ANOTHER SHEEP-SHEARING MACHINE.

A rival to the Woleeley sheep shearing machine is to be shortly introduced into Australia. It is a French invention which has been purchased by Messrs Synn t Bros, , of Melbourne. The inventor "has \u25a0pent several years In perfecting the machine, avd hss expended lorge tnms m experiments. The chief points ahout the machine are said to be that it wil shear close to the Bkia without otitt ng the •nimal ; that it will shear evenly and rnor-< rapidly than by hind ; that it does not require to be worked by an expert, aa it can be Deed by anyone strong enough to tarn a sheep ; ih»t it is very gimp's m construction, strong, and so cheap thai farmers as well as eqaatlers will be ab e to avail themaelveß of it. The ti oe it takes to clip an ordinary sheep is from fonr to five minntes. As anon as the machine arrives Messrs Synnot Bros, will giv« public exhibitors — 'Otaao Dai:y Titneß.'

AN INDUSTRIAL CITY WITHOUT DRINK.

[From the " Mnvile Daily Bulletin "]

The fnlnefs of time for a complete T< mperance victory for Milville came m 1875 when the iatt effort to waga a war m behalf of license failed most in glorionsly. When the election was over, the oonncil stood seven to two against license. By following up the victory at the polls with legal vlgil-mce, M lville has been kept reasonably tree from the rum shop, both legal and illegal.

The Temperance policy of Milville has been blessed with good results— moral, materUl, and mental. The abolition of the grog shop was followed by the mental emancipation of the city's laboring men. The downfall of the groggery was fol lowed by the upbuilding of the churcb, and the oity has been blessed morally by the change. la fact, the laboring men of Milville stand above a like number of their brethren, m the matter of lntulli geoce, do matter where found.

To day two-thirds of the male adult employe's of WhitaJ, Tatham and 00. own the houses m which they reside, and one half of all the laborers of this manufactur ing city go home at night to bonaee all their own. Upwards of £800 are paid Into the building and loan associations of the city erery month by our laboring men, which represents only a part of the accu mulated eaviDga ef MiMlle'a toilers. "When ram was king of the city, nearly •11 the laboriDg men were tenanta at will, and they did not have the iaxurious homes they now eDj'iy, and the account of their savings could have been kept at the ends of their fiogers. The buildings erected In the city this year represent more than £20.000 m Ttloe ; under the license system the annual output for improvements of this kind would not reach £10,000. When Mihllle was supporting four licensed hotels, and ten or a dozsn beer saloons her revenue from liquor licenses did not exceed £140 or £160 per annum. The revenue derived from the increased valuation of property which has occurred to the city since the repudiation of license amotmte to ten times as much as was ever derived from all the rum shops of the oltf. Two of the hotels, which aged to keep open doors and open bars In this city, are now occupied as temperance hotels or boarding houses* Of the other two, one has been cut up into stores, and the other is used as a dwelling. The travelling ptibiio is better provided for than la the license days, and it has been demonstrated that m UV at small cities and towns from one to a doz*n taverns exist beyond the needs of the public rervloe, and their proprietors grow fat from eel liner rum. Soon Is the condition of things m MHville that the proprietress of the leading hotel lo the city says that she would uot have tne license if it cost nothing, «nd thiß when it was not very long ngo when the keeping of a temperance hotel was con sidered snob a dubious undertaking th*t a public subscription was made, to main tain such an institution, and so get rid of the licensed tavern. •

After a lapse of a dcz>n ye^rs of prnc tlcslly applied looal prohibition, the measure ie to-day ao popular aa to scarcely poßsess bd opponent, aad there is not » man ia the city who would have the temerity to ran for any office as a license candidate. Prohibition In thia city prohibits, and what ia more, it is a moral, Intellectual, and financial blessing to the labouring man, whose best life and pros perlty began when ruin tkops left the town.— "New Zialand AUanca Pam phlet."

