Mr Fow has a special ad\ ertisement in this issue describing a most comprehensive list of goods and furniture at his mart, Collingwood screet.

Magpies are stated to be breading rapidly in the upper districts of the AshWurton County, and are to be seen in large numbers following the ploughs and leading voraciously on the grubs and other insects. A farmer of that district stated that an endeavor should •r«3 made to get the magpies acclimatised all over the country, as he is of opinion that they would be a great factor in re-

dicing the grub pest. So far, the birds have not established •tibemselv.es in the lower districts.

Formerly a duty of 20 p.er cent, aid valorum was impos-ed on all linen, cotton, and ninon piece goods imported which had patterns, woven devices, or other designs indicating that they are to be cut and to be manufactured into separate articles. The duty has now been removed by Governor's order. To obtain the benefit of this concessioni importers are clearly to understand that the goods must be continuous-woven ; There must be no break in the weaving not even of am eighth of a>n inch.

The circular letter from the Rangdora Borough Council drawing attention to the alleged abuses of the kinematograph, which has been going the rounds of local bodies the last few days, received short shrift at the hands of the Miramar municipality. It was disposed of in a few seconds, a councillor remarking that "too much was being made of the business." The class of picture screened nt Wellington could not be objected to. The Mayor agreed that there was no need for a censor, and it was decided to reply to Rangiora to that effect.

"I am a great advocate for the use of salt when storing hay for winter use" explained a Hiwinui farmer to a Paknerston Standard reporter. "I don't stack my hay, but store it in a shed, and with each load I distribute some ten or fifteen pounds of coarse salt, and it would astonish you to see how the cows relish it. They don t leave a blade of the hay behind. My cows also have a access to rock salt in their paddocks, and I can testify to its value as regards their health and condition. Perhaps you may have seen cows chewing hemes. Well, I believe that is to get something similar to salt that the animals crave for. I have had to make some of my cows drop a bone they have been chewing for an hour or so, which they would swallow if they could. 1 make it a rule never to leave any bones lying about where the cows can get them."
