T. Owen. The composition destroys all weeds, preserves the sleepers and prevents the rails, fish-plates and bolts and nuts from oxidising, thus saving still further money. It has Been tried for some two years on the Castlecliff railway, and the Government are now experimenting with it on the line between Patea ana Hawera.
