It was resolved to hold a three days show, and to arrange, Wellington and Picton birds by Saturday's boat. It was resolved to put classes for cats on the schedule for next show. Correspondence was received from Mr T. A. 11. Field. M.P., with regard to the deputation which waited upon him in December on the feed question. It | was reported that the Government was selling damaged imported wheat in Wellington for fowl feed. Members exDiessed the opinion that, as the Nelson Poultrv Association had been first in the field with a request to the Government for Canadian wheat, and the Association had agreed in December last to take 100 sacks of anv wheat that might be rejected for milling, the Agricultural Department was not treating them .fairly if the wheat was being sold in Wellington. The secreta-y stated that Mr Field was already writing to the Minister in a similar strain. A cup was donated bv Mr R. T. Bland, and was allotted to Black Red Old English Game. The donor was ihanked.

WHAT HOUSEWIVES DO. One reason why so many housewives will have" none but Shariand's Vinegar on their table and in their pantry, is because they know its someness is guaranteed. Shariand's have a reputation for quality, and would never place their name on a product that could injure the consumer. This is a point worth remembering next time you order vinegar. Insist on being supplied with Shariand's, and you will get a Malt Vinegar possessing a pleasing aroma and a mellow, piquant flavour. Its use will add to the enjoyment and healthfulness of salads, oysters, and lobster. Sold in bulk and bottles by all grocers.*
