"Experiment,” Roxburgh—Your suggestion might be made to orchardists in your district. " Tin Can Mail;” Mosgiel.—Briefly, thi story of the “Tin Can” mail is that when ships call at Niuafoou. an outlying island of the Tongan group, where there is no harbour, the mail is thrown overboard in a sealed tin, and is taken ashore by islanders who come out in their canoes. Visits to the island by shins are irregular, even in ordinary times, and while the war continues it is impossible to say when there may be a call there, if at all.
