LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A feeling tribute to tlie services rendered to the AVelliugton Provincial Farmers' Union by the retiring president (Mr J.(i. Wilson) was paid by Mr T. Moss, the pre-sident-elect, at the Wanganui conference last evening. They would all miss Mr Wilson very much, said Mr Moss, for he had for many years been the friend, counsellor and guide of the union. He moved: "That this conference records its best appreciation and recognition of the long and valuable services, rendered the Farmers' Union, and this provincial district in particular, by Mr "Wilson, as president for so many years. " Mr H. J. Richards, of Levin, in seconding the motion, stated that only a few of the older members realised how multitudinous were the duties that Mr Wilson had so ably carried out. The motion was carried amid warm applause.—Evening Post. Why endure cold feet these frosty nightß. A 'Bungalow" stone foot warmer will last a lifetime, and costs only 4a 6d.

In accordance with a Levin remit, adapted by the Provincial I'armors t Conference at Wanganui, tho Ciovcrnment is to be asked to lessen the quarantine expenses and .1 t'six'iclions on the importation oi' piys from Australia. The Evening Post reports that Mr H. J. Richards, who brought the remit forward, explained that at present an imported Australian pig was quarantined for sixty-one days, and tho charge was Is per day, and a sriiall steamer had to be hired to convey the porker to Somes Island. "In view of the fact that there is 110 swine fever here," said Mr Richards, "the restriction seems unnecessary." The remit went through without protest.
