•‘There is too iihU'ti of the Hon have me, and.l’ll liai-e you,'.il.hdiit the farmer of New Zealand,” said Mr hear, organiser of the Farmers Dairy Union, at a meeting at Levin, when speaking of-'Tobber cows (reports tlm “Levin Chronicle”). Fanners quitted their cull cows, probably giving a lull guarantee, and tin 1 buyers, after using Com for twelve months, passed them on. This went on from season to season, involving hundreds, perhaps thousands, of cows in Hie country to-day. It meant a great loss all round, and steps should he taken In (nil a stop to it ohee aitd for all.

There are 100 many people nowadays wlm believe in getting siiihethitig for nothing (says the “Wanganui Herald.”). Some of them achieve their cm!. A local draper is at present scanning the faces ot those who pass his shop, endeavourin'.; to discover a woman who seems an expert in carrying the above principle—or lack of it into effect. She came into the shop a few da vs ago and found her fancy attracted ' y a nice “marabout” made of leathers. She haggled over the price, was uncertain if “he” would lik•> it, and finally, picking it up, said she would go out to the door and show i; to “him." She did, and she is showing if to hilll yet.

Recent visitors to Rotorua state that business people there say the season they are passing through is probably the wars' in the history of the town I: ardinghouses are empty, and a good deal of cutting in prices is taking place. T’ e prices of the different trips have also been reduced owing to the slack condition prevailing (states the Auckland “Star”). A trip which formerly cost Pis (id. was now indy charged is (ill, and a trip which used to cost i7s (id, could be done for ills, but even at these rates very little business was being done.

A rather sensational accident occurred in Blenheim last week. Mr C. Cns-ello reports the “Express”) was performing some soldering repairs to a big benzine reservoir of the type which is carried at the rear of most motor-cars, when a violent explosion occurred. The petrol bail been drawn out of the tank, but apparently the dregs were of considerable quantity, anil their ignition from the red-hot sol-dering-iron caused the explosion. The ends of the tank were blown clean out. One found nil exit via the roof, taking two sheets of corrugated iron in its <nurse. The partitions riveted in the tank wee to’ii out. .Mr Costello was thrown violently to to the floor, but apart from the scaring of the front of his vest and a blow on the throat he escaped unseratched. The concussion buckled the stout bench at which lie was working, but the windows and skylights in close proximity were undamaged.
