Mr J. E. Fawcett presided .over a meutiuk on April 18 of tho International Committee 'dealing with the subject of vegetable matter in wool, says the correspondent' of the "Press/. In audition to i-luronean representatives here were Mr. Acton Adauw, ( Zealand! anil Mr. ll.'tic Little (Oeeiong . -A long discussion took, place on the relative merits of pucks made from paper —in which great progress is being mailt and the improved jute packs. -.The colonial representatives pointed out very stronglv that it was scarcely possible tt>-make any' satisfactory progress among tho growers unless the buyers would share -ill the estra cost-of the pack. Ihey took the view that this matter .would be settied once and for all if the' trade would, submit to a charge for the wool packs, especially as the buyer had the option of regulating-the price of the raw material. . . .It was - decided to accept the suggestion of the French Skinners'-Association -to •hold another -International Conference for a further discussion of these matters, and the first Saturday ill .Inly was suggested as a'likely "date, the'conference to be held ill London, and all sections of the trade "to be invited. It was also decided, following the interest that is being taken 111 the question bv the makers of wool packs, fo aslt the.makers.to send specimens of packs to be' exhibited in London during the carlv days-of'the next wool sales, representing the "latest improvements and the lowest prices- at which packs can be sold. It is intended that the exhibition should 'take place in one of the wool warehouses during the Julv series in order to get tho opinion, of .buyers and consumers. Pome large snecimen posters were shown. Vhicli hatl been prepared by Mr. Fawcctt, .Atr. Albert Illingworth, and other Bradford men, showing patterns of the'cloth .and fibre, and the damage done bv tho presence of vegetable matter ip raw wcol. It is intended to have these ••large posters placed on strong cardboard and sent'out to the various wool-growing Centres.

There is absolutely no reason why dairy, farming'sllonld be one long grind in these days of labour and time-saving machinery. Take the Milkin? Machine, for'instance—a good plant does the work of two or three men at less cost, and in shprter time if driven bv a. suitable engine. When ordering a milking machine, or other plant ,:for the farm, see that you specify an " Anderson" Oil Engine. These splendid New Zealand-made engines are very simple, and give a maximum amount of power on a minimum consumption of fuel. They.are easv to start, and run- steadily with little attention, till stopped. Engines suited .for every class of work supplied by the maim-jfaclm'ei-s.
