At the Government Experimental Station, Levin, experiments on cabbage feeding of dairy cattle have been carried on for the last three seasons with great success from every point of view. The best of the varieties tried were Sutton’s improved drum head, Sutton’s improved drum head Savoy, and Robinson’s drum head. All three

rancors gave most prolific crops but A :-V- improved drum hand proved to have the best keeping qualities, lasting last season well on into August. Although grass was abundant a marked increase in milk was noticed immediately after cabbage feeding commenced. This season maize, cut green, is being mixed with the cabbages. The feed is simply carted out each evening and spread broadcast in the paddock. About 10 acres have been put down in cabbages this season.

Tho ways of the law to the learned and unlearned are strange. The other day a creditor in saeing a debtor offered to admit the value of a set-off, when the lawyer for the defendant refused to have anything to do with it. The case went on, when finally judgment was given to tho creditor, and aider a few minutes the lawyer asked the Magistrate if he would deduct the set off which the creditor acknowledged. The Magistrate reminded the lawyer that judgment had been given for the creditor, and it must so stand, as the lawyer had repudiated having anything to do with the set-off.

The idea of f the sham fighting at Easter here will be that a force has landed on the coast (the Wanganui battalion) to march on Wellington, and the Wellington and Hawke’s Bay men will do their best to stop them at different points.

Shortly after the publication of the the names of the cricketers picked to play in the match to-day against Levin a letter was received from the Secretary of that Club stating his inability to get a team together and that the match would have to he postponed to the nest season. This was a great disappointment especially as this match had been postponed for to day a fortnight previously. It does not speak much for the Levin Club especially as the Foxton Club sooner than disappoint them went with only seven meu to keep their appointment.

Several of the wooden schools of South Canterbury have been partially usurped by bees, and from time to time the Board of Education has had to expend a few pounds to have Weather-boarding taken off and replaced, in order to dislodge the insects. But new swarms have defied the board. In one school, a member stated, the teacher keeps a “ blue-bag ” in the school for relieving stung children. At its meeting this week the Board decided to invest in a fiimigatof. The Matin gives, tor the first time, a complete list of Madame Humbert’s creditors, together with a statement ot their claims and of the amounts admitted to be due to them in the account books seized at the great house in the Avenue de la Grande Armes.

Marchaad, of Dunkirk, whose debt is not less than £1,003,531; the smallest is a gentleman from Rouen, whose name is not mentioned, and who claims only for Bs.

Police-Inspector Macdonell brought under the notice of the Napier Borough Council last night the practice of some of the bakers of the town who are in the habit of carting new bread, entirely uncovered, on the tops of their carts, and consequently exposed to contamination from dust and other undesirable matter. He thought that propably it might require a short bylaw to stop this practice. Dr Lascelles said the council had insisted upon the butchers covering their meat, and bakers should be asked to do the same thing in regard to their goods, in the interests of the public health. The matter was referred to the Sanitary Committee.

Every year, as probably ratepayers know too well, a fresh valuation of all new buildings and improvements are made, which is known as the supplementary valuation. This has been mad ; by Mr Alf Fraser, and duly advertised, and apparently everyone was satisfied with what had been done as no one objected, and the Judge of the Court on Thursday duly signed the list. Mr Alf Fraser informs us that the extra valuation amounts to an increase of £217 rental, which means about £ 13 xos extra rates. The late Mr Charles Pharazyn, news of whose death in London has been received by cable, was the only surviving son of Mr C. J. Pharazyn, of Wellington, who recently celebrated his hundredth birthday. He arrived in the colony with his parents in 1841, and for years was engaged in pastoral pursuits, in which he met with much success. In business matters generally he was regarded as a man of keen, sound judgment, and his affairs are understood to have prospered greatly. About twelve years ago he went to England with his wife and young children. Since then cable messages have shown that he has been interesting himself in some very large projects, including the acquiring of a vast tract of land in the Northern Territory of South Australia. It is understood that he recently underwent a surgical operation, which it is thought did not prove successful, and possibly may have led to his death. He was twice mimed, and several of his children are now in the colony.
