FARM AND DAIRY.

A vigorous correspondence, in which Mr. Ernest Short has figured, has been taking place in the Pa.storali.sts • .Review on the subject of Ilomney sheep and their suitability for the Australian lamb export trade. In the current number, Mr. James O'Rourke, of Waihao Downs, Canterbury, writes protesting against what he calls the "wild and ridiculous" statements 01 the Romney advocates. Commenting on this, the Review says that no one will deny the value ot the Romney to New Zealand, for it has pulled many a North Island sheepfanner out of low water. Taking the stud flock figures for 1000 for the Dominion as a whole, there arc 218.434 pure Romnevs, 110,503 pure Lincoln*. 08.887 pure English Leicesters, and 86.41S pure Border Leicesters. Five fat lambs that were killed at the Invnrairgill abattoir last week averaged 771bs each, and the top weight was 851b. They were bred by Mr. Chas. TiUL'hcs, of Loncrbush, and probably constitute' a record for this season's lairiTw.

" The largest farm in New Zealand, Longbcfich, is now reduced to six thousand acres. ~ Speaking of average crops, the manager says:—"The best average yield we. had here was in 1001, when the wheat went fifty bushels to the acre all over, and the worst was in 1008, which v-as the second of two yen' dry seasons, and then the average yield went down to about twenty-two bushels t» the acre, a tremendous drop. The biggest total of wheat taken o|V the farm was in J 800, when the yield was 300.000 bushels Our record for oats was in 11)01. when they averaged 00 bushels per acre."

People who are disfigured with Eczema need not despair. Listen to what Mrs. Jane Robinson, of '•'>. Commodore-street, Newtown, Sydney, says in respect to her case. This lady removed a patch of Eczema four years old by means ot one week's treatment with Rexona. "Rexona Ointment removed a patch of Eczema from my face in less than » week in a manner that was positively startlin". This patch of Eczema was very unsightly, and really I was ashamed to go out of the house. This Eczema had been on my face for about four venrs when I started to use the Rexona. I had tried all sorts of ointments and other remedies, but all without any effect at all. After a few applications of Rexona, however, the irritation was much decreased and the Eczema scabs began to come off, leaving new skin underneath. The improvement kept up day by flay till all tlie swibs were gone and a perfect new skin appeared" where the disfiguring Eczema formerly was. The wonderfully speedy cure Rexona Ointment effected has astonished and delighted me." Rexona, the new skin remedy, is t>old only in triangular pots at Is Cd and 3s. Obtainable at Bullock and Johnston's, agents, Devon street, New Plymouth.
