KIHIKIHI.

Cbeameby Matters.—The total supply of milk to the Kihikihi creamery for the month of January last, from the twentyeight suppliers, was over 41,000 gallous. I noticed in your paragraph in the Abgus of Saturday last, re the prizes awaided by the Dairy Association for cleanliness in the artiole produced at their different creameries, and have pleasure in congratulating the Kihikihi suppliers and their popular manager, Mr_ Walktr, on the cleanliness and care which have enab'ed the latter to share half the prize money allotted. The Harvest.—Many of our farmers are still busy getting intheir grain crops, and I notice several good-looking paddocks of wheat in this district still to be cut. Several of the growers have been securing their grain during last week by having it threshed out at once instead of stacking it. There are some very promising looking paddocks of turnips about here, and feed generally is very plentiful still. Church Services,—The local branch of the Salvation Army still hold their Sunday night open air services here, and though their audiences are fairly large the namber of active adherents does not seem to increase much. On Thursday night of this week I understand that some of the Hamilton staff of the Army are to pay us a visit. On Sunday night last theie was no Bervice in any of our three churches. It seems a pity that on many Sunday evenings both the Anglican and Scotch Churches should have service, and on the following week there is service at neither. Puwiu Bridge.—The traffic bridge across the Puniu on the road to the King Country about a mile from here is at last receiving a sadly-needed overhauling and a coat of paint. I notice that a small party are encamped near the bridge, and as I understand the work is being done on the Government Cooperative labour principle, they are likely to make a long job of it. Nbw Settlers.—Mr J. Walton and bis son have lately started work on their newly - acquired property acroßS the river, and intend shortly to make their permanent rssidence there. (Own Correspondent).
