A South Wairarapa dairy farmer recently sent. 20 cull cows to the freezing works. They were tlie lowest testing cows of his herd, and, having ascertained this, lie at once sent them to the works instead of passing them 011 to anybody else. EYESIGHT AND ARTIFICIAL LIGHT. LEADING EXPERT'S OPINION. A noted London Specialist states that 75 per cent, of optical troubles are caused through working in close proximity to electric light or gas. A soft, mellow, steady light, as given by Golden Ray Candles is the ideal illumination. "G»ldea Rays" are specially hardened candles and don't wilt nor splutter. Burn slowly and clearly for hours. More economical than imported brands. Apply Auckland Merchants. 4
