Tho subdivision of large runs, and scientific fanning, with; an intelligent use of fertilisers, changed the Waikato from a land of want to a place of plenty, said the Hon. D. H. authrie. Minister of Lands, whon speaking of' the progress of that district. In the Waikato, people with an accurate knowledge of history will a grateful blessing rather than tho common curse on.the memories of squatte'rs. Long years ago men with large ideas of prosperity, long, banking accounts, and a 'shortage of experience, went into the Waikato.. They took up lnrge blocks on easy terms, but they learned painfully that it was one thing lo buy an estate Cheaply and another thing- to run it successfully. They imported the best of dairying stock, ana altogether they worked hard in the wilds —aud the result was. the foundation of prosperity for others. Tlie original pioneers spent large sums, counted as lost so far as they wore concerned, but tho "spade-work" of thoso stout-hearted "squatters" prepared the way for profitable settlement by a later generation. An instance of unconscious humour on the part of a little girl occurred recently. It was in a big establishment, where a nuTsery is provided so that mothers while doing thoir shopping may leave the babies in care of a nurse. In this room Is a. scale for the purpose of weighing the. babies, and it was, this caught the eye of tho little girl. She watched with interest a new baby being weighed in the scale, and then, sidling up to the nurse, asked shyly, "How much a ponud, please." The nurse, quite equal to the occasion, replied, "This Is the last one, dear, and it has already been sold." AN ECONOMICAL CALF FOOIX Price is surely not the most important factor in a calf food—quality and results are the first essentials. By saving a few pence in the price per bag, the farmer may easilv lose pounds in the figure his calves will bring at market. "CEREMI LR" may cost a little moro than other brands, but- its satisfactory results make it the most economical calf food on the market. Mrs. W. Bruce, of Moinona, writes: "I'havo used 'CBBEMILK' now .for two years and find it very economical. The calves like and relish it and certainly thrive on it. I find the food very easy to prepare, and as long as I rear calves, I shall use 'CEREMILK.' " Try "CEREMILK"—equaI to whole milk in"nutriment. At all stores and factories.
