Offence has been taken in some quarters at certain recent statements concerning the troublesome characteristics of the'-Aus-tralian 'worker who comes •to New Zealand. When the local slaughtermen struck it ;was suggested, that the prime movers in the strike wei-e Australians, and later, in the.South, Mi* Millar stated that the trouble there was. due to the Australian, element. v The Melbourne "Argus," referring' to the statement says:—-\'As a matter of fact, the men who caused the trouble were tht».same men who. came* over to Australia from New Zealand last year and promoted; the . strikes \at the meat freezing workss at Footscray. They went back to New Zealand, and there was trouble there."

K.G" was brought'out. Where are all those machines now? How many farmers have rued the day. they were tempted to' instal a machine after seeing a brief trial,? The "Lawrenoe-Kennedy-Gillies". has been used night and morning by hundreds -of practical farmers for the past two, three, four, and even five years, and is the only machine proved beyond n. dnu&t to be non-iniurious to the cows-.
