Major Wilfred R. Snow, of the Royal Air force, who arrived in Sydney a few days ago, said to an interviewer: "So far as commercial flying is concerned, the technical problems have all been solved. We have made more progress in four .years of war than wc might hav made in. a century of peace. Machines in reasonably good weather conditions can make flights of 500 miles comfortablv. .It is, therefore, I think, simply a question of £ s, d. —will it pay'? I think aeroplanes will first be used regularly as mail carriers, but they must soon become very numerous. When 1 was first in England everyone stared at an aeroplane —watehed it out of sight. Now they are as common as motor cars. The organisation of the British aeroplane building business has been wonderful, and the end of the war should make thousands of machines available, with aviators and mechanics." Goat keeping for milking purposes deserves far more attention in NewZealand than it is at present receiving (states the "Journal of Agriculture"). We have only to look round and see the large number of unoccupied or partly-occupied sections, and patches of rough, hilly ground growing nothing but scrub and weeds adjacent to many workers' homes, to recognise that there is asplendid opening for people with limited capital to bring these into profitable use with much benefit to themselves and good results to the land. Thousands of acres at present lying idle in small patches all over the'country could, be leased at a mere nominal rent, or even secured rent-free in return for keping down the weeds. Again, many home sections in our outer suburban districts are large enough to run a goat; tethering can be largely practised in such situations. Goats as a means for supplying the home with a pure, wholesome milk up to three or four quarts a day, according to the breed, have, indeed, been woefully neglcted in New Zealand, the "Journal" holds, "especiallly when we see what beneficial advances have been made in that respect all over the world. This apathy is probably largely due to the fact that animals of good nrilk-ine-Rtrains have not been imported." NAZOI. TOR, CONVAISSCENTS. The convaleseent Influenza-patient, unless he takes due precautions, is a danger to every person he meets. Everyone recovering from Influenza or Pneumonia should frequently inhale through a handkerchief sprinkled with a few drops of NAZOL, and when sneezing or coughing should cover both mouth and nose with a handkerchief so prepared. NAZOL is a powerful, non-irritant, safe germicide. Only 1/6 evpT~*-vrhertfi,
