Farmers who have not yet used our Linseed Oil-C.iko for their stock will do well to g.it a trial lot
at once. One sack will cost you 125., and you will not regret the outlay. Stock of all kinds benefit largely from the use of Oil-Cake, and in fact no farm or
station should be without it: it soon restores strength to sickly stock, and saves the lives of many valuable animals.

Greece forced war upon Turkey.
This action would never have been

a general European war, and in

what would probably prove a more
bloody war than any recorded in
history. The King and Government tried to stem the tide of
popular excitement, but at last recognised the impossibility of the
task and yielded to the clamour.

near some thick gorse, about live chains
on the west side of the Kowa' river bed.
Upou moving the go'Si they discovered
the body. It was rigid, death having
taken place some time, the tin oat being
very deeply cat.
The body was placed in charge of the
police pending the inquest which is to be
held.
Up to the present the perpetrator of
the deed is unknown, but suspicion attaches to a stranger who was seen in the
district during tho day.
A strong party of uolicc went to Amberley from the adjoining distric's.
The Christennrch police were notified
of the affair, and at about line o'clock
last night Inspector Brohatn, with Detectives Benjamin, Maddeu and Marsatk,
and Mounted-constable Sheppard, left by
special train for the scene of the tragedy.
A close search is to be made for the
supposed murderer.
Constable Roche arrested a mau at
Waikari last night on suspicion of being
concerjcd in the murder.
The spot where the body was found is
hardly more than half a mile from the
township, and it is beside one of the
main roads leading to Rangiora. Reside
the read on the D.uglas property, there
is a long plantation of pna trees devoid
of undergrowth, and next to the road
there is an open ,virc fence. About half
a chain inside this is a gorse fence which
had been recently trimmed. Between
the pines there is a footpath, and it is
likely that the girl svas walking along
this when attacked.
The girl was tall and delicate, and it is
supposed that when she was attacked by
the murderer, whose object was evidently
outrage, she fainted, and was completely
at his mercy.
This supposition was borne out by the
fact that there was no blood on her
hands when the body was found. Her
e'othes were disarranged, and the upper
part was covcied with the gorse which
had been tiimmcd from the fence.
A young man named William Swan,
who was working three hundred yards
from the spot at the time the crime was
supposed to have been committed, heard
no sound.
This morning Inspector Broham and
Detectives Benjamin, Maddeu, and
Miu-sacl;, and Constables Roche and
Johnstone made a thorough search in
the hope of finding evidence, but were
not able to discover anything of importance.
Constable Roche, hearing that a man,
whom he had met in the a'ternon neir
Glasnevin when on his way t> Waikari,
had been seen near the scene of the crime
at the time it was supposed to have been
committed, started for Waikari immediately after the body had been taken to

The man remarked that ha had made

Fraser, is '22 years of age. Ho was

serge trousers, and soft felt hat, all his
garments being the worse for wear. He
is smooth faced, and has an enlargement
of the throat, which is very prominent.
He stated that lie was a native of the
West Coast.
This morning he was subjected to a
thorough examination >y Dr. Fitzhcnry
for any traces of a struggle upon his
body or limbs.
It is known that ho called at Mr Ii
Parson's place, near the plantation, and
obtained some sugar, just before eleven
o'clock, and he was seen at the plantation a little later.
The girl would, from the time she left
her mother's house a quarter of a mile
away, have been at this spot at the saaie
hour.
These facts arc all that arc known at
present to connect the man with the
crime.
In his pocket was found a white handled knife with which the crime might
have been committed. The blade and
handle showed clean under the microscope, but inside the handle there was a
clot of something very much like blood.
At uooi to-day Dr. Fit/.heury made an
examination of the body of the victim,

