fit. Another hon. member ejaculated
an expression which was in contravention of the rules of this House. If
the statement that was made was not
entirely correct that hon. gentleman
was perfectly entitled to object, but it
must be saidand done in a gentlemanly
manner, and in accordance with the
forms of this House.— (Hear, hear.)
I
must now call on the hon. gentleman
to express his regret for the statement
he has made.'
The Minister of Lands said that he
withdrew his remark.
* hope
Mr Mackenzie : I
the Minister
will accept my statement. Iunderstand he has been falsely reported, but
that does not alter the case that a majority of the Cabinet are in favor of the
Private Schools Bill.'
The Minister of Education : 'I
do
not think that that is the case.'
Mr Mackenzie would be glad to be
enlightened if he were wrong.
Hon. Mr Fergus was certain that
the Hon. Mr Seddon was in favor of
the bill.
The Minister of Education did not
know on what authority Mr Fergus
made such a statement.
Mr Mackenzie said he had to express
his regret if the Minister of Lands had
been misreported in the Otago Daily
Times.
The Minister of Lands : ' The Otago
Daily Times !' (' Oh,
oh !')
Mr Mackenzie :'I
quite accept the
hon. gentleman's denial, and I
am most
happy to accept it. In the Otago
Daily Times he is reported to have
said that he believed the Roman Catholics were entitled to receive aid for
their schools in the large centres.
'
Mr Scobie Mackenzie : Hear, hear.'
The Minister of Lands : 'Ido not
hold myself responsible for anything
that the Otago Daily Times says.
(Cries of 'Oh !')
Mr Mackenzie said that the Government had the power to give the Catholics that justice which on the hustings
the majority of them had promised,
and he challenged them to give' effect
to their pledges. They were five
members against two, and was the tail
going to wag the body I—(Laughter.)1 (Laughter.)
At this stage there was a personal
altercation between the Minister of
Lands and the member for Clutha as to
whether thi latter had kept his election
pledges. When Mr Mackenzie sat

At the late annual Birmingham
shorthorn show and sale, of 633 shorthorns brought forward 576 were sold,
realising an average of L3O Os 7d, the
highest price being L220. Only five
animals reached three figures, which
makes the general average all the more
notable. In no other sale of equal or
even half the same proportions has the
average in any other breed come up to
anything like the above figure.
Captain Ashby, writing lately with
regard to the sale of apples and butter
in England, says : 'Apples just now
are worth over 6d per lb wholesale.
The s.s. Orizaba had over 9000 cases
on board, and these were all sold
yesterday at Covent Garden from 25s
to 35s per case. A.t a shop near my

day is worth Is 3d per lb. Very

face, and those crusts and broken
pieces that you have left on the soil
act as a mulch, retaining the moisture
below for use of the feediug roots, as a
means for them to continue receiving
and conveying food for the plant.
Where you have pressed the ground
firmly into place with your foot the
capillarity is restored, and there you
see the soil dark with moisture, which
is being evaporated, just as on the unhoecl soil. Frequent stirring of the
surface is necessary because every fall
of rain compacts the surface again, and
we must again cut off the capillarity —
the means by which the soil water
passes up to be absorbed as vapour in
the hot air of the summer day. We
find hoeing in the early morning does
the most good, and has long been observed. It is because the heat of the
day is prevented from drinking so
largely of the ascending water laden
with plant food, whichif not prevented
by the mulch of loose dry surface, will
escape, leaving its solution of food behind it, wastefully drying on the surface until another rain comes to carry

breeds of cattle, especially the Galloways. The cross with the latter breed
is said to produce a fine hide, which
serves the purpose of a buffalo robe,
only it is of much finer quality. In
fact, the fineness of the material is said
to be excelled only by sealskin. Itis
reported that some such skins obtained
in Kansas have brought as high as L65

HARROWING WHEAT",
Following up what has been ex-
plained in our 1889 Longerenong report,, we undertook certain severe tests
during the past season in theharrowing
of a wheat crop at different stages of
growth. As our views on this practice
have already been made public, and
tho work of the previous year already
reported upon, J deem it best to
abstract the following on the whole
question :
1. Wheat is moreresponsive to good
treatment than oats or barley.
2. On light, rich clean soils, and
subject to weather cracking and surface
caking, cultivation is comparatively
valueless for wheat.
3. On heavy, rich, clay soils, where
the surface cakes, if it does not crack,
the. wheat crop is greatly benefited by
harrowing.
4. This harrowing is bast before the
plants attain 9'in in height, and is even
beneficial at earlier stages when the
—
soil is mellow and the weather not
warm.
5. Harrowing once does good even
when the crop stands about 18in,
especially if during a drought and
when the soil is hard, baked, and full
of deep cracks.
6. Two harrowings are injurious
when the plants are over 18in, but
decidedly good when not over 9in.
7. Early harrowing, whereand when
required, implies an increase of 10 per
cent, of grain.

