The best prices will be secured in March and April, and, he estimates, will be 2s 6d each for good poultry, and Is additional for the choicest Dorkings, Plymouth Rocks and Brahmas. He advocates a united colonial exhibit at the various agricultural shows in the United Kingdom, beginning in June. At a meeting of the Hawke's Bay Agricultural and Pastoral Association on Friday, on the motion of Captain Bussell, it was decided that it is absolutely essential for the proper supervision of the stock industry, and in the interest of the consumers of meat, that a regular scientific branch should be added to the Agricultural Department of the Government, and that to give effect to this opinion the services of an eminent bacteriologist should be obtained from Europe to report on the various diseases in sheep and cattle the origin nature and prevention of which is at present unknown. It was also resolved to enlist the co-operation of kindred societies throughout the Colony in this matter.

They can get five hundred forms printed with envelope#to mtek tiw Mto office tox ita 6d.
