it was announced that, a con-' f.siderablo.- improvement had been effected :'in; the marketable quality. oi. the' hemp,' hy' reason of the tails of ihe lianks being' ■dipped off in tlw bleaehilifr-fic-.lds '■ by ■means of a lawn-trimmer. This necessarV.- : work lias been further improvod by the ,useo? a mnchinc, working aatomatieally,' which . takes off the tails,' immediately nfter tho washinff'procoss, as ths bourn in suspendefl from tho convojing-ehain. This improvement means a further reduction in thfi co?t of production, while a considerable improvement in the marketing quality of tho_ lic-mp is c-ffected, Messrs. Suttio and Wyuyard have beenfurther experimenting with the object of n.-ipiovinp their automatic scutcher and ,iyasher. The new idea is to provide a': ...third. drum, 'which will treat the butt' of fhe hank while the other two drums ...tical .the tail. This improvement is uracil-no»lcd. It should mar;'! tho'autov .malic' scutcher a really effective appara- ; .lib, making for both improvement and eoqnomy in production. Several mills are cloning for the win-'-''l In some eases - this is necessary, owinrt to the effect of coliE; weather nn tho leaf. Several mills, h-v.v-.' tiver, will liaVe no off soason.

■ .Tt i« satisfactory to know that eoni sioeraWe cars is being exercised in th». management of tlio swamns. Tha drn.ii-.q c.re being kept clean',, and the rubbish is belli" (Ts-übbed up. This menu? that the: (lax will have n enc<l mwortunity to•' vclop well, and that the loaf available, in subsequent seasons will be of gordi milling quality. . •••**

Stripper slips are -rowing forward in' very much' betters condition.
