THE EENCING ACT

ERECTION OE EENOES

A fence of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7). ' j The occupiers of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence tween such lands, although such fence may not extend along the whole boundary line. But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which it> not, &0 far as practicable, continuous throughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox quite; , Eor in driving your carriage along, | 11 you bear to the loft you are jure j to go right, |; If you turn to the right you go wrong. ! But in walking the 6treeta 'tis a dif- >, ferent ca.se; i : To the right it is right wou should steer, jj On the left should be loft enough of j clear space i Eor the people who wish to walk there.

Bank notes are now legal tender in New Zealand and arc still a first charge on the assets of the bank of iwiiie ("Bank Note Issue Act } 1893 sec. 3).

An important element of success ii strikikug cose cuttnigs in summer is keeping them perfectly fresh -i.o , they must bo just as fresh when placed in the soil as when out from the trues; hi fact, tho work can not be done too quickly. Jf once the cuttings shrivel - and ihey ehrivol rapidly- few will grow; but if quite fresh, well selected, and rightly inserted, ioiv will fail. This esential of perfect rreshne.ss caibe maintained when tho number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Aiiln mu begins on March 21st; Winter 011 June 21st (tho shortest day); Spring commences on September 23rd; Summer on December 22nd (the longest day).
