Two horses are impounded . and will be •mar wm*- -lotn^rat^t^Btv -flwueg claimed. A full dress rehearsal will be held to-morrow night, of Pinafore, at the hall. . All-members of the company are requested to attend at 7.30 sharp. It is stated that ' the- 'cost's of the petitioner in the Waitemata election petition case. are £700, subject to reduction by taxation. The respondent's costs are estimated' at half that amount. A resident of Warrnambool (Vie.) has made an experiment with a small crop of potatoes, similar to that tried in France, with splendid results. He adopted the following system: — Used sound potatoes, of medium size, and planted them whole, Srst ploughing the ground very deeply. Before planting he steeped the tubers for twenty-four hours. in a bath composed of ; sulphate of ammonia and nitrate of potash, 1 of each '6lb tb~ ~2sgal '.d! water; then he fallowed them to stand 24 hours before planting. .' He proceeded to dig the potatoes, and the result of the experiment was? at once apparent. There were from 30 to 40 large tubers on each sta.lk, and a little patch 16ft by 9ft yielded 1801 b net; being equal to 24t'ons Gcwt 191b^ per acre.. . Au > adjacent -plot of ground was pikntisAVin' thenrdinary way, and gave a yield of 7 tons per acre. . 1 * -"SloiTofus just "feel that way :— Yodng WifeS Ho# aioe^ itwbuld be if. .life were a 1 perpetual honeymoon— nothing but billing j sauxl cpoing.Tt- Young Husband : H'm I I ; "think I' coiifd 'get along with- just the. . cooing.
