NOTES.

In our Notes of last Saturday we commented upon the havoc wrought among cherry, pear, and plum trees by that loathsome little creature the tree leech, and indicated the desirableness of information as to how to check the ravages of this pest of the orchardist. We are now informed that the leech does not ascend to the branches from the ground, and hence that no applica- | tion to the trunks of the trees would prevent its attacking the leaves. The leech is said to be hatched on the leaf from the egg of an insect known as the sawfly — hence it would seem that the only way of dealing- with it is by the application of some dressing to the leaf itself. A solution of hellebore is said to be the best remedy, giving . the trees a thorough sprinkling with it from top to bottom. In order to this an ordinary rose or perforated nozzle does not work satisfactorily, as the liquid needs to be spread thoroughly, so as to be finely divided, and to fall over a wide area. A local invention — the. spreader patented by Mr H. Fried lander's gardener, and known as lf Ashton's Patent"— seems to answer the purpose admirably, water driven through this being divided into fine spray over a large radius. It is exactly what is wanted for dressing trees for the destruction of the leech, or as a protection against its attacks, for it is said that it the hellebore solu tion be applied to the leaves before the leech makes its appearance its ravages will be wholly prevented, as the helle bore imparts a bitter taste to the leaves which deters the insect from feeding upon them.

While referring to matters entomolo gical — though it will be no news to our readers to say that the humble bee is now distributed throughout the whole district — it may be interesting to note that evidence is now forth coming of the practical results of its acclimatisation. There is before us as we write a head of red clover, taken from a paddock close to Ashburton, which is lull of seed, and we are assured that it is a fair sample of the whole field. The problem of growing our own red clover seed is, therefore, satisfactorily solved, and for this we have to thank the humble bees and their original introducer — who, it we mistake not, was Mr Herbert Belfield, of Timatu. Fot humble as these insects are, m reality as well, as m name, they are able to accomplish what mffn with all his ingenuity can devise no plan to effect, viz., the fructification of the millions of fragrant blossoms which render a red clover field such a delight to the sense of smell as well as to the sense of sight, and there is no example m the whole history of accli matisation of a more pronounced and entirely satisfactory success than that of the introduction and establishment of the humble bee m New Zealand.

Another item of interest m connec tion with acclimatisation is supplied by the information that our friends at Oamaru are m a fair way of adding to the attractions of their surroundings the charms of the song of that sweetest of all songsters the nightingale, and the bright trill of that chief favorite of all English children, the robin redbreast. Some weeks ago that enthusiastic bird fancier, Mr Charles Bills, succeeded m importing a considerable number of both these birds, m excellent health, and we are glad to see that Mr John McLean has had a couple of pairs of each liberated at Redcastle, where we hope they will increase and multiply. We should like, however, to hear of a consignment finding its way to Ash burton, and should be glad to join m a subscription to raise a few pounds for the purpose. We have already the song of the skylark and of the black bird, but we should gain an added charm to life m our district if when the sliades of evening fall our shrub beries and plantations were resonant with the exquisite music of the nightingale. Why should the com mittee of our local Acclimatisation Society turn their attention to fish only ? Here is a splendid chance to do something which would esrn for them the general thanks of the public, and we are sure that if only the matter were taken up the necessary sum could very quickly be raised. For, be it remembered, that m the case of the nightingale there would be no per contta to its charms m the shape of a loss of fruit, grain, or seeds, as it is trictly insectivorous, and as regards Master Robin, the only toll he will take will be a little small fruit, of which we have abundance and to spare.

TO change the subject — it may perhaps sounu suincw..at alarming to the good folk of Ashburton town and county to be told that just now there are two or three very active individuals moving about amongst them with the special object of taking their lives. It is, how ever, happily not necessary to look to the fastenings of windows and doors, to sharpen swords, or to load revolvers or blunderbusses, the individuals referred to being by no means bloodthirsty either m appearance or intention, but simply canvassing m the interests of the Government, the Equitable, the New York, and other Insurance Associations. All the offices mentioned are fortunately good ones, and m insuring m either the prudent man can scarcely go wrong. We wish all the canvassers the greatest possible success, as if only all who can afford it would insure against death and old age there j would be much less suffering and privation m the world than there is to-day.