formation of a mounted infantry corps in
the Waikato was held in the Volunteer
Hall, Hamilton, on Thursday. There
were a good many present, among the
number being Colonel Banks and Adjutant Grant.
Capt. Rcid introduced Coloi:cl Banks,
who briefly gave the details of the proposed tro'ip. He was quite sine the
material was at baud to form a corps
that might be a pattern one for the
colony. Having belonged to a mounted
section himself, he naturally bad a leaning that way, and would do everything
in Iris power to make the troop eflicieut.
Mr Higgiuson pointed out that it was
manifestly unfair that because a few of
the men did not appear for the regulation number of drills the rest of the company should be deprived of capitation.
Colonel Banks said there was no means
of forcing them to attend, but it had to
bs left to their esprit tie corps. If a captain thoroughly understood his duty,
there was no necessity for the loss of
capitation, as be should remove the
names of those wh'j attended irregularly
to the detriment of the who'e troop.
However, in the light of recent
events, volunteering just now is a
vastly different thing to what it was
some little time ago, and he had no
hesitation in saying that the Government
would meet volunteers in every possible
way, although lie could promise noth'ng
definite. He was quite certain that had
ho been in charge of the old Waikato
troop he would have kept them together
somehow and would not have allowed
them to disband.

INDUSTRY.
MR SritAGG INTERVIEWED.
Last we k Mr Spragg, mainger of the
New Zealand Dairy Association, was in
Ohaupo, inspecting the creamery. He
was on his tour of inspection through the
distiiot and expressed himself as highly
pleased at the way the Ohaupo creamery
was kept, everything looking (dean and
tidy, although he came unexpectedly.
In the course of conversation he said
the company did not intend to carry
on operations after the end of this
mouth. They had received seveial applications from suppliers to creameries
asking them to receive milk during the
month of May, but as all could not continue In supply they could not keep the
factory g<ung for a few. There was one
exception.
He understood a verbal
agreement had been made with Messrs
Reynolds and Co. that if the suppliers
could continue the supply dming the
month of May, the milk would be received and the cream sent to the Pukckura factory, which would be kept going
all winter as usual. He wished it clearly
understood that any contracts entered
into with Messrs Reynolds and Co
either verbal or written, would be carried,
out to tho letter, evin though so doing
might result in losj to themselves.
Mr Spragg then courteously replied to
questions as follows: Will Hamilton
creamery be allowed to continue the
supply during May, as reported in the
papers ?
I can find no record of a promise to
that effect having been made with Mes.-rs
Reynolds and Co. We have a good
many alterations to make in several of
tho creameries, and therefore it wdll take
us all our time to have everything in
readiness for next season, but we should
be very pleased next season to arrange
with the suppl ers for a nine or ten
months' supply. Of course we must have
all or none. It would be no use for one
or two creameries to agree to supply for
a longer period than eight months and
the rest clcse down. However, that
matter rests with the suppliers themselves.
I understand you have decided to dismantle the Nfaraawahia Butter Factory
and carry on all your operations at the
I'ukekohc establishment.
We intend to keep the Ngaruawahia
works going next season the same as
heretofore. No one had authority to
make a statement to the contrary, and
as you are going to icport what I say,
you can state that the company have no
present intention ot closing the Ngaruawahia establishment.
Arc you phased with the dairying
prospects of the Waikato ?
The distiict is unquestionably a good
one, and ths people, as far as I have seen
them, are a good set. The present
season has had its drawbacks, and does
not promise too much of profit, but that
is an incident only, and I am looking
forward to reasonably good times. Yes ;
1 am pleased with the outlook.
Wid the- company erect creamerie3
(whore inducement offers) at their oan
expense. Or would they require the settlers to do 30, paying them reut as you
do here ?
Generally our plan will be to let districts which think they can support a
creamery, provide si;c and erect building. If the prospects appear satisfactory we shall help by supplying our own
plant. But we do not want to touch
places which cannot furnish a reasonable
supply of milk.
Have you any idea about what price
the company will pay tor milk next
season. As if we could have an assurance that it would be no lower than this
season's price it would have a very beneficial effect ?
I think the present season's prices will
he maintained. I cannot see any prospect of an advance, and I do not want to
even think of a ieduction. Yes
prices
will be practically tho same—that is,
will average 2Jd for the season. I .have
said wc hope to extend the season for a
month or two longer ; say to ten months,
certainly to nine.

