BUSH SICKNESS.

EXPERIMENTS PROGRESSING SATISFACTORILY. It is understood that very encouraging results arc being obtained from the practical experiments which are being carried out by tho Agricultural Department in reference to the suppression of bush sickness. Experimental animals on specially top-dressod areas havo remained perfectly healthy and havo grown and developed well, whilst central animals havo developed tho disease and died. These results have given the Departmental officers much valuable information and, we understand, it is now intended to commence a further series of experiments, from which tho best results oro hoped for, seeing that bo great an advance in the.etudy of tho disease has already been attained. Tho eucccss of a Dairy Factory is not attained by mere luck—it is tho result of tho manager's sound 6ense and good equipment. "Victor" Vats havo played a large part in profit-building in factories, and one manager says a "Victor" is the best Vat ho has used in twelve years' oxperience. Write for particulars. Albert J.
