ENSILAGE PRESS

The Haitingß correspondent of a Napier eontexsporary famishes the following : — A trial of Blont's patent sctew and lever •D»llage preeß took place to-day at. Flax mere by pertniseion of Oaptain Ruesell, There were present a good many gentle men interested m enallage, and several others of oar leading agriculturists and Hheep- farmers would have attended, but were unavoidably prevented. The modus optrandi, which ia beautifully simple was aa follows : — Freeh cut rye gross was made into a cylindrical ataok 16ft In diameter and 12ft high. Four heavy planks were then laid on top of the stack and a cross-beam was laid' acrosß them. Pressure wbb applied to this crossi beam by moans of iron links, the upper ends of which were connected to the projecting ends of the beam, the lower enda canning stirrups through which were pa6Bed the levers (one at each end of tho stack), the fulcra of which consisted of staples fixed to a strong beam termed " the fulcrnm team," embedded m the ground under the stack. The free ends of these levers carried box°a to contain weights for weighing the press. Screws worked by haudwheels and stirrups to regulate the pressure «s the stack sub ■ldecl. The application of the apparatus took six men aboot twenty mlnnteß, As they were oa the ground they all helped, J bat lam informed the beams and levers can be applied by three men. After a time, as the staoks subsides, more grata will be added, bo that the full weight of the stack of ensilage wilt be 50 tons, or about four times the weight of the hay whioh could be made from the same quantity of grasß. It la needless to enlarge upon the advantage of an inven tion which by Its simplicity and c fficlenoy plases ensilage within the reach of farmers of moderate means. Theoost of the ironwork and timber for a 16ft stack to eomaln 50 t^na is only about £15, and once bought the apparatas lasts fur years. The general opinion expressed on the ground confirmed the favorable English verdiot on the press. It certainly exhibits m s new form >( the powers cf the Press," and also exemplifies the advantage of " patting on the screw:"

We clip the following important testimonial from the •• Illawarra Mercurry " (N.S.W.) on ihe 30th March. It needß no comment:— •' Mr John Loveday, of the Bulli Mountain, writes to ub that after Buffering for four years with aoute gravel, he has experienced almost complete relief by using Sander and Sons' Euoalypti Extract. He says seeing the said Extraot advertised m the 'Illawarra Mercury,' his intense suffering induced him to obtain a bottle of the medicine from Mr Hosking, chemist, of this town, and that the nee of it gave him grea< relief at once He states that between the 10th March instant, when he obtained the first bottle of the extraot, and on the 19th, the QSe of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he bad been a Stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes aleo that he has found the Eucalypti Extraot ft cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests ns to publish this information through the 'Mercury. 1 We have muoh pleasure m complying with Mr Loved&y's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no objeot m view other than a ?iure desire to benefit suffering humanity."

WHY AM I SO MISERABLE ?

So weak and languid ? Why such heart burns and pains m the stomach, such acidity, and such an unpleasant taste m the mouth ? Why at times such a gnawing appetite, and then again such disrelish for food ? Why is tht mind so frequently irritable, desponding, melancholy and dejected ? Why does one often feel under the apprehension of some imaginary danger, and start at any unex pected noise, becoming agitated as though some great calamity was impending ? Wh -t is the meaning of these dull, sick headaches ; these violent palpitations of the heart, this feverish restlessness, these night sweats j this disturbed and dreamy sleep, which brings no refreshing rest, but only moanings and xnutterings, and lhe horrors of the nightmare? The answer is : These are but the symptoms of Indigestion or Dyspepsia— the beginning and the forerunner of almost every other human disease. Indigestion is a weakness or want of power of the digestive fluids of the Stomach to conver. the food into healthy matter for the proper nourishment of ihe body. It is caused most frequently by the xrregnlarity of diet, or improper food, want of healthy exercise and pure outdoor air. It may be induced by mental distress — the shot kof some great calamity. It may be, and often is, aggravated and intensified, i( not originally brought on, by exhaustioa from intense mental application, of physical over work, domes ie troubles, anxiety m business, Such a medicine is happily at hand. Clever m the history of medical discoveries, evi denced by a d' zen years' thorough test, has there been found a remedy for Indigestion so speedy, so sure, and so surprising m its results as Seigel's Curative Syrup, but to-day it is a standard remedy frr ti at almo-t universal affliction m tve y civilised country m Europe, Asia, Africa and, America. Public testimonials and private letters from military officers, bankers, merchant, ship captains, mechanics, farmeEfc and their wive- and daughters, alike confinrrlts curative powers.

NEARLY RAISED HIM FROM THE GRAVE.

Swiss Cottage, Walton-on-the-Nazc, August 27th, 18S6. A. J. White, Limited. Dear Sirs, — If a testimonial is of any use te you respecting the remarkable cure I have deiived by taking your •• fee'icel's Syrup," you are at liberty to make any public use of this you may deem best. For upwards of twelve years I have suffered from ixtreme Nervous Debility and Ga.,t:ic Catarrh which reduced me so that I was totally unable to do any business, and caused great prostration and weakness. About three years ago I had the advice ol several members of the medical faculty, and under their tieatment derived little or no good. Being in town some ten mtnths ago, I was advised to try your Curativ Sy.up, and purchased a bottle. I had not taken many doses before I began to feel a fresh man. I could walk with ense, while before I had hard work to carry one leg bef Te the other. My streng h gradually increased and rry eyesight got better, which before i frequently lost, owing to the malady arising from a sluggish liver, often in bed for several days with piles, and could ha:d'y move. lam thankful to you and to God for nearly raising me from the grave, for it was nothing but your Seigcl's t-yrup that has restored me to robust health.— Yours faith fuiljV A.
