The party leaves the Association rooms, George street, at 2.30 p.m., and all young men are cordially invited. Mr, Sullivan, who milks Mr Mitchell's cows at Studholme, has been using the milking machines for two -seasons, and finds them very satisfactory. The young cows, take quite kindly to the modern method. He finds that cows that have been handmilked before are not so easily convinced 'of-the superiority of the new method, but soon get' to realise that objections, no matter how vehement, are useless. Several civil cases were called at '1 lie Magistrate's Court, yesterday, but only one was actually heard. This was » ease in which-AleWhirter and Sons tilted W.

A .southern fanner who passed through Timaru by rail to Christchurcli yesterday, \y«." heard to observe, as he admired the *plendid appearance of the country from the carriage window, that South Canterbun- farmers were going to enjoy another .grand season if one -tlr'ng, which lie feared, did not happen, namely, a strike of hands lin the middle of harvest. In nuhscquent conversation with a "Herald" reporter, the farmer said that such a strike would b? disastrous to the farmers. and ho feared it might hap|H-ti. iHcause tho farm hands, or a certain section of them, juid I6*t their case before the Arbitration Court, and the Government had taken no notice of their demand for .
