“ The man who says he has no time to record has not a vestige of right to complain that dairy farming is not paying, because he is obviously ignoring the foundation stone os | the business.” —Farmer and Stock- [ breeder. A neighbouring farmer’s daughter happened to observe a Waimea lucerne grower enthusiast loosening the earth with gelignite (reports the Nelson Evening Mail). Shots were fired at short distances, and, finding that the free earth on top was being blown about, the grower placed an old coat he happened to have with him over the top. There was great concern on the part of the young lady when the coat was blown into the air with the sleeves empty and distended. It was thought (not unnaturally) that the lucerne-grower hnd gone up in the air well ahead of his coat.
