| l<'OH READY REFER IiNCE. | THE FENCING ACT. j ERECTION OF FENCES. A fence of any of the kinds mentioned in the Second Schedule is a sufficient fence within the meaning of tht Fencing Act (5.7). J The occupiers of adjoining lands noi divided by a sufficient fence are liable to join in or contribute in equal proportions to the erection of a fence between such lands, although such fence may not extend along the whole boundary line. But no occupier is liable to contribute to any fence which iis not, as far as practicable, continuous throughout its length. j THE RULES OF THE ROAD. ; The Rule of-the Road is a puradox \ quite; ! For iu driving your carriage along, If you bear to the left you are jure to go right, If you turu to the right you go wrung. k But in walking the streets 'tis a different ensej I To the right it is right wou should ' steer, Ou the left should bo loft enough of clear spaco For tho people who wish 10 walk there. LEGAL TENDER. Tender of monow may legally bo made —iu the cas eof bronze coins, for any amount not exceeding Is; in the case of silver coins, not exceeding 10s; in tli ocaso 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 now legal tender in New Zealand and are still a first charge on the assets of the hank of ' issue ("Bank Note Issue Act, 1893 ' sec. 3). STRIKING HOSE CUTTINGS. An important element of success it strikikng rose cuttnigs in summer fa keeping them perfectly fresh -i-e , they must be just as fresh when placed in tho soil as when cut from the trees; mi fact, the work can not bo done too quickly. If once the cuttings shrivel — and they shrivel rapidly—few will grow; but ff quite fresh, well selector], and rightly inserted, tew will fail. This esential of perfect freshness vatbe maintained when tho number of cuttings is limited. THE SEASONS. Autumn begins on "March 21st; Winter on June 21st (tho shortest flay); Spring commences on September '23rd; Summer on December "i'ind (the longest day)- From observations, extend ing over a number of years, it appears that, on the average. the hottest period i.s Ironi the 21st to the 2oth of January, ;md the coldest from 'he 20th to the 2 1 tli of .July. These ,vr iods. therefore, are the natural Midsummer and midwinter. IMPOUNDING CATTLE, ETC. All trespassing cattle may he hn pounded by the occupier of the land on which they are trespassing; bill m tho case of unfenced land, the occupier is n»t entitled to claim any damages except fees for .driving, or for giving notice of the detention of such cattle, as provided in the Second Schedule. II the 1:111cJ is fenced, the occupier" may claim the tivspavs rates provided ir. t'v Second Schedule, or he may claim and sue for the amount of acGuii damage sustained. Every pru-rrem man carries "Nazoi" in his vest pocket;. Nothing so good for preventing and relieving coughs j nnd cold» fiO doses ]* fid.- Adrt. GIVE HP AS TOGETHER. Tills M !•'. A 'S> : V (r.HEAT DEAL "llad to give up" is very Ea) reaching in its meaning sometimes, and generally includes iu its influence other than tho one ail'ected. When the giving up is on account of a lame back, which is lame kidneys, we are miserable indeed. Not sick enough for bed, perhaps, but that lame back stops one from one's daily occupation just as surely as typhoid fever would. Many a reader of this cau't afford to give up, must keep on in spite of the back, and he can if he will but profit by the experience given below. Mr J. I<\ Mclienzie, groom, Express Stables, l (1 oxton, says: - "A long time ago I hurt my back and for years afterwards I suffered agony from awful pains just above my kidneys. i was often so bad that \ dare not stoop, in fact was completely crippled with the pain. My rest at night was broken, and 1 always felt tired and worn out. The kidney seditions were also affected, being thick and cloudy, with a brick-dust-like sediment. One day 1 was induced to try Doan's Backache Kidney Pills, and was soon astonished at their effectiveness. The first bottle relieved me so much that I got some more, and three bottles completely aured me, and X have not been afflicted with backache and kidney troubles since. I always keep Doan's Backache Kidne T Pills by me, and take them r-ow and again, just a preventative against any return." sage of the back that aches, for it is a sign that your kidneya need help. Heed the warning ana give your kidneya immediate help by taking the great kidney and bladder remedy—Dean's Backache Kidney Pills. For sale by or will be posted on receipt of price by Foster-MrCl.ennan Co., 3s per bottle (eia bottles 16s 6d), 7*} Pitjt street, Sydney. But. be oure you get DOAN'S.

ON - ADVERTISING The true test of advertising is tho '■ effect it produces. A business notico in a paper that is nob opened regularly obviously is of less use than an advertisement in a paper that overyono reads. The Horowhenua Daily Chronicle is read by every settler in the district. A big proportion of the farmors subscribe to it, and others see it at their neighbours' houses or the k creameries. The story of the transfer of it<s news items to the steaks and chops is ben trovato but untrue, tho purveyors of joints and entrees uso plain paper, and preserve Tho Chronicle for future reference. The townspeople all take The Chronicle; most 3 of them from The Chronicle runner; a * dozen or so from their neighbours' ' iront gates. To our view this practice is reprehensible, but adverfisers in The Chronicle gain extra publicity thereby, for the regular subscribers always re- , ceive an extra copy when the first one does not reach the proper people. Tho local news is The Chronicle's speciality. ( and the citizens and settlers naturally seek this in tho advertisements as ivell as iu the records of social and geue.-al happenings. In the city newspapers, with their eight or sixteen pages of minion type, an advertisement is buried ; but in The Chronicle's four openfaced pages of leaded brevier the business announcements catch tho eye of all who open the paper. It pays to advertise: the proof is to be lound in the various profitable and growing rotail businesses of Levin. Many of Tho chronicle's best customers for advertising are spontaneous witnesses ot this fact. Fair-priced __ articles oi good quality are tiio bedrock of suocess fill business, but the coping-fctono ol profit is publicity. A seller of crayfish who covers hits cart with the tarpaulin of concealment and exercises not his vocal organs gathers no pence. So, too, tiie business mail who shuns publicity has for his lot the sadness oi profits curtailed and the guerdon of mollis and weevils aanmrfirri trHTTiwiaußa
