' Breeders of first-class hacks will be pleased to learn that the services of the well-known Hackney Stallion, “ Ringwood,” is again at their disposal. This stallion is well put together and carries himself admirably. He has won 10 first and one second prize, and has never been beaten since he was a yearling. One of “ Ringwood’s " foals took two first prizes at the Te Aroha A. and H. Society’s last show. The present dairying season promises to be a very successful one in this district. Mr J. B. Thomas, of Waihou, who, amongst other settlers, is giving a good deal of attention to dairying, is milking 49 cows which are giving, at present, a daily yield of loOOlbs of milk, the test reading 3.8. Such results as the above are very encouraging and go to prove what good qualities the lands of Te Aroha and surrounding districts possess for dairying purposes. Everyone has read the old fable about the farmer who advised his sons to till the soil and gain wealth (says the Wairarapa Standard). Last year Mr. Frank Judd lost a good watch while ploughing and, although search was made, no trace could be found of the timepiece. Last week he was ploughing the same piece of land when he discovered the watch in a newly-turned farrow. The peculiar part of the affair is that Mr. Judd gave the watch a shake and it started going—and is going yet.

It is decided that in future, State school cadet battalion camps will not be approved unless it can be shown that the cadet companies composing a battalion are well grounded in elementary subjects. Company camps will supersede battalion camps in such cases, and the boys will be trained in the subjects necessary to ensure a proper co-operation in case of battalion operations. A systematic musketry and physioal training will be the chief feature of such company camps. Scouting, tracking finding direction by night and day, developing the powers of observation, judging distances of objects, pitching and striking tents, making hasty shelter, the use of the compass, reconuoitring the writing of brief field reports, map-reading, etc., will also form part of the camp instruction. The Taranaki rep. footballers paid a visit to Te Aroha yesterday arriving by the express. They play Waihi on Wednesday.
