The expression, " I will eat my hat " is* likely to lose favour with those people whoi' alwaya offer to perform some wonderful, feat in the event of their pronounced opinions being proved incorrect. Two gen* tlemen recently had a dispute as to the? amount of stripping that had to be done after the milking machine, and one of theHS offered to "drink all the stripping^" lef& by the ''Lawrenee-Kennedy-Gillies'^ macchin© on a dozen cows. The offer being accepted, a tea cup was secured, and found? ampl© to hold the strippings, which wer« aa easily swallowed as the bet was won. J. B. MacEWAN & CO. (LIMITED), Sole Agents, Dunedia,
