That is i, ;the ■ lowering and widening of the main road. ■ Owing to the wearing away of the sides of the embankment it is now , dangerously narrow; and with the great ...traffic on it there are sure to be accidents on it One of the councillors spbke : feelingly on the subject; as he nearly had ~. his.leg broken on it the other day. i The Standard says the Dulefield Factory ~,.;wUfturn out 70 tons of cheese this season. Of this 25 tons have been sent to the English market, for which nothing less than per lb has been received. The j I management have also supplied the Australian . market, which, has diverted the i England' to' a large extent throughout the colony.,. The Taratahi : Dairy i Company have' disposed of their -• •cheese: fori the season to a Wellington house, at 5d per lb. The various / factories are, not , making the same • amount of cheese, now, owing to the milk’supply decreasing.

" In reference, to Cowper’s Patent Tree and Root Destroyer, advertised in another column,, Mr J. H. Foot, of New South Wales, sends the following testimonial to to the proprietor —“In reply to your . enquiry, I fully tested the' merits of Cowpor’s Tree and Root Destroyer on my ' ‘father’s estate at. Nundoonin, near Yass, consisting of 700 acres, and t)ie whole area was cleared by this process. It totally clears the largest trees in from three to four months, when they are in a fit '.state to burn , readily. :T consider March to be the best month for using ' ' this ’ specific, though it can be used to advantage at any time except when the ' ’ hap' is down. When the timber is dry ■the roots burn readily right out. I could hot have cleared the, above laud by any ■other process so easily, even at four times the cost.' I foqnd the.fabpur ,in connect tion with its application very light, only r ‘‘‘Venturing to, boro a hole six inches deep ’ "'into ihe'trunk or root w itb an,inch auger, fill with the liquid and cork up! airtight. At the end of four mouths I started burning, and, in a short space of ;time the * y 'whole was burnt pif, theroots being burnt right out., I feel confident there';ir no easier, or >< .better, iway ol clearing large trees in the. world, and can ' recommend, its- use to all having laud ,to clear. In case! of large u' l ‘trees two'or tliree bores are advisable to .ensure certain success. The ground was i. - covered with large gum and mahogany [" itreee,'some hollow, but all full of life, and every tree was successfully dealt with.” ; ‘ Mr Rowe'Fennell invites tenders for grazing of Captain Russell’s paddock. /. .'
