The speaker suggested that farmers should remove their heavy stock from meadow land during the winter, so that it should not ho trodden down.‘and the spring growt would he earlier. He pointed out that when the export lamb trade had commenced to expand it had been foretold that tho quality and number of tho flocks would ho reduced, but such had not been the case.

TWO SOVEREIGN REMEDIES. Tho Famous Baade*- find Sons’ Pure Volatile Eucalypti Extract was proved by exports at tho Supremo Court of Victoria to possosss curative properties peculiarly its own, and to be absolutely safe, effective and reliable. Therefore, do not aggravate your complaint by the use of one of tho many crude eucalyptus oils which are now palmed off as “Extracts,'’ and from tho use of which a death has been reported recently, out insist upon tho Genuine Sander"and Sons’ Eucalypti Extract, and reject ajl others. For wrinkles, spuburu, pimples, blackheads, freckles, cracked hands, dry and inflamed skin use Sander ami Sons' Snporba Skin Food. No lady should bo without it. Allays irritation, produces a clear and spot- ‘ loss complexion, and a smooth and supple skin. Remember that Sander and Sous’ Snporba Skin Food is not an ordinary fa.ee cream, and unlike any of. them, produces a permanently beantifying effect. Obomists and sto’ Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure for Coughs and Golds never fails. U (id pud Qd,

day morning of Joseph TV. Jordan. Deceased arrived in the Colony in 1863 and took up land in Eangitikei. Ho later became Stock Inspector in Wellington and Wanganui districts. Deceased was. the first secretary of Wanganui A. and P.
