There wan a feeling among courKaDore thai tit; money would not he available, bat Mr. Wright has received definite assurance that the ntonsy required will be av&il--eOble. A distinctly noval method of agseSfting a motor ear for taxation purpose#. i». that adopted by the atrfhoaitiee in Alberta, Canada. Hitherto in that province ears license fees have been based on horse-power rating more or lees than they are in this country, the charge being 60 cents per horse-power In future, however, the rating is to be fixed by the length of wheel base from hob to hob centre. He scale of mumal payments is as followB; Wheel-base not exceeding Bft. 4in £3 with an additional 10s for every extra Sins, up to £5 10s, not exceeding 10ft lOins £6 10s, and not exceeding lift. 3 ms. £7.

She was sold for 3,600 guineas. This English record ift nothing to cable out to New Zealand about (says the Auckland Star.) Apparently it i» the completed reeord of Eske Hetty, whose record to January 13th last was' 20,0491b of ™ilk, a fact which was boomed, as it made this cow the first one in the British Isles to give 2000 gallons. In this country main importance is attached to the butterfat production. Nothing is said of this in the English record. If the cow referred to is Ecke Hetty, the milk of this cow shows an average test of from 357 (under the legal standard) to 3.50 per cent. There is a New Zealand Friesian now under test, Westmere Princess iPietertje, the property of Mr J. Donald,' of Wanganui, which gave 23,4001b of milk and 9041b of fat, her test being 4.3 per cent up to the end of April, and she then had over a month to go. American Friesian records go up to 27,4321b of milk, a Califovnian Friesian heifer having just given 24,628 lb of milk, and 10651b of fart in twelve months. WHOOPING COUGH. SPLENDID HOME-MADE REMEDY.
