THE FJSNCING ACT

EIiJfiOTION OF FENCES

A'fence of any of the kinds mentioned iu the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of the Fencing Act (5.7).

The occupiers of adjoining lands not divided by a sufficient ienco are liable to join iu or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence uetwoen sueli lands, although such fenco 'may not extend along tho whole boundary line. But no occupier is liabio to contribute to any fence which ie not, as far ae praoticabl©,' continuous throughout its length. THE RULES OF THE ROAD. The Rule of the Road is a paradox yuite; For in driving your carriago along, If you bear to the left you are duro to go right, If you turn to the right you go wrong. Bub in walking the 6treoto 'tis a different case; To tho right it is right wou should steer, On the left should bo left euoujjii of clear space For fhe people who wish to walk there.. LEGAL TENDER.

Tender of inonew may legally bo made—in tlie cas eot' bronze coins, for any amount not exceeding Is; in the caso of silver coins, not exceeding 10s; in tli ecaso of gold coins for any amount, unless coined prior to v llie reign of Queen Victoria (33' and !M Vic. c. 10, sec. 4, and Royal Proclamation 22, Nov., 18D0), Bank notes are now legal tender in New Zealand and are tstill a first charge on the assets ol the bank of iwsue ("Bank Note Issue- Act, 1893 " sec. 'A). STRIKING KOSIC -CUTTINGS. An important dement of'success ii striliikng rose cuttnigs in slimmer i.s keeping them perfectly fresh—i. '3, they must bo just jis fresh when placed in tlie soil as when cut from the trees; ni lact, thu work can not bo done too quickly. Jf unce the cuttings shrivel — and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but if quite fresh, well selected, ami rightly inserted, lew will fail. This csi.'iitial of perfect freshness '_ar 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). I'Yom observations, extend ing over ;i number of years, it appears that, on the average, the hottest period is from the 21st to the Joth of January, and the coldest, from Mig 20th to the 21th uf July. These ,njriiyds, therefore, are the natural ■iiidsuminer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CA'JTLK. EKJ.
