Mr. Walter \\\ Jones, formerly of J Stratford, who has been for two or | three years in Queensland, has given his impressions. The following paragraph in his letter written to Mr. W. A. McCutchan and published in the Stratford Post, .slims it up: —"The Downs are not what they are cracked up to be. From a conversation I had with n clerk in the New Zealand Loan and Mercantile offices in Brisbane, and from what 1 gathered from others (including auctioneers) in a position to know, II very much doubt whether any part of the Downs will carry two sheep to the acre, even on small selected areas, unless fed on lucerne, which is not grown to the extent that we in Xcw Zealand ar" accustomed to imagine. The price of land in Queensland, and especially on the Downs, is to my mind dangerously high, and leaves no margin on which to make either a turnover or to stand the drought, which", judged hv past history, should come along before long." Chinese emperors are never mentioned by name from the moment of their aversion. and are generally alluded to by Rome Mich title as "Tx>rd of a Myriad Years" or "The Son of 1 Tea von."
