CORRESPONDENCE.

♦- fTo tee Editor of Tim Hbiiald.J Sir, — Has the lime kuin yet. I ham getten very ankious about hit, fur tho elekshuna hair drawing nere to hand, and 1 shuld like to aye the limo delivered before polling day, for my wife Maria Theresa says that I must bo iian old hidiot to think that I shall hever git the lime, that hit was only han elekshun dodge to ketch wotes, hand then she goes hon nagging about the Farm Homestead Assochashun, hand says that she supposes that I shall wane the lime to manure the farm with that I shall git from the Assochaahun. She nows that the Assochashun has busted hup, but that the member has such konfideuce hin the Seddon Guverment that we hair going to start another won after tho elekshun, for I suppose that the Guverment has forgot hall about hus, but wo must not forget them lion polling day, hand that I have no doubt that, the Guverment will (it liua hall out with f.irms wen they hare returned again. Hand then she starts hof again tellen me that hif my head don't hace before tho Seddon Guverment goes back again that I shall be a long time without a head hace. She says that the people hair not to bo had the third time, that twice wasenuf; but hit his no use talken to her for she his so onstinate. I have boon tryon to explain to hor the good that the Guvernment has dune for the district by buying hup the sheep runs and kutting them hup into small farms, hand hof she Btarts agon sayen that the Guverment paid 2 much for the land -that she nows better land in the Bay let for 11s per acre than the land at Ormond, hand that no farmer kan afford to pay LI 2s Gd per acre tor good land hat the present time. For that the price of produce is so low, butter 4d per lb, milk 2Jd por gallon, springing cows from los to 30d per head, and every other product at the lowest ebb, that it the Farmer got the land hand cows for 10s por acre hit would take him hall his time to make a liven. I wish that sume grate liberel would kume along hand se hif he culd not konvert her. For hit his no use me talken to' her for she kau nock spots hof me hat talken. the unly thing that wo agree about hin Mr Carroll's addres his to hunt tho sheep back. Wot busines has tsheop hon the Huts. Wo must bee Hats 2 havo them ear, wen we want the land kut hup into small sections hand stock hit with half starved Cocky 2 es, workon from morning to night hand slavon there souls hout to p^y tho Guverment the rent to remedy tho mistake that they made in paying JL2O per acru for land that would not brint; much nioro that hafF af hit hif holl'erod by publicauction 2 morrow. ] Kant rite hany more so hope you hair quito well.
