ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS
Replyitig to our correspondent G, Ardenet (Otorohanga). R. Ammer says: "G. Ardener may be trying to be funny, or he may be like the English yokel confronted with the machine that talks and sings. ‘I knows what and ’ears what I ‘ears, but you can’t take a rise out of I.’ For the benefit of all G, "Ardeners, and scoffers generally, I can say. that I have seen a house built of earth from the site on which it stood, and there was sufficient left to build up a terrace 18 inches ‘high around the building. Of course, where there not sufficient earth to build with, one would not build. in that medium. We do not, and cannot, use what we don’t have; whether it is mud, or brains."
