his little son, and took him on his knee, and wept upon his golden curls. That tiny child, destined to drown unknown at sea, had come at the psychological moment to save a great genius. The man whom he saved from self-murder was Hector Berlioz, the greatest authority on orchestration.
