A retired Wellington business man not long ago returned to the windy city after a world tour and was referring in the smoke-room of his hotel recently to some of his experiences. He said that during his travels ho had made it his business as an old smoker to sample as many brands of tobacco as he could, “and I suppose I shall be within the mark,” he added, “when I say that I have tried out fifty or sixty different kinds while en route. Not one of them, was equal in my opinion, to the New Zealand toasted tobacco. For flavour and fragrance, and above all for its comparative freedom from nicotine—due, as they tell me, to it being toasted—this tobacco stands alone. It is unique. Many a pipeful did I give away during my trip, and everybody liked it.” The toasting process referred to by this gentleman—an elaborate one enough—renders the tobacco so treated perfectly harmless. As most smokers know there are four brands: Navy Cut No. 3 (Bulldog), Cavendish, Riverhead Gold, and Cup Plug No. 10 (Bullshead), *

“I have no sympathy with the farmers of New Zealand, including myself,” said Mr M. Meyer, at the annual meeting of the New Zealand Shorthorn Association. "A few years ago we were getting Is 8d a pound for butterfat. What did we do but career round the country, buying a farm from Jones and selling it to Dickson at an inflated cost? Not only were we careering about the country, but we produced dirty products. We got slack in everything. The sooner we get back to realisation and clean methods the better.” No fewer than nine New Zealand engineers gre engaged on the construction of the Lower Zambesi bridge, in Portugese East Africa. The bridge, which will give Nyassaland direct connection with Beira by rail, is being built by the well-known English firm, the Cleveland Bridge Company. The resident engineer (Mr Handman) was agent for the Armstrong-Whitworth Company at Arapuni, and it was there that he becanje acquainted with the New Zealanders who are now assembled from different parts of the world to assist in this very important work. An unusual incident, llluairating the strange tricks Nature sometimes plays is reported from the Taupiri district. On July 14 a large white sow, owned by Mr G. Mathers, gave birth to a litter of five. She was taken to the running paddock and placed in a pep, but would not take the five pigs born toe her, The answer to this strange behaviour came four days later, when she gave birth to a further litter of sixteen.
