He was missed on this occasion, but no efforts were made to find him, and he was accidently discovered by some of the Horowhenua natives who were mustering horses beneath a flax bush at the edge of a swamp between Horowhenua Lake .and Povoutawhao. He bad evidently been dead some time, and the body had been devoured by wild pigs. It was known to be his body by the clothes, bat, etc. The remains were put into a basket and taken to Kereru, where the body was decently buried by direction of the chief, Kereopa.

It is that the accounts of the co-operative contracts were — at least to a considerable extent— based on deliberately falsified returns. I kno\v two instances Where officers were required, on pain of losing their billets, to show that the cooperative system was cheaper to the country than the contract one.

In asking the question he expressed the opinion that it would be muoh more profitable tp take the suggestion made instead of grazing bullocks, ta- the chi dren could milk the cows before going to schools The Minister said it waß a fact' the State farm manager had 18 bullocks grazing on the farm and he hoped it would be profitable. He was of opinion that milking should be gone into, and he would Bee that it should be done very soon* The prtftoher at- tha Methodist Church to-mortow is Rev. S.
