A long-haired cattle dog lias been lost in Levin by Mr .J. Crowe, ol Kimborley road. A rowftrd is offered for the return of the dog. At the annual -mooting of the Levin-Wanderer Football Club hold on Saturday at the Levin Hotel a ■letter was received from the .M. (J.A. asking whether the club would join with them in the formation of a gymnasium. The letter was formally received. The name of Mr K. Glaokin, as timekeeper, was omitted from the report in connection, in last Wednesday's road cycle race. Mr Muisgrove was presented on Friday evening with the .silver watch kindly donated by Mr Glackin for fastest time. To-night at .tilre Salvation Army Hall, the public will be treated to a fine programme by the boys from Training Farm, and the choir from the Presbyterian Church. To-mor-row night a variety programme will be given. At tlh'e conclusion -Mr T. A. J}. Hudson will sell the fine collection of produce, fruit, poultry, etc. At the Salvation Army Hall yesterday special Harvest Thanksgiving services were conducted by StaffCaptain and Mrs Newbold, of Wellington. The building was beautifully decorated for the occasion, and gave a very pleasing effect. The very great interest taken in the proceedings was evidenced by the fine crowds that attended, the services all day. The band and singing company rendered special service in t'heir playing and singing. Staff-Caj>tain Xewbo'ld's subject at night was "Sowing and Heaping." The following incident happened at a picture f>lmw the other night (says the. Elthain Argus). The blackbrowed Anarchists wore at their deadly work, and lvad placed a death-dealing bomb on the top of the door in sudh a manner that it would fall and explode if the. door was moved. An innocent little appeared and' was just in the- act of opening the door when an. agonised', cry of "Come away you little fool!" came from a proniinet man in the ■audience. The appeal apparently reached the youngster, wto turned round, smiled 1 , and walked off. The. value of maize-growing for the dairy herdj about which: so mircli has been said and written, is a debatable point among farmers (says a writer in the Hawera Star.) Some praise it up, and l otih'ers say it does not repay them for the extra work it entails. Of course, different farmers have different methods of feeding it out. One will give the cows as much as tliey can eat, while the otlh'er will only -give them half a feed. In the latter lease the cows will hang about the gaite all day waiting for more, and the result is 'obvious. A local farmer, while not decrying maize-growing, expresses the opinion that bv dividing the farm into as many paddocks as possible audi giving tlh'e cows iplenty of changes, the results will he found to equal, if not exceed, th'ose obtained, by feed 1 - ing maize. There is one .point upon which all are agreed, .and that is that feeding maize is a most tedious andl irksome . undertaking.
