When a New Zealand soldier is killed whilst on active service and has left a will, !„nd the Courts vill grant probate I matter, because it is reasonable to assume that he has not made any other will, and the Courts will grant probate of the will left behind But when a man who is killed has not left a will hove the difficulty is to satisfy the Court, v. hen application is made for administration, that he did"ncj m.-.ke a will a/t?r le-iv.'iig New Zealand. The judgment of the Full Court in re Boyd, deals with the question of what evidence the Judges will require before granting administration in such a case. The judgment also calls attention to the fact that the will of a soI-> dier on active service does not need to be attested. In Cogan's case probate was granted on a postcard. This the latest judicial deliverance is interesting in itself, interesting also in its recognition |of principles that were laid down by the .Roman law. •, FAMOUS HOSIERY STORE. V THE MELBOURNE, LTD.

At various times of * the year the Auckland provincial branch of the New Zealand Farmers' Union sends circulars to its various branches with a request for information in regard to farming operations. Some fifty brandies recently asked the number of dairy cows in the district, area in oats, increase over last year, area in wheat and grass, etc. The replies point to the fact that in the dairying districts there has been a general increase in the number of cows milked. It was estimated that at Otorohanga there were nearly 2000 cows being milked, at Waitoa 4700, in East Tamaki 1300, and in the comparatively small district of ICatikati 1200. In the areas under wheat and oats, and the area under new grass substantial increases were again apparent. In the Upper Harbor district there were COO acres of oats, being an increase of 100 acres over last year. At Katikati it was estimated thnt there were COO acres sown in new grass last autumn, at Kumeu 550, at Pongakawa, Bay of Plenty, 1000 acres, and at Waitoa also 1000 acres.