medical faculty fails to account for the
outbreak, and is powerless to control
its spread. Doctors, nurses, and hospitals are doing everything possible for
sufferers, but are overwhelmed by the
multitude crying bitterly for relief.
A dispatch from one town states that
300 people died in one day. This was
about the daily average, and the streets
were crowded with vehicles carrying
the dead to their last resting place ;
and the sad vacancy of death depressed
every household. Such trying times as
these demand immediate attention.
The doctors fail, and the many advertised cough and cold cures are only
sedatives which interfere with the proper secretions of the respiratory tract.
Recourse must be made to a genuine
stimulating restorative, which whilst
curing his grip, will also strengthen
and support the patient, and no article
the world has so far seen can compare
to Clements' Tonic for these effects.
During the great outbreak of influenza
in Sydney in 1890, over 50,000 bottles
of Clements' Tonic were consumed, and
its praises weie sung in every quarter
as the disease was completely starappd
out by the use of this remedy in four
weeks. Such facts as this prove beyond the doubt of the most unbelieving
sceptic, the valueof Clements' Tonic for
such diseases. Mrs. M. Kellett, Parramafcta, N.S.W., writes :— < Sir,— Four
years ago I
caught a severe cold which
settled in my heed and chest, and
caused an incessant cough and copious
discharge of phlegm ; this brought on
great weakness and debility. After
considerable attention and doctors'
treatment, the cough was relieved and
finally cured, but the debility remained
and seemed to defy the skill of the medical men and the power of medicine.
Ihad no appetite, and could scarcely
eat a particle of food, and was almost
reduced to a skeleton, having entirely
wasted away. I
had taken pints of codliver oil, malt extracts, and other medicine without relief, when I
was recommended to take Clements' Tonic. I
procured a bottle, and am thankful to
say that I
immediately began to improve ; I
could eat better, and relish
and digest what Idid eat. I
gained
flesh every day, and my strength
rapidly returned, and after six week's
treatment with Clements' Tonic, I
felt
a new woman altogether. Itook
Clements' Tonic six months ago, and
have never had any sickness since, and
am only too glad to add my name to
your list of grateful sufferers.' Remember you must get the genuine
'Clements' Tonic,' sold by chemists,
grocers, and storekeepers everywhere.

esteem for, may have partly been a
cause of his disorderly life. The Prince
of Wales is much more favorably
married, and doubtless the Princess of
Wales, whois generally acknowledged
to be a most aimable and pleasing
woman, and is a great public favorite,
has had a beneficial influence on the
Prince. Apprehension concerning the
Prince was,however, much allayed by
his subsequent conduct, and he rose
considerably in public favor. No
scandal attached to him. He appeared
to be a good husband and father, and
he took a prominent part in several
public movements, making occasionally
very passable speeches. He, moreover,
seeing to have been of a genial disposition,gracious and affable, It is certainly
very unfortunate that in his maturo
age he should for some misconduct
have become the object of general
public blame, being censured by tho
entire press of the Unitpd Kingdom,
and ovenby Continental prints. What
precisely the Prince has done to raise
this storm of censure, Ido not exactly
comprehend. Idon't know whether
any one else does in these parts, till
we have fuller intelligence. He is not
accused of cheating at cards. He
seems, however, to have gambled, playing at baccarat,— which is, Isuppose,
a very gambling game, in which it is
all chance or luck, and no skill. I
don't suppose mere card playing, and
even the loss of a considerable sum of
money, would have been such an
offence as to bring the Prince into
great disrepute, though we now live in
a more decorous and virtuous age than
tracing of block in. The grades of the
chain-wide road are shown in red figures
to be very steep, and, seeing that the
dotted track runs straighter up the hill,
it is much steeper, and only intended as a
temporary makeshift. Mr Allan should
be called upon to put the track into as
passable n state as what it was before, he
interfered with it, by fencing and felling
trees across it. Should Mv Allen, when
fencing his land into paddocks, ask the
permission of the council to erect gates on
