After being abandoned to the underW '? th - a hardw<wl cargo hZ a / , h ® sch °oner Valmarie has ■ doate d off Farewell Spit gafelv into Wellington harbor. The enterpii ing purchaser was Mr E Tagker who employed a. salvage party of S .x under Mr E. R. Lane, of Rfeton Tasker bought the vessel which had cost £12,000 to build in that’ 7 aS T fer €mbedded in sand that he planned to discharge the hardwood cargo on the spit, carrying it by tram, line to Puponga f or shipment. These operations commenced on April 6 and in two weeks they had discharg-’ ed about 50,000 feet of timber and the which at the beginning of the woik had been firmly banked up by sand on either side had commenced to dear herself. A strong current set in om the west and by degrees began to clear the sand away from the starboard side of the ship. On the 20th of May Mr E. R. Lane of Picton arrived with a pumping outfit for the purpose dearing the vessel’s hold of water, the Valmane was then about 200 yards from high-water mark down by the head, and full of water. At low tide there was about a foot of water over the hatches, and when the tide was high the whole ship was submerged. A week later the vessel had righted herself and a start was made to pump her dry. It was thought that if the Valmarie were lightened she might float. Consequently, to aid the work two tackles were secured to the fore mast and mizzen, the other ends being fixed to two five foot logs embedded in sand about a quarter of a mile away. By this time an appreciable change had taken place at the Spit for the strong current had completely washed away the sand from the starboard' side and had left twelve feet of water. On the port side the sand was still six feet deep. At two-hour intervals the tackles were heaved on and the process had the result of gradually lifting the Valmarie from out of the hole in which she had been resting. More water was pumped out, the schooner became noticeably Tighter and at 8 o’clock last Sunday morning she floated. Though looking considerably knocked about the vessel is sound.

Experiments carried out from time tr line at the Warrnambool High School farm regarding the feeding of dmrv cattle are of considerable interest to the farming community. During 1921 the manager of the farm, Mr T. A Brittjebank, made a test of the effect produced by feeding concentrates. For the purpose he selected an Ayrshire particular animal gave 27391 b of Z as recorded in the Government herd test figures. In 1921 she was fed on concentrates, and her milk yield for the year increased to 526Ub—-a. rse nf 24721 b. The cow calved in March, 1921 A start in the special feeding ' treat! ment was made by giving her a. small ration of mixed concentrates—brail and linseed meal—which was gradually increased as time went on, and it was noticed that as the allowance of concentrates went up, so did the milk yield. In April the cow produced of milk, in May 5141 b, and in June 833. When the month of July was reached, the ration of bran and linseed meal was 101 b a day, but this apparently was more than the cow was able to digest, and she suffered from an attack of biliousness, with a consequent, shaip reduction in the milk flew to 651 for the month. Concentrates were cut out until the cow had regained her normal state of health, when a fresh start was made with a small ration, gradually increasing it again, but keeping it well within the limits of safety, which previous experience had indicated ’the August yield of milk was 7501 b. In

September the ration of concentrates was again increased beyond what the cow was able to properly assimilate, and the milk flow for that month was only 6601 b. In October and November the ration of bran and linseed meal was kept just below the maximum mark for that particular animal, and duringthoee months the cow yielded J3sib and 7141 b of milk. The experience is particularly instructive as showing not only the enormously increased yield which is to be obtained from the employment of concentrated foods, but also the necessity for ascertaining the maximum quantity which each animal is able profitably to make use of, and not exceeding that allowance.

“Is there a tax on motor lorries?” asked a member of the Executive of the South Canterbury -Automobile Association at a recent meeting. ‘No, but there should be,” replied several of those present. Mr Bernard Tripp remarked that he had recently discussed the point with a member of Parliament, who had said that he was of the opinion that motor lorries were cutting out trains and at the same time were running free of tax. The chairman (Mr W. W. Baxter) said that Geraldine, Temuka, and other small centres were largely being supplied with goods by lorry, and Fairlie was the same, the lorries in this ease running alongside the railway all the way. Members testified that the road suffered enormously and were constantly in disrepair owing to the heavy lorries. Referring to branch lines, Mr Tripp said that as things were going it would soon be a first consideration to have a good road rather than a good railway service to country centres.