UN WELCOME GUESTS.
Last night being the last opportunity
for the Minister of Lands performing as a
canvassing tout for Mr Charles Wilson,
he was billed for Karori, and found on
his arrival two of the 'most undesirable
individuals conceivable there—Mr John
Duthie and Mr T. J. Gale, who had been
freely nferrcd to by him in previous
speeches in anything but complementary
terms. They were out for a bit of fun
with Jcck and they got it. He had referred to the first on the prevbus night as
corrugated iron Duthie, and got off a
clumsy pun or two on the other's name,
and when the Minister started to say his
little piece, he addressed his remarks to
these two mercantile gentlemen and
ignored the electors altogether. They,
on their part, came in frequently with
interjections when the bnrly Minister
tripped in his statements which occurred
in nearly every sentence. An elector
then cross-examined him regarding the
Bushy Park affair and stuck to his point
ko persistently that the lion, gentleman
flatly refused to answer the question
whether a single sixpence bad been paid

down the house. Tlie audience saw by
the evasions of questions, the refus-.l to
answer the most crucial of them, and the
display of temper they provoked, that
the Minister of Lands had been all

deal. He finished up as he did at NewYon will get

burst out into another roar.
THE SUBURBS ELECTION.
This unequalfight came to a conclusion to-night, and the electioneering and
canvassing of three Ministers and four
other members, combined with the
wholesale stuffing of the roll with permanent artillery men, the torpedo corps
and others not qualified to be on it, resulted in another Government victory.
The figures are interesting when compared with the results of the general
election four months ago.

hibitionist tendencies, and when it is
considered that be fought all the strength
that the personal exertions of Ministers,
their influence and their utter disregard
of fair play, it must be conceeled that Mr
Atkinson fought his up-hill fight against
fearful odds to some purpose. True, be
is beaten, but there are some defeats
more
which are
honourable than
victories, ami this is one of them.
He is a young mm
with real
good grit in him, and more than
the average allowance of brains, and has
only to wait bis time, and when that
comes he will make his mark. As for
tlie new member he will play Pylades to
Mr Hogg's Orestes, anel both consorts of
Mr George Fisher. The scurrilous language he has used towards bis opponent
during the campaign would have n.ade
But
even Thersites feel uncomfortable.
there he is, another living proof that wo
have not yet reacheel the climax of the
Democracy, as it is called in the colonies.
It may not be a popular thing to say,
but the truth is our workers do not look
so deeply into the real meaning of things
as their British compeers do. A recent
observant visitor to the colonics, MrCooper, the well-known editor of the
Scotsman, pointcel this out in an article
in the Melbourne Argus recently. Ha
says : "In Great Britain 1am convince-*!)
that the gradual extension of the fmi&chise to wdiat is virtually manhoort suffrage has bad a distinctly Conservative
tenelcncy. The working elassss- have not
developed into Tories ia any party
sense, but they have became disf.inctly
anti-Socialistic anel auii-Radical. Messrs
Tillett, Mann and irJurns set themselves
some time ba:k to oiganisc unskilled
labour, a task akin to twisting ropes, of
the sea, sand, i'bey suceecdeel to the
extent of attaining for themselves positions in the orthoelox traelcs unionism,
which they quickly perverted to the ends
of State Socialism. But tlio more solid
majority of workers were at one disgusted and the movement went nei further. Under the present franchise in
Great Britain the working classes must
be in an enormous majority, yet repeated
successes are won by the Conservatives."
His observations regarding New Zealanel were anything but flattering, and
they cannot be denied.
"As tor NewZealand he wrote, "politically speaking, the impression 1 gained there was
of a colony which has not yet finished
sowing its wild outs. A prominent
Minister of the Crown has frankly aelmitteel that a great part of one session
was spent in passing imperative Acts
and a great part of the next in repealing
them."
The evils Mr Cooper saw were political, and not by any means the worst of
what we have to hear. Bad laws may
be .so adminis'.ercd that they may not do
much hurt while good laws may be
administered or ignored in such a way
that g'aring injustices are perpetrated
daily in tlie name of the Government.
Take our liquor laws as an instance.
Everybody nay not agree with them.
They are looked upon as bearing too
harshly on the liquor dealers by some,
while others would put an end to the
trade altogether. But such as they are,
they are openly violated every (lay in
the week, and the police, who are supposed to be a tenor to evil-doers, have a.
bliud eye to open breaches of the Act.

