Especially are they of service on dairy farms, and where young cattle have to he fed during winter. For cows that may calve early in the season, plenty of green oats and good hay will greatly assist in the supply of milk. Settlors who are keeping their calves in, and who may be short of grass during the winter, will find them thrive well in a small paddock sown with oats and rape—a paddock which may he turned up in September for potatoes or other crop.” /Egles in the. Australasian at a recent date relates the following:—“ The Australian in London is, I am told, characterised by an anxiety to be recognised by somebody nr anybody. A retired Victorian judge, walking leisurely with a friend down tlic shady side of a West-end street was accosted by a Melbourne gentleman with “ How do you do, Judge ?” Now the judge is short-sighted, and and reading non-recognition in his face, the other continued, “ Don’t you remember me? lam the Hon.—. I was one of the Cabinet which appointed yon. Yon must often have seen me.” But the judge was still non-responsivo, and his companion, improperly suspicious, rudely suggested that perhaps “ the gentleman’s hair had grown since the last meeting.”
