We (Napier ' Telegraph') maintain that prohibition will lead to the illicit sale of alcohol. Where there is a demand there will be a supply, and if people cannot get beer lawfully they will get it unlawfully. To make an act of daily life a crime which is in reality no sin either against the law of God or the natural law of man, is. to oreate criminals, which is as wicked i n legislation as the enticer to evil is in society,

It haß now become an acknowledged fact that purposes the very best cattle that can bo procured are Hiobp of tho pure-bred Ayrshire blood. Experience has proved that as milkers the Ayrshire oJt'! & «? ' ff entynfive per cent better than any other breed—they are hardier in constitution, heavier milkers by weight, compared with nnyother class, and do better on rough land than any of the ordinary style of milch cows. As a matter of fact three Ayrshire cows cau be kept sn land that would starve two heavy cows of the usual fcypa, apd even then return £1 per head more, per annum, in milk.. In small farming nothing is. so profitable, if properly worked, as dairying, and thorefore we have much pleasure in drawing the attention of the farmers in this district to an announcement from Messrs Oqnjngj ham, Badham and Go., in another column, with reference; to the sale on Tuesday and Wednesday next, of Mr fl,D.Crawford's (of Miramar)herd of Ayrshire Btook. It js acknowledged that these cattle'are from pure-bred Ayrshire blood of nearly every strain in the South Island, and it is undoubtedly' the.very best herd in this island of this particular breed. Mr Crawford has made dairying a Btudy for years past, and' his 'firmlyrooted conviction is, that nothing approaches these beautiful little Ayrshire cows as milkers, au opinion which, judging from results, we nro inclined to endorse, ■ ~■■. ■ . <.,';:.:.
