Improving Dairy Farms.

That gradual improvments should he made by inspectors Io the dairy farms they visited, was the opinion expressed at yesterday’s conference of the Royal Sanitary Institute (Wanganui -Taranaki sub-section) by Inspector G. Fear. Ho contended that these improvements should he made gradually, and that a little should be done each year. He held the view that the time was coining when all dairy farmers would have installed coolers and refrigerators iu connection with their milking plants. A Lethal Weapon. A banana is not usually regarded as a lethal weapon (say s the Southland Times), but a Gladstone resident made use of one to protect his household goods from jobbery the other evening. Hearing a noise in his pantry he opened the door and saw an intruder. He was unarmed, but his brain worked quickly. Seizing a ripe banana he dealt the thief such a blow behind the ear that hp fell dead. He has come to the ((inclusion that mousetraps are nut nearly as effective as bananas.
