Thirty landowners at Horowhenua have ' decided to stop all shooting on their pro- ' perties m order to give the pheasants liberated by the Wellington Acclimatisa- i tion Society a good chance to /become established m the district. The Labor Department m Auckland is experiencing, considerable difficulty m seeming suitable men for work on the North Island Main Trunk railway. For some time past no men requiring work have 'caved at the office. ' The Secretary" for Agriculture, who has returned from the South Island, states that the recent rains have greatly improved the Otago pasture lands, and tliat the turnip crop promieep to be excellent — indeed, ho says, the pastoral outlook, both m Otago and Canterbury, is 5 much brighter than it ha s been for several months. Mr A. Hill says that the tour of the Exhibition orchestra through the colony is not undertaken for the purpose of making money, but was arranged .through the instrumentality of a well-known lady m Wellington, whose object is to let as many people as possible hear the splendid orchestra. Personally, he does not think the tduar can pay. ■■- : Marketing at Addington is usually, confined to the sterner ee±, but at last Wednesday's market a precedent was created, when a; lady appeared as a bidder for both pigs and store sheep. The auctioneers from whom she made purchases will testify that her discernment and judgment was more than equal to that of the ordinary buyer. ; . . , The Wairarana Daily News says : — The- prices realised by the Dalefield cheese shipped by the Corinthic are probably the highest obtained 'by any- New Zealand company tins'' season. For 460 crate's the prices ranged from 66s to 68s. Twenty-three crates fetched 68s, and 80 crates 67s 6d. A previous shipment by the Kaikouxa realised from 65s to 68s. Mr~.G. Nye, a well-known, resident of Foxton (states the Herald) says tobacco cultivation was carried out on the banks of the Manawatu river by the late Hr T. U. Cook about 53 years ago. Tobacco was manufactured- and found a ready local and outside sale. ; The coarse leaves of the plant were also used for sheep dipping purposes m those days. The; manufacture of tobacco was supervised by 1 an expert whom- Mr Cook brought to- the; colony from Sydney. "■: ; ■ ' i ."I know for a fact," said Mr T. H. Howson, president of the Elesmere Fanners' Union, at the annual meeting at Leeston (Canterbury), on Thursday last, "that hud there been a fairly bountiful harvest last season the harvesters would have gone out on strike m our district m the midst of harvesting but some wise head saw 'that the crops were light, and that if the farm laborers had struck the farmers would have 'taken their own grain." The Auckland Herald, m .describing th c tour of the Hon. E. McNab in' Auckland province, says :-^Afc Te' Rau-a-Moa the Minister was much interested m the experiments that had been conducted to rid th© district of the ragwort weed. The land, all 'bush country and rich soil, was taken up on the occupation with right of purchase 1 tenure, and as soon as the bush j was burned off the yellow ragwort made j its appearance, taking possession of every j acre. The Government then sent up a number of crossbred sheep and grazed them on each settler's land m turn, paying 'a; small, sum per acre for grazing rights. Very soon the sheep conquered the ragwort, and now the settlers have sheep of their own, and a ragwort is scarcely ever allowed to flower. The difference is found m the fact that with the addition -of| the sheep on; the pastures the settlers are able to supply a quarter more milk to the factory than' they were while lunning cattl© alone, and the district shows every sign of prosperity on every hand. In reply to the Minister, local residents stated that they found that sheep on the same pasture as cows made no difference to the milk, and the butter was of a high grade. "Some little time ago," says Mr J. G. Boyle, Kelmscott, W.Ai, "I was suffering from a severe cough, which threatened to take a serious form. \ Hearing so much about Chamberlain's Cough Remedy, I decided to give it a trial, and to my great satisfaction was- completely cured by the time I had finished the fii-st bottle.

Sir John- Forrest lias received a cabfe from Mi- Valder, the New South Wales Commercial Agent m South Africa, that about 1200 Australians have applied to him for repatriation. Of these, Mr Valder thinks that about 1000 will be found suitable. He hopes to have them despatched during May. Sir John Forrest has cabled Mr Valder to urge him to exercise. the utmost care so that. all the persons granted passages shall be of good character. .-■, No one need now suffer the agonising pains _of sciatica and acute rheumatism, as quick relief may be had by applying Chamberlain's Pain Balm. This fact has been clearly demonstrated m many thousands of .cases. This liniment relieves the pain, and makes sleep and rest possible, which is "alone worth many times its cost. For sale by E. D. Smith chemist. "In looking, for traces of the '.fruit fly." says Mr French, Victorian Government entomologist, "the first symptom the observer sees is a .very minute puncture m the fruit. The mark is often so small that it cannot be discerned, unless with the aid of an ordinary pocket lens. Even then the puncture cannot be. noticed a- few hours after the attack, as the outer skin closes over and assumes its normal appearance. Sometimes as many as twelve punctures are made on one peach or other fruit, and' nearly all the punctures contain an egg, which will m time produce a fly. The decay of the fruit sets m with great rapidity after the fly has deposited the eg#, and usually within a couple of days .from that time the close observer can see a bruised or pulpy appearance under the skin, m. the region of the attack. If the fruit can be touched at that spot a considerable area > under the finger will bo found to-be soft and decomposed." THE KING OF PAIN. Those who have felt its keen, cutting pains know that Rheumatism is torture, and is rightly called the "Pain . King." In the day-time Rheumatism is bad enough, but during, the long, weary hours of night it is maddening. Immediate relief can be obtained from rheumatic pains by a thorough rubbing with Dr Sheldon's Magnetic Liniment. Keep ru>bing until you feel the magnetic glow penetrating. to the very bones. A peaceful night will result. The most stubborn cases of rheumatism will yield to this persistent: treatment. Obtainable at A. W./.J. Mann's, chemist, agent. A gontleman who has just returned to Wellington from Christohurch made it his business while there to inquire into the probabilities of a severe slump following on the Exhibition. All his investigations tended to the belief that business will merely.- resume its normal proportions, and that there will be no unwonted slackness. Not only will the demolition of the Exhibition buildings employ a number of men for months to come, but there are a large number of contracts pending, and sevelral others have been concluded. Shopkeepers also have no fear of a slack future. George Andrews, Rochester, Victoria, writes : "My occupation of a rabbit trapper obliges me to be out at night attending to the traps, and while so doing I contracted a severe cold. After trying other cough mixtures on the market, I was recommended to give Chamberlain's Cough Remedy a trial. It gave me immediate relief, and three bottles completely cured me. I can with every confidence recommend Chamberlain's Cough Remedy to anybody having- a cough or cold." For sale by E. D. Sinith t ohemist..
