The Herald cm respondent, who is a sham-Liberal, hints that the member for Waipawa is about to displace the member for Napier and such-like rubbish. We ought to know as much about it ns anyone, and wo know that so long as Mr Smith cares to retain a seat in the House, it is Waipawa ho will stand for and no other constituency. At a general meeting of the Waipawa Small Farms Associations the follswing resolution was carried unanimously: "That the secretary bo directed to write to W. C. Smith, Esq., M.H.H., and thank him on behalf of tho Association for his exertions in aiding and advancing its interests while in Wellington.”

From the Ist to the 15th century; ph from the loth lathe ISih, and (d) from the LSth to the present time.

We inspected, yesterday, at Mr Montcith s store, Moodville, a new milk strainer, patented by Mr Garland, wholesale tinware merchant, of Wellington. It is about the size ot the ordinary strainer, hut has the advantage of a moveahlc seivc (three are supplied with each) and. the tunnel end hung removeable at pleasure, the new strainer is far more easily cleaned than the common one. The seivc is the weak point in a milk strainer, and it cannot he repaired. The seivc in the patent strainer is moveahlc, and now ones can he obtained at pleasure. There should he a large sale for this newest of dairy utensils, Mr Seavey is the agent tor thia district.