Attention is very properly being called to the great need that exists m the colony for some institution for the care of the indigent blind, and for the education of blind children. It is heartily to be hoped that the subject will be warmly taken up, and that this one great hiatus m the list of our charitable institutions will ere long be filled by the founding of a Blind Asylum and a school for blind chil dren. Apropos to the latter we find the following m the Auckland Evening Bell of the 21st inst : — Some time since, at a meeting of ministers oi various denominations, the subject of the formation of a school for teaching the blind was discussed, and the Revs R. Bavin and T. Spurgeon undertook to make enquiries with reference to the matter, and to ascertain, if possible, the number of blind persons m the colony, and also to enquire from the

Government whether they would be disposed to assist'in the founding af a proper school for bind children. Nothing so far has transpired as to the action of these gentlemen, but we learn that a competent teacher of the blind has recently arrived m Auckland from Australia, and that he proposes opening a school for the teaching of his fellow sufferers m this colony. He is also blind himself. Would this not be an excellent opportunity for the establishment of such a useful and beneficial branch of education ? At present there is not a school m the colony for blind children, although nearly every other branch of education is undertaken by the State.

THE SIZE OF JERSEY COWS.

The following iB taken from a paraph- { let entitled " Numerona facta about Jersey Oat tie," published by the American Jersey Cattle Club : "An objection ta Jerseys often heard from persons not well ac quainted with the breed Is that the cowb are too small to suit farmers gener* rally. While it is true that there are many email Jerseyj, it is also true thai there are many of good Biza ; and any breeder o»n, with a little effort, build op a herd large enough for any dairy pur poses. It is by no means unusual for Jersey cows to weigh over one thousand pounds when m working order. Mr Burnett states that the average weight of the entire milking herd at Deer foot Farm is about 1000 lb. In other cases where breeders have given special attention to size the average weight of herds is as great. Mr 0. E. Brown, of Nova Scotia, who owns Nabrilza (No £820), states that her usual weight ia 1500 lb., and she has weighed 1650 lb. at times. Her dam, Branltza 5383, was bought by Mr Brown m May 1876, when m very low condition although she had a good frame and then weighed 700 lb She had been half starved all her life. She was then put on a generous diet, served m Juce. 1876, and until March, 1877, when Nabri z% was dropped, the dam wae steadily gair>— ing. In November, 1877, Braaitza weighed 1120 lb., m fair order— a gain of 330 lb. man adult cow. This gain while breeding seems to have given an impetus to the calf. Nabrifz) weighed 1871 b. when two months old, 595 lb. at eight months, 1055 at twenty months, 1290 lb. at three years, and 1540 at four years of age. An own sister of this cow habitually weighs 1050 , and a eon two years old ffeighed 12001 b,"

MANAGEMENT OF BREEDING EWES,

I would draw attention (says " A Prac tical Farmer " m I he Agricultural Gazette) to the important Buhj-ct of the treatment of breeding owes during the period of geatatioo. -Any abuse to the animal at this time means a very Berious los* to the owinr. Among the numerous modes of abuse we note : 1. Improper dieting. 2. Ir sufficient food. 3. Want of regular exercise. 4. Too much crowding and knocking about when cloae to lambing. 5. Over-feeding before lambing. 6 Dogging or startling ewes by a care less tliepherd. As lambing approaches you want care fully to avoid too high condition, and yet to goard against poverty. If I think my ewea too fleshy, I rather stint them than ' otherwise for about a week before lamb ing. To any which are undoubtedly too fat, I give a dese of opening medicine, may be three days before we < xpect them to lamb : it reduces the liability to inflam mation and straining. After the ewe has quite recovered from the effects of lamb ing and is uut of danger, I believe the better you feed the better results you will have m the lamb. One great difficulty I had with my thepherd at fir 4 was to keep him from overfeeding the ewe from the time she had recovered frcm what 1 could call the labor No sooner had ehe satis fied herself with her lamb than he began to give her all manner of good things. This is a great error (and my herd saw It). Until six or seven d»y» are over I don't think danger is paßt. Yoa don't want a bursting udder for two ntwly-born lambs, muohlesa for cne ; you only canso uneasi ness to the ewe, and If you don't hand milk m such a case the ewe may go m the wrong direction. Ewes treated on this system will drop the finest of lambs, big and strong and healthy, a good oolor full of firm fleeh, able to stand exposure aJmcßt at onoe — you will have no little white oripples and no nurßing to do, nor warmlcg at the fire ; thatiß, comparatively speaking, ycuc ewea will gtt over this trouble easily, and your skin buyer will not find hla presence required as much aa when he visited you m the four-course days.

