Boucher, Assistant Director of Orchards, commences a series of articles on fruit-growing which should prove very useful; Mr Primrose McConnell, of the Moumahaki Experiment Farm, has .an interesting article on the "Milking Shorthorn- ; Mr W. Dibble, manager of Ruakura Farm, tells something of his visit to England; Messrs H. A. Reid, F.R.C.V.S., and B. C. Aston, F.S.C., publish, the result of their .investigations into osseous cachexia, or a malignant bone disease of sheep; and there- is : .much other .instructive matter of general interest Every farmer should possess a copy. ■ .. .
