There was a keen demand for the third shipment of New Zealand cattle which was landed in Melbourne recently, and the 600 bullocks realised the very satisfactory average price of £29 10s and the 100 cows brought au average price of £l6 10s. On the trip across seven p£ the cattle were lost. Out of a total of 720 all told, this represents a loss of less than 1 per cent. Mr McLean, who is exporting the cattle, states that the fourth shipment of cattle will comprise 720 head, including about 100 cows. An example of huge economic waste is t,o be seen ar a Palmerston North motor engineer’s premises (says the “Manawatu Daily Times”). Seven hundred used solid motor lorry tyres await removal to the rubbish heap. These tyres cost the owners £14,000. There are ten tons of unperished rubber and twenty tons of solid steel in the heap, but New Zealand has no means of utilising these valuable products. The same establishment dumped a similar quantity a short time ago. O. Smiling EJyes ! sweet smiling eyes ’ Their charm survives when beauty dies— One happy glance speeds gloom away Like sunshine on a win'fer’s day. Bright eyes, which greet us with a smile Can even hardened hearts beguile, They cheer the anguished to endure Like soothing Woods’ Great Peppermint cure.