be trifling, for it was really of small
importance whether he starved to
death on Sunday or the following
Wednesday. He was in a mood to
make a jest of it all.
A strong glare from an electric
light struck down into the carriage,
aud made visible to him a package
in brown paper that looked as if it
might be a sandwich. The object
protruded from under the scat. He
thought it must be the cabman's
supper which had been hidden in
some small locker and had fallen
upon the floor. The idea that the
food should be spoiled was disagreeable to Herrick, and so he picked up
the little brown bundle.
It was smaller than ho had supposed, and it did not feel like bread.
But had it been food and he at the
last pancr of starvation, the touch of
it would not have sent such a thrill
through all his frame.

package was money, It felt like a

As to his own conduct in this
matter, Ilerrick had no doubt whatever. Fate bad thrown this money
into his hands, and fate might take
it away, if lie could not hold it
tightly enough. His lingers trembled
as he"picked at the clastic bands.
Suddenly, and without his knowing
why, the" rubber string vanished with
a loud snap that startled him, and
the package sprang open on his
knees. He caught a dash of green
colour, and then the cab rolled out of
light into shadow.
It seemed a long time before
another light struck in upon him.

As he spoke, Rubens walked toward a priest who was praying in
another chapel, and asked, with his
usual freedom of manner :
Will you be kind enough to tell
the padre prior that I wish to spsak
with him, by the King's orders ?'
The priest, who was an elderly
man, arose from his knees with difficulty, and answered, in a humble
and feeble voice:

' Pardon, father, for interrupting
your prayers,' replied Rubens.

one of the young men. ' This picture was painted by a dead man.'

conversation had been intently looking, now at the canvas, then at the
priest. 'Do you not think that

had spoken first.
\n tho meanwhile Rubens,
gloomy, ashamed, and profoundly
moved, saw the old man move
away. The prior, crossing his
arms on his breast, saluted him just
before he disappeared.
"It was lie! yes?' cried the artist.
' Oil ! let us go,' he added, turning
to his pupils.
This man is right !
His story is worth more than mine !
Let him die in peace !'
Throwing a last glance at the
canvas which had so moved him, he
left the church and went to the
palace, where their .Majesties
honoured him by an invitation to
dinner.
Three days later, Rubens returned, entirely alone, to that humble chapel, desirous of contemplating once more the marvellous painting, and even of speaking to its
presumed author ; but the picture
was not in its place.
Instead, he
found that there was a colliuon the
floor of the principal nave of the
church. It was surrounded by all
the brotherhood of monks, chanting the requiem for the dead. The
artist drew near to look at the face
of the old dead man, and saw that
it was the padre prior.
He wits a great painter,' said
Rubens, as soon as his surprise and
pain had given place to other sentiments. ' Now it is that he most
resembles his work.'-—(From the

THE GOVERNOR OF NEW ZEALAND.
Ix or about the year 1890, a visitor was
approaching Mildura, when, iu a lignum
swamp, lying between the track and a
pine ridge, a dray was seen and two
persons evidently connected therewith
wading waist deep through water and
mud, carrying posts on their shoulders
to sound ground. More closely approached, they had not just the cut of
bushmen. Their flannels had evidently
been white in the morning, though sadly
mud-bespattered now, and their faces
and bared arms, though finely bronzed,
had not the ingrained tint we see in
those who live their lives in the bush,
and endure all its hardships aud deficiencies. A bit of a shock came to the
visitor, however, when the local lad,
who was driving, pulled up and re=
marked,

