MATTERS AFFECTING PASTORALISTS.

I Really, the contents of the current num- - ber of "the Pastoralkts' Review compel unqualified admiration — there is so much both in letterpress and illustrations which is of absorbing interest to pastoralists. Among; articles which stand out is one on "The ■ Sequence of Closer Settlement," while others which should receive close attention; deal with "The Difficulties of the Wooß Trade," "Labour and the Law," "Alfalfa Growing in the Argentine," "The Maggot; » Fly," and "Savage Stallions." A contribution of an original character on "Stoats and Weasels as Rabbit Destroyers,", from the pen of Mi Robert Guthrie, a South Canterbury farmer, contains valuable) information, and certainly deserves carefulf pernsal. Then there are specially-written) descriptions of the Hawke's Bay and Ma-na.-wafu A. and P. ehowe, and, of course, thd issue includes the usual reports tby specialists on "Tbe Lire Stock Markets of! Ausfcralatta," "The London Meat Trade,'* and *TGhe Home Wool Maxket." It is indeed difficult to even, summaries the contents of tbe Pastoralists' Review int a manner winch Trill do that altogether exceptional illustrated journal justice. Iff is better to eixnply advise botih pastoralists; and agriculturists to become subscribers-^-' the cost is only jBl a year, — and obtain thi« excellent budget of reading matter resulaxlx for themselves,
