A £20 rote to words the cost of printing the report of the conferonce of the Natinnnl Dairy Association (Palmorston North) is oji this year's Government Estimates. .If possible, the- li is'h'on oi' Wellington, after tlio service- .at St. John's, Ohau on Sunday afternoon, will yivo a- short address to the Church of England boys at the Training l'arin. .i team of representative junior footballers is to be sent to L-evin next Saturday by the "Wellington iiiigbv Union. The "Waikanai; centenarian (Mr Henry .Hurling) is in a precarious t'tate of he-alt!i. His right side i-s paralysed, and he has lost the power. of speech. A bathroom is to be erected at Kopivtaroa jjublic school, and additions are- to be ni:vclc to the res idem cc at Otaki public school. The Wellington iCd'iieation Board is inviting tend.crs for carrying out the work. Mr Field, M.P., lias been inio.rme<l that the erection of a Dominion Museum has been delayed owing to the construction of other public buildings which wow more urgently required, but it is expected the work will hs undertaken at an early date. Tut following members of the Le-vin-Wanderers Club will go to Bulls to play the local club to-morrow:— Wini ata, (0), Stuckey, Heta. Hitohimgs Hopa, Close, Lower, Sc.ia.seia, Joe. Saxon. Mcllugh. The team has received an invitation to attend •a social which is to take place tomorrow evening. The Rev. D. C. Dates telegraphed last evening as follows : —Present indications are for cloi.dy and unsettled weather, with rain in nilost parts of the country with .viiuls variable .and squally at times, but moderate to strong westerly winds prevailing southward of Kawhiu and Xapier, and southerly breezes elsewhere. The barometer will probably rise temperarily in tlio Switih. but fall uiniii. Westerly disturb■n nc.es are due towards th-e end of tlio week. A plain, ■.suita'.'le building for an auctioneer's hu-i'ie-s is -ilinwi in the plans prepared for Mr ..I- U. Siausell, senior's iiiew 'ofik-os at Levin. The I'ront elerali-jn shows a line auction mart on the left, having a floor space 1 Oft. x 10ft.. and on the right are the office.?, v.hioh are to be fitted up on up-tn-'-ato lir-s. A verandah will ru.n a.'iong th-e whole front. The parapet will bo squ-are. and tbe buildincr will be de--i'.';ned witb n view t<i effective wall adrei ti-i)!>>". ".I am a great advocate i'or the use of salt when storing ihay for winter use," explained a Hiwin-iii farmer to a Standard reporter. "I don't stack my hay, but store it in a shed, and with each load I distribute some ten or fifteen pounds of coarse salt, anil it would .astonish .you to see lunv the cows, rolisb it. TJioy don't leave a blade of the bay behind My cows also have access to rock salt in t'veir paddocks, and I, can testify to iis value ar- , . regards their heaith and condition. Perhaps yon may have r-een cows (-hewing bones. Well, I believe that i.s to get something similar to .sa.lt that the animals crave for. I ha/re bad to make some of my cows drop a bone they ih<:ive been chewing for an hour or so. and which they would, swallow if they could. T mn-ko it a rule never to. leave any bones lying about where the cows can get them." Modified surprise has been caused in sliootin.g circles by the receipt by' tlio secretory of the. Wellington Suburbs Defence Club of a letter from the proprietary of the Daily Mail in regard in the allocation of the t-up won by the Suburbs team on Empire Dav. The writer says that the Daily Mail people have received '''one or two" important communications in reo;nrd to ttlie matter, and before finally forwarding the cup we are reviving tr, tV.? individuals who have written to us." The surmise is that it hns been represented to the Mail proprietary that the Pollull Gully ranrrc is an unfn.ii , one. On a windy dav it is full _ -of fishtails. On a. fine day it is a protected shooting gallorv..- It was .an absolutely fine still dav wifoon the' Suburbs team put up its wonderful: record score and won the cup. "So for as T.am nee rued." says Mr FeUinelinm. the secretary of the Suburb-- t n wi. "If th-ore is aoiiiK to be .nnv liuiubug about this husinrr-K the Daily M'ail can keep the enp.' Some of Levin's footpaths are good corn producers. if" your feet are so afflicted the only remedy is the " Indian Corn Cure," obtainable from C. S. KeedweJP.s Pharmacy in Is bottles. —Advt.
