A good number of farmers and others assembled at the Chinamen's gardens in Chapel Street, Masterton, 011 Wedneslay morning, to witness an exhibition of totatCHspraying by Jlr Fitch, the repif •"ntati"" if tb<> \fr'-ultural J v
sentative of i.»e Agricultural <jpar, ment. Included among those presen were several boys from the secondar; classes at the District High School. Be fore giving the exhibition Mr Fitch gav some information on the most impoi bant points in preparing and applyini she Bordeaux mixture as a preventive o blight. His remarks wore on the line jf Professor Kirk's lecture here. ll' rtated ..that very great care should b iakeu to see that the Milestone wa jure, otherwise the results B'ould no je satisfactory. To test it a small quan jtv should be dissolved in a tumbler anc i little ammonia added. If pure it wouk urn a dark ultra-marine blue, witliou' ediment; if not pure there would be i irown sedimeoit. In preparing th< iquid it was also very necessary thai rooden vessels should be used in whicli o dissolve the bluestone, and the limerater should be poured into the bluetone, and not vice versa. This was imlortant. Yrliero pure limestone was not 'bti&mable, washing soda could be subtituted, using Slbs instead of 41bs of imo. Soda had its advantages, inasmcli a.s tbore was uo sediment, and it id not require straining. To obtain the test refciil(6, cnly sufficient'quantity f the liquid should be mixed to last fot
one day's spraying. The lime and blue stone could 'be kejk for some time aftei dissolving, but they should be kept ir separate vessels. Care should be taken to spray the unde'r-part of the leaves, for it was there that the fungus chiefly developed.
The Opposition numbers amongst its members two men of world-wide reputo for diplomatic knowledge and oapaoity Lord Rosebery and Sir Charles Djlko. Lord Rosebery is impossible froni tlio Radical point of view on iiuiny grounds, and from tin l British point of view especially, 'because of his indiscreet depreciation of the Anglo-French entente.

Therefore, in the continuation of the grave negotiations still incomplete, 'the Radicals would havolu invent, a Foreign Minister whose name and capacity would U' absolutely unknown- to the other iiatiuns of the_world.—" Daily Telegraph."
