Already the Minister of Libor has received numerous applications for work upon the State farm near Fieldinir. In every instance acprding to the " Post " tlie applicant desires- to be manager. On the motion of Mr E. G. Wright, the Lyttelton Harbour Boaad has been requested to report upou the best means for disposing of ship?' ballast in order to prevent the introduction of obnoxious weeda and reptiles. Lord and Lady Hopetoun, Lord Northesk and party arrived at Longbeaoh on Thursday evening. It is a pity they did not arrive a week earlier, but even now Mr Grigg will be able to show his guests a harvest scene suJf a-3 they never saw before. A further issue of leaflets to farmers is now being madefy the Department of Agriculture, namely, one each on the "athurst burr, horse bot fly, California thistle, and sheep botfly. The pamphlet, by Mr John Sawers, chief dairy instructor, on cheese and butter factories and creameries, is now passing through the press. Following upon last week's contest at polo the Ashburton team challenged the Tinwald to a return match which came off on Wednesday afternoon, when a very interesting game was played. The Tinwald players again proved too much for their opponents, gaining four goals to one by their careful backing up poiicy. For the winners three goals weie obtained by Mr Buckley and the other by Mr Curtis, whilst the Ashburton score was made by Mr E. Saunders, who played with his usual skill. The Premier has abandoned regular treatment, and has placed himself in the hands of Mr Herden, who has had some success in Wellington with a combined system of ma&sage and magnetism. Though a fortnight has not elapsed since he took Mr Ballance in hand, he has succeeded in procuring him regular sleep, and enabled him to take light food, whibh he was unable to do before. Mr Herden has accompanied the Premier to Wanganui, as .uninterrupted manipulation is essential to his further success. Mr Ballince's friends have good hopes that the novel regime will result in his complete restoration. It ia worthy of note (says the Wellington " Press') that, of the Jmany working men who have lately come to the colony, comparatively few have applied to the Labour .Bureau, except v to the extent of asking for information as to the districts likeliest to yield employment. Indeed, the bureau knows, from information gathered by its agents on the arrival of the various steamers, that about eleven of every twenty of the:<e men have a little money of their own, and aic quite able to shift for themselves, all the help they require being advice as to where they are most likely to abtain work It is not often (says the " Waikato Times ") that harvesting work i 3 carried out,, in Waikato on a Sunday, but last Sunday the reaping machine was going ahead in a field of" pals at \the Beerescourt Estate near Hamilton. The caterpillars hail got into the' crop, and throughout Sunday were crossing the road from the ti-trfo opposite in countless numbers, so th it it was absolutely imperative to get the oats oxit as soon as possible to save a total loss, On Monday morning the grubs were bard «t work round the edges, but had not got far into the crop.
