Most Australian papers do their little bit to push our cart along, but it is mostly useless as the papers only circulate amongst our own people. The Lone Hand is to have a circulation of 50,000, will circulate all over the world, and if it doesn’t influence the tide of immigration to turn our way, it will fail in its chief mission. The magazine will go in for good all-round quality rather than for a couple of features, and a quantity of inferior matter per issue, as is the case with a big percentage of English and American magazines. In the first issue will be “ The Bulletin Memoirs,” by J. F. Archibald,

founder, and for many years editor. It contains many fine pictures of early political life. Some of the choicest of Victor J. Daley’s poetry is included, and there are articles, stories, and pictures galore. A feast for the Gods, ! apparently, but it will be given to the public on May Ist, to pass judgment on.

Before deciding to buy an unproved or “ improved” machine, wait till the heavy flow of milk is on. Previous machines appeared to milk all right in the slack season, but failed hopelessly on heavy milking cows. A trial even of one season is not long enough to see if any injury results to the cows, and it is not only after a second season that the safety of any milking machine can be determined. Why experiment when you can secure the “ L.K.G.” machine, which has been five years in practical use, and has been proved by 250 level-headed New Zealand farmers, to be a complete commercial success.
