Westemwolths grass in producing remarkable results at Sandon. Mr S. Avery haa a paddock of ten aeres. It seems almost impossible to keep u head of the wonderful growth of this patch. The owner has 16 cows and some heifers, and is also running 10 cows belonging to a neighbour—in all about 36 head of cattle—on this small paddock, in apparently a vain endeavour to keep the growth down. Th« seed sown was the original seed obtained direct from Holland. Attention is drawn to the change of advertisement in connection with the champion polo ponv stallion, "White Wings " This horsa is being extensively availed of by the Oeßt breeders in the Waikato, and if inducement offers special days will be allowed Otorohanga and Te Kuiti. The owner, Mr vV. A.

Remarkably cheap quotation! are made for electricity under the new Lake Coleridge scheme. Speaking'at Linwood the other night, the Mayor estimated the coßt per month for a house with six lights at 23 4d. It is rumoured, says the Sydney Sunday Timeß, that early in the next year the Union Steamship Company's Royal Mail steamer Niagara will make a trip direct to England, via the Panama Canal. It is understood that who: 1 , he returns from her next Canadian trip thia huge 13,000-ton liner will be diHpatched on her maiden voyage to London. Thiß has been made possible by the fact that the Canal is now ready for shipping, although not officially opened. The Niagara left Svdney for Vancouver on Saturday and will be back again in Sydney eight week later. While in these waters she will make three trips to Auckland in connection with the Exhibition, thui making her sailing date lor London about the first or second week in I January next. In the firHt six months of the current year New Zealand sent into the British markets 479,000cwt. of cheese, as compared with 210,000cwt. from Canada. It was expected, however, that Canada would then turn ita balance during the next six months. Nine years ago, in 1904, Canadian cheese constituted 72.4 per cent, of British cheese imports, while New Zealand's share was only 3 per cent. In the year ended June 30th last, the Canadian article accounted for only 5G.5 per cent., while that from New Zealand had risen to 25 per cent. In other words, during the last nine years, the Canadian export n of cheese to the United Kingdom have fallen from 98,000 tons to 66,000 tons, and, in the same period. New Zealand's exports have risen from 4000 to 29,000 tons. The New Plymouth News is tired of the subscription business. It saya:— The average sport* body iB generallyfound after its annual meeting loaded up with a long string of patrons, a dozen vice-presidente, twice that number of eub-viee-preidents, and a whole list of other unnecessary officers who are variously estimated in value at from a couple of guineas to a modest "dollar." It is a frank form of blackmail at the pistol's mouth that ia highly objectionable, and 19 neither to the organisation that indulges in it nor pleasant to their victims. If these gentlemen were to subscribe to the funds of any be permitted to do so voluntarily, without having the "honour" thrust upon them in such a barefaced manner. The system is little short of flagrant indecency. Members of Parliament are, of course, the pitncipal sufferers, and many of them are perfect poo-bahs in the multiplicity of offices they are allowed to l hold, at a guinea a time, from president of the Weary Willies' Rest Club to patron of the Home for Tired Prevarictors.