on inanv farms, and a profil, however
small, derived whore at pies nt the expenses arc in excess of ths receipts. The
3ost of producing f" vra oropH includes all
tillage and harvesting opn'itions, seed,
manure, and other
expens s incurred
during the cleaning of tha land after a
previous crop until tho crop lias been
harvested, and either sold or consumed by
sheep or other stock in the field where

as implements
dim still too costly ; and
depreciate, more or les-, it is important
to keep them under a she 1 when no*; in
u-e, and to repair, oil, and paint machines
after harvest. There is no reason, however,
why horses should depreciita
annually, yet this is tho caso on many
farms throughout tie United Kingdom.
When a farmer only keeps brood mares to
supply tho neossary hor.-o-powu- for his
implements and midlines, he reduces the
cost of horse labour to a minimum, and
may even derivo a profit from his hois;
stock. Where only a few brood m ires
are kept and bred from, tho annual los<
due to depreciation may bo prevented ;
whereas, whtre only horses aro kept,
the loss thus occasioned is obvious.
Tho cost of plowing cm be considerably
reduced by adopting two-furrow gang
ploughs drawn by three brood marcs or
hoises, because about 2J acres can bo
ploughed in a day by this system when
the furrow slice is 12in. in width, whereas
only 1 acre could be ploughed in a day
wlnn the single-furrow plough turning
a furrow sice r>f 9in. is used, the soil
being simibr, f.nd not heavy, in both
cases. On heavy soils ploughing will
always bo more expensive than on lighter
descriptions of soils, b?causo more horse
power is necessary. Taking 2i and 1
acre as a good day's work on an average
free working loam by those systcnn, the
cost of ploughing can be easily calculated
when 2s. 6d. is taken as the stand «rd
daily wago for horse and manual labour,
at 6d. per day for wear and ten- per
furrow. When the ordinary syst;m is
adopted tha cot will bo Bs. per acre, and
when the two-furrow gang plough is
used, the cost of ploughing is reduced to
about 4s. Gd. per acre. A team of eighteen
horses will plough a given area in tho
same time as a team of thirty horsjs, when
the two-furrow gang and ordinary
ploughs are used respectively ; and six
men will bo required in the former and
fifteen men in tho latter system. Tho
former system would require six trains
of three horses and six gang plough--,
whereas tha latter system would require
fifteen two-horse team* and fifteon ploughs
to plough fifteen acres per day at the
abovo rate. This example, which can be
modified at pleasure to suit any particul .r
farm, clearly shows the saving in capitul

Crop production is not directly limited
by the actual amount of rainfall, but by
the amount of moisture present in the
soil. This amount is chiefly regulated
by subsoiling r.nd surface cultivation.
Deep ploughing is unnecessary for most
crops, except the potato, when a double
subsoil plough follows tho two-furrow
ganjr plough. The impioved spring
cultivator is now much used for spring
cultivation with excellent results on most
soils; and, as a larger area can be cultivated than by ploughing, ever when
multiple ploujhs are used, the cost of
spring cultivation can thus be reduced.
The cultivator cleans the lmd, and produces a tilth with great rapidity at a busy
season of the year, without inverting
the mellowed surface soil so necessary to
form a good seed bed.
Drilling is the only system of sowing
which enables the use of the horse 100,
and win n it is practised a great saving
of extra labour in cleaning the grain and
the land is eecasioned. The weeds arc
prevented from seedinir, and tho amount
of moistura in the soil regulated. Harvesting operations have been recently reduced in cost by the use of tho binder,
reaper, and other machines, and by the
system of threshing in the field from the
took. By attaching a Irn-ser or chaffcutter to the end of the machine tho straw
is prepared for sending to market or for
stock feeding at the minimum of trouble
and expense.
It is important to select good seed from
an earlier district, and to practise eirly
sowing in order to reap an earlier and
better harvest. Farmyard manure should
be kept under shelter and carted in the

Sheep should be folded over both arable
