LOCAL AND GENERAL.

A small Taranaki factory has sold its output of butter for tweive months gt one shilling per pound. The Masterton Professional Musicians' Associaticta will hold their annual social on October'9th. Future meetings of the Wairarapa Hospital and Charitable Aid Board are to be held at 10.30 in the morning, instead of noon, a« at present. A land deal on a fairly substantial scale has recently been, effected by a •Napier firm in the purchase,at Motoroa, on the Main Trunk, of some 10,000 acres of land for Mr A. H. Russell, of Hawke's Bay. It is stated that the purchase price runs into about £70,000. The Masterton Dairy Company has extended its operations considerably and with a favourable season the out,put of butter should be largely increased. The company's mote- is already operating in the Te Whiti,Gladstome, Taratahi and Ho'uebush districts, where cream is picked up from suppliers. The motor will visit Tinui, Langdale and Taueru in a few days, and Kopuaranga on Saturday. At present sixty suppliers are "sending cream or milk to the factory, and the number will be increased shortly. The opinion that excellent openings exist in Vancouver for New Zealand produce has been formed by Mr G. P. Donnelly, a well-known grazier of Hawke's Bay, "who returned by the Niagara. "As a producing country," he said, "New Zealand is one of the very best, and all she requires to make her one of the richest is the provision of additional transport facilities in the direction of these big markets across the Pacific which are opening theirjloors to her butter, her meat, and her wool." Mr Donnelly expressed the hope that the Government would do all that was possible to embrace the opportunities that had been very forcibly impressed on him during his stay in Vancouver. Mr T. V. Moore complained at yesterday's meeting of the Wairarapa Hospital and Charitable Aid Board that details of the average cost of patients in the various institutions i had latterly not been supplied. The I secretary stated that it was a physical impossibility for him to attend to all the detail work of the office .When he was appointed he had only the work of the Board, and of the Masterton Hospital and Charitable Aid Board to deal with. Now he had the work of the "Greytown and Pahiatua Hospitals, as well as the Buchanan Home to attend to. Members probably did not realise the amount of detail work attached to the office. He had worked seven days in the week, and frequently up till one or two in the morning. He had only one paid of hands, and he positively could not do more than he had been doing. He suggested that an assistant was required in the office. It was decided that the secretary furnish the details asked for by Mr Moore. Oh the motion of Mr Ewington, it was decided that the question of giving the secretary an increase in salary or empowering him to emplay an assistant be referred to the Central Committee for a report. In the meantime the secretary was authorised to expend £1 aTweek in procuring clerical assistance.

Recently a spring school of instruction in agriculture wa& held at Master ton for teachers. It was held under the supervision of Mr C. Cuming, Instructor of Agriculture*, who in submitting a report to the Wellington Education Board, said that the school was attended by 38 teachers, seventeen men and twenty-one women. The work consisted of lectures and practical work in agriculture, chemistry, botany, nature study, hygiene, and the use of the microscope. The lectures were those as outlined .in the syllabus issued to the schools. Individual work was permitted so that each teacher could be doing something he had not done before. Weather observations and woodwork also occupied the attention of the teachers. Tn a covering report the chief inspector (Mr T. R. Fleming) stated that he had found the teachers working most earnestly, with great enthusiasm. Mr Cuming was to be commended for the success of' the school. The, board, in receiving the report, passed a vote of thanks to Mr Cockayne, of the Agricultural Deto Mr F. King, of Masterton, and to Mr Jackson, of the District High School, Masterton. The final reuearsal with all performers, in-'connectipn with the physical culture and gymnastic display, was held in the gymnasium last evening, when the complete programme was rehearsed in detail. Everything from the first item: to the last, was carried through without a hitch. The instructors (Messrs Jarrett and Williams) have evidently, taken great interest in the various branches of the physioal work. The pupils have made marked progress during the season. Some of the old members are giving a fine exhibition of advanced work on the apparatus, parallel bars, vaulting horse, and horizontal bar, with the several pyramids and tableaux attached to each. The floor pyramids and mat-work, tumbling, etc., is of a varied and active order, while several of the marches are new to Masterton audiences. The ladies class especially have taken a keen interest in the whole of their work. Altogether the entertainment bids fair to eclipse any previous effort that the association's physical department has presented' to the public. Seats have been freely booked at Messrs McLeod and Young's, where they.may be reserved without extra charge. We would advise tic-ket-holders to secure their seat early on Friday night, as there m every probability of a packed house.

At its meeting in August, the Wsirarapa Hospital and Charitable Aid Board decided that a district nurse be appointed for the Martinborough district . The matter came before the District Nursing Committee, which recommended that no action be taken until it could be shown eonclusively the need for a third nurse ex~<#ted. At yesterday's meeting Mr ,-felier said that the District Nursing Committee had pointed out' that the money had been collected in Masterton, and it was not thought desirable that this money should be expended in providing a nurse for the Lower Valley. Mr Ewington said he thought the action of the Nursing Committee somewhat short-sighted . He pointed out that a nurse had already been appointed to Pongaroa, which was further away than Martinborouagh. The maintenance of the District Nursing scheme would, he said, ultimately fall upon the Board. Mr A. D. McLeod urged the importance of stationing a nurse at Martinborough. He mentioned that the Martinborough Ambulance fund had been vested in the Bflard. The chairman (Mr Eton), fc&ted that the-Nursing Committee, of nvhich he was n member, would probably call for applications for the . additional nurse before next meeting.
