Owing to the distress prevailing in Sydney from want of employment, labour commissioners have been compelled to •draw up regulations in which it is provided that married men are to have preference over single men, and married men with families a further preference over tbose without families. On all works in or adjacent to Sydney only married men will be employed so long as they are available. The Canterbury Acclimatisation Society is considering the practicability of importing a few chamois 'next year. Ina letter received from Herr Karl Hagenbeck, it was stated that these animalß are becoming very rare, and a pair would cost from £50 to .£6O. The European ibex is practically extinct, but the Siberian {ibex could be supplied at from £50 to £60 each for males, and from .£75 to £100 for females. Herr Hagenbeck suggested the Argalai sheep aa an animal suited to -the climate of New Zealand. 1 his sheep, whioh would cost from £150 to £170 a pair, weighs when full grown 4001 b, the head alone weighing f torn 401 b to 501 b Mr Beokles Wilson describes in " CasBell's Magazine " ihe Caaadian sport of ice-boating. The untravelled Briton will find it difficult to realise the record of the speed attained by these queer craft — as Mr Beokles says :— " To those who have never seen an ice-boat dart away, and shrink to a mere speck on the horizon in a few minutes, the speed, were it not well vouched for, would be wholly incredible. A gentleman residing at Ploughkeepsie wished to speak to his brother, who had just started by train for New York. He therefore sprang into his iceboat, soon passed the train, although it was an express, and was on the platform of the station at JSewburgh when the train drew up. At one point of his journey he had made two miles ; n one minute. Nevertheless, in spite of the various published records, it may confident ly be stated that the greatest speed is neve recoded, but it always occurs when no one iB expecting it, Over 100 miles in an hour is. however, an authenticated perfomance." A correspondent at present on the West Coast informs Christchurch " Truth " that the timber industry is looking very well there just now. Orders for white pine at 7s f o.b. still continue to come from Melbourne for the butter box business. A Wellington miller sent two and a half million feet to South America to test the market there. It is not long ago that white pine wood was considered of little value ; now it is believed to be the oaly timber suitable for butter boxes, and the West Coast should export a quantity of it in the near future. The West Coast Timber Company has been asked to quote for an order of four or five million feet of red pine. The demand for dredge building is steadily increasing, and as the price to the local trade is muoh better than the export price, the Utter trade mußt Buffer if the demand for dredge building continues. Lhe export trade from Grey mouth is now about fourteen million feet per annum, A number of experimeLti iv buttermaking with non-pasteurisedjand pasteurised oream were carried r>ut by the Dairy Commissioner (Mr J. A. Kinsella) at the Waverley Dairy Factory last year. The several lots of butter were irozen and stored at 25d0 . Examinations were made by experts ab one, three, and six montns from date of manufaotue, the final judging being performed by the Government graders gathered in conference. At the time of manufacture there was practioally no difference in the flavour and quality cf lots under 00m-pa-ison. After storage, however, it was found— l. Thab tbe ripened craam produced a better keeping artiole of butter than the sweet aod unopened cream. 3 That the p» teurisei cream scored decisively over the non-pasteurised. 3. That the butter from the oream properly ripened with a starter had a superior flavour and showe ; better keeping quality than that from the self-ripened oream. HTIHriBV" 1 — >"--•—-* — ~..r.., r^.
