nowhere to sleep except the wet deck, where they remained till night without any covering. While lying in Ushant Bay they had to discharge 200 tons of coal from the hold into tho bunkers. The sailmaker was unable to work, ns he was not in good health. Ho was thereforo sent on shore for two days and nights without any means of getting any food or shelter. The rest being exhausted, and having had no sleep and littlo food, spoke to the commander of tho transport, and told him that they could not work any more, but they were ordered by him TO UK I>UT IN IRONS without food if they did not work, and they worked as well as they could until arrival at Sandy Island, whero they were sent on shore by the consul, and they were Eiipplied with boots and clothes, and received good treatment. On board tho John Elder they were also treated with great kindness, and now seem to have recovered. Tho men drowned were:—Captain Jennings, of Ipswich ; Mr Bryden, the second officer, of Chester ; W. Clark, carpenter, of Glasgow; Sydney Snelie, apprentice, of Liverpool; John Docherty, able seaman, of Greenoek ; James Mullen, cook, of Glasgow; David Oolfio, ordinary seaman, of Glasgow ; and a Chilian stowaway. "\TEW BUCKEYE FRAMELESS AND JIN LOWDOWN BINDEKS. These machines, so successful in the grass crops of the South, where machines by other makers proved useless and had to withdraw, embody all that is known in the higher branches of harvesting machinery. We shall give public trials as early as our present engagements will permit, and farmers who intend buying new machines this year will do well to wait and see the result. We take no part in the competition for the cup offered by a competitor, through the Southland Agricultural Society, from matter of principle. The rules laid down for that contest are admirable, and if the prizes offered were provided out of the entrance fees, or as bona fide encouragement, from the funds of the Association, we should have been early in the field with both Lowdown and Frameless machines. Personally, we regard the presentation of such a trophy as a diplomatic method of bolstering up a prize list; very useful in the other colonies where the modus operandi is not understood. In the Australasian .many such trials are reported. When one highly respectable firm recently presented a trophy, their machine won it in the expert class to which it was allotted; whilst in the farmers' class, competing at same time for a trophy provided by another competitor, competitor number one, like the man who fell out of the balloon, was not in it, and the giver, as usual, won it. All this forms nice matter for an effective circular in some other colony where the history is not known, and when Manager Mac, having brilliantly won his own trophy, poses as philanthropist-in-chief by presenting it in feeling terms to the president of the association, tho little comedy is complete. Not this time, Mac, thanks 1 buckeye harvester co., Bond street, DUNfIDIN. mOURISrS and others visiting New ZeaX land are always delighted with our beautiful evergreen foliage and ferns, especially those who bave ascended any of the mountains in the Lake district or West Coast Sounds. During the last four years large shipments have been sent to England, Italy, France, and Japan with great success; indeed, out of a shipmeat of over 200 species sent to the Royal Gardens, Kew (London), only nine plants succumbed to the trying voyage. The success was due to the fact that all the plants were thoroughly established in the Wardian cases before sending away, and also to the short time occupied in transit compared to a few years ago when sailing vessels were the only traders between New Zealand and Britain. The stock of Native Plants and Ferns at Hawthorn Hill Nursery, Mornington, are admitted by all to be the finest extant, and will well repay a visit,—George Matthews, Native Seed and Plant Exporter, Hawthorn Hill, Mornington ; and Moray place, Dunedin. KEEP YOUR STOCK HEALTHY By simply using RESTORING, The Bowick Patent Botanic Flavoured. You may not know its value, but thousands do, and gratefully own that to it they are indebted for renewed health in the stable, and among cattle, sheep, and pigs. We have sold quite a lot in Dunedin, and indeed were sold out; but the arrival of the Taranaki has replenished stocks. A tablespoonful once or twice a day, well mixed in the usual food (the latter should be slightly damped), thus securing economy in the Stables —sleekness of coat—so per cent, better health, with 10 per cent, less food—health without physic—unequalled for speed or draught. The strongest, cheapest, and best flavourer, without drugs or minerals. A Customer says: " The Restorine has also done us good. I had a horse badly off its feed, but as soon as the Restorine was given him, improved, would eat anything put before him, worked easier, and looked better than ever I saw him." NIMMO AND BLAIR keep if. 5 An Ingenious way of scaring eff small birds has (6aystheNorthOtago Times) been devisedby a farmpr In the Oamaru district. Rabbits are plentiful along the hedges, and he shoots a few of the rodents, and ties them to the tops of poles among his crops. The hawks come about, and sailing around, keep all the small birds in the neighbourhood under cover of tho hedges, trees, &c. The farmer finds it a capital plan, and although It is now rather late in the eeri3on to put it in practice, it might not be a bad plan for thoae afflicted by email birds to follow while next year's crop is ripening.
