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 office to-day Isaw apples marked at Is saw several cases opened per IV). I yesterday, and all looked in splendid — condition. From all I learn, fortune is once again beginning to smile on New Zealand, just what X anticipated in my book. New Zealand butter to day is worth Is 3d per lb. Very large wholesale butter and cheese merchants told me these high prices will quite turn the heads of the farmers. We have had a long trying and dreadful winter, but the last few days the sun has shined on us. We have seem little of it since the Ist November.' According to our contemporary, the Fanners'" Review, of Chicago, a buffalo ranch is to be established in California, where, in addition to raising purebred animals, a 0 — 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 few of the buffaloes are to them back to whore it is possible for the roots to get them. be crossed with some of the established 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 per robe. Skins of purebred Galloways were exhibited near the stalls of Galloway ' at several of the lead ' cattle ing fairs or live stock shows in the United States last season, and were greatl}' admired.

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. —— sion that after the summer crops are 'THE INFLUENZA EPIDEMIC.' cleared it is not necessary to do any«.

Why then do we hoe, or how does hoeing greatly promote growth of plants 1 One evident reason is to sup^ press all weed growth- but it is found highly useful where there are no weeds at all living, and the reason of this other mysterious 'line of good service is thatit secures more constant and better supply of the moisture indispensable to the feeding roots— -the most active and healthful of which are near the surfac , where the mo?t and the 'best cooked ' food for the plants is naturally ' to be found. We say ♥ naturally because nature always places and keeps it there, while man too often displaces it, and even buries it out of reach of the warmth — needed fitly to prepare it. By hoeing stirring the surface you cut off the fine capillary channels by which the moisture rises to the extreme sur- 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.

The Chairman pointed out that the proposal to close any road, and also tho meeting of ratepayers to decide on the matter, was always advertised as required by law, so that mortgagees, as well as others, might have an opportunity of attending to their interests. The secretary to the Charitable Aid Board forwarded a list of persons residing within the county who are in receipt of relief from the Benevolent Institution, and asking tho council to — report on the matter. The list was considered ; recommendations to be forwarded as asked.

ROADS AND WORKS. The engineer's follows :— report was read as 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 this dotted track, [ think in tho circumstances the council woulddo well to grant — the request.

Mr Christie called attention to the matter of a contract undertaken by a Mr Pullen, where the wall of a bridge in course of construction had fallen the responsibility of the council for compensation for injuries or damages received through holes or other defects in roads, culverts, and bridges, as shown by a recent action against the Wallace County Council, in which heavy damages were awarded. He contended it was impossible for surfacemen to keep their eye upon every bridge and mile of road so as to detect every little defect. There were many roads under which the rabbits made holes and a horse's foot was liable to go through, Such holes could not be detected, and yet apparently in the case of an accident the council would 25th June, 1891.
