All who hail the privilege of hearing the Rev. G. 11. Colo will be delighted to hear he is giving his famous dramatic recital on "Waif and Stray Work in Melbourne," to-night. It is both humorous and pathetic, and is freely illustrated by graphic pictures giving a comprehensive idea of the work done on behalf of the "submerged tenth" in our colonial cities. Tile proceeds are On behalf of this work. Belgium, with a disadvantage in cli-

mate, carries 30 per cent, more live stock to the acre than England. New Zealand, where in most parts vegetation grows almost all the year round, is far behind the Old Country'in stock-carry-

ing, though the' comparison as regards' crops is less unfavorable to us. Our Dominion, even more than the British

Islands, contains almost every variety of soil and atmosphere desirable for the growth of crops and live stock, and the prosperity of our agriculture will depend upon these advantages being fully utilised by improved and thorough methods of culture and suitable and judicious manuring.

That "Sykcs's Drench" is not merely a locally-known veterinary medicine is very readily acknowledged. Should there be any doubt about it. however, the owner of the doubt could have rid himself of it tile other day by a look at the great pile of 100 ease's of the "Drench" stacked along the outside of the kerb opposite Mr. Sykes' pharmacy. It was bound for Wellington, in which province dairying i s 0 „ (| lt . i| K .,. ca6e . An increasing dairy industry, successful dairymen and Sykes' Drench are boon companions-one very seldom finds the one 'without the other.

In the days of long ago, when Stratford 'was a very young centre, says the Post, Strange tales of whisky stills and big sprees and saurian monsters used occasionally to float out to places where settlement was older and less strenuous. Legend hath it that strange doings went on in those dink ages ill what is now the highly respectable hostelry conducted by Mr. T. hawless, and that the cellars under this hotel were connected by a secret passage with the l'atca river. The othe r day, while some important alterations were being made the workmen discovered a pipe leading from the cellar up through the bar into an upstairs chimney, and cunningly boarded over so as to evade detection. Mr. Lawless has no doubt but that that pipe played a very important part at some period m the early' history of the hotel, and its uncovering conjures up visions I of illicit stills and casks of whiskywild, fierce, free whisky of its kind that scorns to pay duty, and kills at the longest knows range. A few years ago football teams travailing on Taraimki trains were somewhat of a nuisance, and the cricketers and hockeyists were held up as patterns. A newspaper article had the effect of quietening the footballers. By-and-bvo the hockey folk managed to make "a noise one night in a train, and once more a newspaper man drew attention to the fact. The publication of the paragraph led to official enquiries', and the offending club was hailed before the Association. Action .was deferred pendino- the decision of the Railway Department The Department bns decided not to prosecute, but has intimated that all ticket privileges grunted to athletic teams would up discontinued if further similar complaints reached the Department. Tile Hockey Association has left tl„. matter ill the president's hands ,and no doubt he lesson will be brought home to members of all travelling teams that aav misconduct on their part will cndan-eV the privileges extended to their own ami kindred sports. (So far we have not heard anv serious complaint about the lady hockeyists, who, of course, would fall with their male confreres und-r the ofhcial ban. There are no lady football teams as vet.
