THE COMING MACHINE

There is no necessity to wait for tho coming Milking Machine. The “L.K.G.” cam© five years ago, and is still here. There is no difficulty about securing a coming machine, as there ahva'ys has been, and always will be, hundreds of machines which are just at the stage of either coming or going. The trouble is to get them to remain. In this respect the “L.K.G.” stands alone—as the first and only Milking Machine which has yet demonstrated beyond doubt that it is a permanent success. "Why experiment when you can get the proved and firmly established “L.K.G.’’machine? —MacEwans, Ltd., Sole Agents, For* Street, Auckland.

A story of tho finding of hidden money through a dream comes from "Holyhond. An old man, who h'l worked upon a farm for some yea ~ in the vicinity of the town, died, 11 nil though it was known that ho seldom spent any money, none could he found after his death. A week or two alter, one of his sons, living in Baker-street, Holyhead, approached a local public official, and said that ho had dreamed of finding money hidden bv his father in a hole in tho wall of a cowhouse at the farm whore his father had worked. In order to satisfy tho man, but without believing tlio story to bo of any value, the ollickil accompanied him to the farm, and on arriving there the mail went straight to a hole, such as he said ho had dreamed of, and drew out a stocking, which was found to contain £7 17s 6d. The story is confirmed by tho officer who witnessed the find. The United States Consul at Magdeburg has sent information to Washington concerning a new German composition to ta'ke tho place of cedar in tho manufacture of lend pencils. Ho says that some time ago a small company wits formed to perfect and exploit an invention which, instead of making use of expensive cedar wood substitutes a substance, the main ingredient of which is potatoes. Pencils are being manufactured in large quantities preparatory to being placed on the market. Those pencils which, while slightly heavier, are tho same in size, form and appearance to those at present in use, can ho produced at a very nominal cost. Too cost of manufacture is very low, and according to recent statistics the export from Germany to foreign countries equalled 15,166 toils, with tho total number of pencils at 3,033,200,000. Tho cedar used at present in the .manufacture of lead pencils is expensive, and the quantity limited.
