Some time ago the attention of the Admiralty was drawn to the use of unofficial badges, crests, and ooats-of-arms by ships of the Navy. This practice dates from the middle of the Nineteenth Century. The badges are produced privately by the commanding officers, "and are used on ships' boats and for headings on notepaper. No record has hitherto been kept of them, and a ship has often changed its badge on recommissioning. The Admiralty have decided to establish a definite design for each ship,' in order that the tradition may bo carried on and become part of the history of the ship. Where possible they illustrate tho name of tho ship. Portraits of individuals havo been ruled out, as the design will be cast in brass and displayed on some prominent portion of the ship,, and the wear and tear and successive repaintings would soon cause a portrait to degenerate into a caricature. Tho badges will be cast in three sizes, two smaller ones for use on boats, and a larger one for tho quarter-deck. A circle badge will be used for battleships, a pentagon for light cruisers, and a square, set diamondwise, for tho auxiliaries. All will be surmounted bv the Naval Crown.

THE TRUE VALUE OP CEREMILK. Can best be judged by results obtained : 1 V experienced farmers. Testimonials from ail part 3of Xew Zealand and Australia, and sales that ore steadily increasing prove conclusively tho valu-3 of CeremilJc. Once a farmer has tried it tor rearing calves, he becomes a staunch supporter. Ther« is no better food for laying the foundation of vigorous, healthy, valuable 6took. Calves thrive on Ceremiik because it is to rich in food values and is so easily assimilated arid digested. Every dairy farmer who wants to inako an eeae-t of his calves should 1.6& Ceremilk, and avoid cbeapor substitutes, which invariably prove more costly in the !ong run. Ceremiik is ma<le by Fleming Co., Ltd., Gore, and is sold by all Stores. Local distributors, Fleming and Co., Ltd., Box 89, Christchurch. 44 DO NOT MISS MINSONS.