AGRICULTURAL PARTNERSHIP.

It is not generally known m other coun tries that m Prance what is teimed the 11 metayage " system is very extensively practiced m farming. Metayage, it may be aa we'l to mention, is a system of agri cultural partnership. The landowner furnishes the land, the tenant supplies the labor," and the prrfitn are tqmlly shared. The metaire varieß m extent from 60 up to 150 or m-TH ajrea. We find m the Deparimens <f the Lundt* 27,484 metairie ; m the Allier, 11,632 ; m the Gb-cnde. 11,668 ; m the Olarante, 10,776 ; m the Lot. 10,000 ; m tho Haute Vlonoe, 8337 ; m the Cantol, 2292 ; and so on, uietaj oge prevailing all over France. Tenant farming also ia pursued, and we find at Solne-st-Marno, Brittary, and elsewhere, the two systems m operation side by side. In the Bonohei dv Ehone, for instance, we find 1700 tnotalrieo and 9000 farms let on leaso precisely as m England. la the Tarn we find 170.) tenant farmers and 9300 ffietayages. In a recent official report on metaynge m the Limousin it is announced that m 3CO metairias the profits had more than doubled within twontyfivo years. The metayer m timo becomes a proprietor, and is regarded m a moßt valuable agent In developing and improving agriculture m Franca. It will be seen, therefore, that ! nothing can be farther from the truth than to suppose the French territory cut up into tiny parcels of land, each th pro perty of a peasant m hardly better cane than his pre-Revolutionary anceßtn- In the Auvergne, a landlord has m any case to furnish his farm. By that tho Btook both live and dead, belong to him. Take for instance, a farm let at £500 annually. The farmer m tiking poßeasion has every, thing require, except his personal furnl tare to run hio farm, receiving live and dead stock, which is estimated by two and sometimes three exports. Therefore he has nothing to lay out. He simply giveß the landlord, what fa terrard a " cautlon menfc," (which means bail for the first rent) ; if m cash he is allowed 4 per cent. Interest. When he leaves the farm ho hands over to tho landlord the same value he reoeived.

Hollowat's Pills and Ointment. — The attention of all sufferers is drawn to these well-known remedies, for they possess con spicuous advantages as a safe and reliable aid m all those emergencies to which travellers, emigrants and sailors are so especially liable. They have been largely patronized by way farers by land and sea, and, m faot, by all classes of the community, to their very great advantage. The Pills are beyond all doubt one of the .most effective remedies ever dis covered for oasea of obstinate constipation, confirmed indigestion and colic, complaints whioh are engendered by exposure and ir regular feeding. The Ointment will be found of the very greatest Bervice m oases of piles, abscesses, erysipelas, and all kinds of local ulcerations. 2 1

We have been a Firm of Analytical Chemists for many, many years and have In the long oourse of this time manufactured certain Medicines that being based on solentLho formula and abaolnte care and precision m manufacture, have enjoyed a popularity far m advance of any other Pharmaceuti- cal Preparations of the day. How suc- cessful we have been m this, Is only to note the extraordinary amount of the sales of our Haydook s New Liver Pill. We have the pleasure to otate that we have sold 28,089 Vials of Dr Haydook'a New Liver Pills. The reason of this de- mand Is because we find In Haydook' New Liver Pills a wonderful, and extra ordinary combination of concentrated medioine. The Victories of Science — Eleotrlo Telegraphs, Steam and Printing — revolutionised the whole system [of the globe, and made mankind wiser and bet- ter. (So, although there are countless Pills used for diseason and claiming much as to their merit, the remarkable dis- oovery of Dr Haydook has eclipsed them all, and has founded a New Medical Sys- tem. The Doototß, whose vast doses of four or five pills enfeeble the stomach and paralyxe the bowels, must give way to the man who restores health and appetite with ot.d or two of his extraordinary Vegetable Pllla. One or two of Dr Hay- dock's New Liver Pills suffices to place the stomach m perfeot order creates an appetite, and renders the spirit light and buoyant.
