BOMBAY.

(Travelling Representative—Continued) J. WALLACE. By a private road I pass through the farm of Mr J. Wallace, Mr Madill's having recently been purchased from here. There are z22 aces of land, a rich volcanic soil which grows all crop 3 luxuriantly. I examined here the best crop of oats I have eeen this season. 18 acres which Bhould go at least three tons to the acre. A fertilising mixture of 1J cwt to the acre had been used, half super and half bone, with the fure-going excellent result. Twenty cows are milked, grade Jerseyß and Shnrtborns. Mr Wallace took this farm over in a'rather neglected state, but in a short while should have it producing twice the present output. Some 130 ewes and lambs hid been wint-.red, also 40 cattle, and large paddocks of bay were being cut on the day of my visit.
