During a discussion on cow testing, at the meeting of the Midhirst Dairy Co. yesterday, a supplier stated that he had raised his average test in a few from 3.0 to 4 by using his commonsense in judging the quantity and quality of the milk, and not by any system of testing.

A ' correspondent writes: tramways manager would give instructions to conductors to let passengers know when the end of a section' was reached, particularly at night, it would be to the benefit of the public. On Sunday night, for instance, some passengers who desired to alight at the end of one section, discovered too late tha* the tram had passed it, anil had perforce to go on to the next stopping place. This would npt have been so bad, but tin; conductor came along and demanded the fare for the extra section, stating that he had called out the name of the street. If he did he was not heard by any of the passengers in the middle compartment, it being only a small car. One or two of the conductors call out the name of the street and also when the section ends, and the public appreciates this. It is apparently optional at present whether a conductor gives the passenger this information or not. Tt is a small matter which has apparently not been brought before the manager.''

IT IS THE DISTINCTIVE QUALITY OF SANDER'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT—its freedom from rosins and woody impurities, its grout antiseptic healing, stimulating powers, and its safet\—that prompted the- highest medical authorities to recommend it as the only cuen'.yptus produced fit for internal use. At the Supreme Court at Victoria, a witness testified that he was made much worse by a substitute which was sold as ''just as good" as SANDER'S EXTRACT, and his trouble (ulcer) was healed rapidly bv the GENUINE SANDER'S EXTRACT afterwards. In disease it is the drop which cures that counts, and the common eucalyptus which is fit for mechanical purposes, such as making varnish only, should never be employed as a remedial agent/ SANDER'S'EXTRACT can be *ed on the most tender surface or internally with perfect safety, and when taken iis directed will always benefit. Coughs will be eorjvmon the next few mouths. Their life is short when vou use SYKES'S CUBA COUGH, la Od all °ioroa.
