During the hearing of a case in the Magistrate’s Court at Wellington, in which a motorist was charged with negligently driving a car, counsel for the defendant commented upon the law which compelled" fast-moving vehicles to carry red tail-lights, while horsedrawn vehicles were not required to carry them. The -laws dealing with motor, vehicles were much more modern than those dealing with horse-drawn vehicles, and a small disc of red on a horse-drawn vehicle was a protection for a motorist, he contended.

“I think there is not the slightest doubt that standardisation is detrimental to your cheese,” was the opinion of one of the representatives of the buying firms present at the annual meeting of Kiritaki (Dannevirke) suppliers on Tuesday. “It cannot come up to the full cream cheese, and I shall be surprised if within the next three years standardisation is not given up altogether.” One of Messrs Newman Brothers’ service care, while on the trip from Nelson to Blenheim last week, descending -the Wangamoa Hill, ran into a deer. The deer which appeared to be a six-pointer, was apparently meandering up the hill when tne car swung round a' bend and dazzled it with its headlights. Startled, by this sudden apparition, the ahimal sprang forward and was knocked. over, but quickly regained its feet and fled from the scene. A front mudguard and a projecting horn on the ear were slightly bent by the impac,t. “It is opportune to draw attention to the fact that several classes of local authorities are not required by law to take security from their officials for the faithful execution of their duties,” says the annual report of the Auditor-General. ‘‘The failure of some local authorities to require those officers dealing with moneys to enter into fidelity bonds has resulted in considerable loss to the ratepayers, and the Audit Office recommends that steps be taken at the earliest opportunity to bring all local bodies into line in this matter, and that it be made compulsory for all persons dealing with local bodies’ funds to give sufficient security for the faithful execution of their duties ” .

Dairy farmers should feed their calves according to their several capacities. They are better just a little hungry than overfed. Commence with 3to 5 quarts of the mother’s milk per day, in two meals. Increase, gradually to. from 4 to 6 quarts until the end of the fourth week, when separated milk and "Tui” Calfmeal should be fed.”'" ' ' na)
