j f | FUll READY REFERENCE. ; THE FJSNCLNG ACT. j 1 ERECTION OF FENCES. i A ience of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sui- J iicient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7). The occupiers of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient ience are liable I lu join in or contribute' in equal proportions to the erection of a fence between such lands, although such fence may not extend along the wllo'lo boundary line. But no occupier is liable I Lo contribute to any fence which is i not, as far as practicable, continuous ! throughout ite length. jj THE RULES OF THE ROAD. '. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; For in driving your carriage along, 11 you bear to the left you are sure to go right, ; If you turn to the right you go wrong. I But in walking the streets 'tis a different c.'ise; To the right it is right wou should steer, On the left should bo left enough of i clear space > For the people who wish to walk !, there. [ LEGAL TENDER. ! Tender of inonew may legally be made—in the cas eof bronze coins, for any amount not exceeding Is; in the case of silver coins, not exceeding 40s; in th ecase of gold coins for any amount, unless coined prior to the reign of Queen Victoria (33" and , 34 Vic. c. 10, sec. 4, and Royal Proclamation 22, "Nov., 1890). Bank notes are not legal tender in New Zealand, although made a first charge on the assets of the bank of issue ("Bank Note Issue Act, 1893," sec. 3). STRIKING ROSE CUTTINGS. An important element of success in strikikng rose cuttnigs in summer is keeping them perfectly fresh—i.e , they must be just as fresh when placed in the soil as when cut from the trees; in fact, the work can not be done too quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel —and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but If quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, tew will fail. This esential of perfect freshness can be maintained when the number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on March 21st; Winter on June 21st (the shortest day); Spring commences on September 23rd : Summer on December 22nd (the longest day). From observations, extending over a number of years, it appears that, on the average. the hottest period is from the 2lst to the 25th of January, and the coldest from the 20th to the 24th of July. These periods, therefore, are the natural midsummer ancl midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. All trespassing cattle may be impounded by the occupier of the land on which they are trespassing; uut in tho case of untenced land, the occupier is not entitled to claim any damages except tees tor driving, or lor giving notice of the detention of such cattle, as provided in the Second Schedule. It the land is fenced, the occupier may claim the trespass rates provided n: the Second Schedule, or he may ciaim and sue for the amount of actual damage sustained. —- TWELVE O'CLOCK AT NOON N Z.