THE HESSIAN FLY.

i THE 1 >B\CUO-OUuB The Minister of Lands his received a letter from Sargeant-Maj t Nelly, nf Auckland, suggesting that t,he Haoslan fly should be killed with tobacco amnkn. as m done In some p&rta of India. H<» eta'os that when he was at Delhi rnir.y ye*™ ago thw natives naed to bum tub coo near the standing wheat affictod hy the peu, and m a few nvuntea oTory fly was dead. A FLY-BFS SUNG WHBAT. Professor Hillgard, of th- Experimental Station, University of CtUfornia, c'aiois for s variety of wheat named the Mesaoyeen, that It ia pro<.f against attacks of the Heaalan fly. On tha poor soil of , his station, he eaya, thia wheat laat harvest yielded 83 bushels to the aero, while non reelstfng wheats were de*troyacl or "re dcoad to the fraction of a crop" by the fl .'. Two other resisting eort3, the A*lanM t»nd \u2666he Voio, yielded 27 and 20 bu hela per acre reepeotive'y. These t'-rae varieties are described as " solid pt^mm^d," and originally dark, hard whoat». but faßf. becoming white and starchy without loa tng, ao far, their restating qualities.

Times" of 2;th of October, 1873; and* thousands of others can testify to wonderful, speedy, and almost miraculous Cures he has effected, particularly many very valuable Mitirc Horses restored to good health, and thousands of pounds saved to the owners. In acJ'iiowlede;ement of the great patronage he has received, Mr Slesinger, V.S., is now oftering to the publ c 'lie very best of medicines for the cure of different diseases of daily occurrence, which any >nc can understand, at nominal prices, as per list hereunto aonexed. Mr Slesinger has been specially appointed Veterinary Surgeon to their Excellenc es Sir Hercules Robinson and Sir James Ferguson ; and patronised by His Exce'lency the Marquis of Normanby (ex-Governor of Victoria) ; the Hon J. Macandrew, lale Superintendent of the Piovince of Otago; the Hon Richard Oliver ; the ex-Speaker of the General Assembly (>ir F. r>. Bell) ; the lion W. '*. Reynolds; the Hon George M'Lean; J. L.

Every man can be his own Doctor by using Slesinger's preparations, as detailed below : — FOR HORSES. The Colic, or Gripe Drink. — Horses are very liable to Colic or Gripe, and, if neglected, this complaint mny m a lew hours terminate m inflammation, strangulation, tympanitis, and death. This Colic Draught will give rplief m less than two hours, and often within ten irinutes. The Embrocation. — For the treatment ol Cuts, Wounds, Bruises from Saddle, Girths, or Harness, Sore Shoulders. Strains, Sprains, Rheumatism, Windgalls, Swellings, etc. If either of these injuries or complaints be ne- glected for a few hours, they may take weeks to cure. The Condition Powders. — For restoring and keep : ng the Horse m good health, relieving Hide-bound, urfeit, Mange, Grease, and Skin Eruptions, correcting a diseased state of the Stomach, Bowels, Kidneys, Bladder, Liver, etc. The Worm Powders. — The Horse is very subject to Worms, frequently unsuspected by the owner. Thousands of horses die for the want of these Powders, and the owner is none the wiser fo>- it ; and, unless a. post mortem examination is made, does not know that his horse suffered from these replies. On all occasions, when the animal is po^r, m low condition, hide-bound, or occasionally passing a worm, give one of these Powders night and morning, as directed on each tin. The Blister Ointment is superior to any other. After v ing it, the ha'r returns to its natural color, and, unlike any other, no blemish is left. The Hoof Oils. — T^e chief caircof Lame- ness m Horses is some injury or defect m the Foot, which may cause Inflammation of the Font, and bring on other diseases, such as inflammation of the Bowels, Kidneys, Lunga, etc. These Oils, if used m time, will prevent or cv c brittle Hoofs, Saidcracks, Contrac- tion, Quittor, Canker, Corns, Thrush or Frush, arrow Heels, Iloof-bound, Navicular Joint Disease, etc., all of which the Horse is su'ject to, and is liable to fall and endanger the life of his rid', r. This may be avoided uy usng this Oil daily, or two or three times a week. The Grease Ointment. — For the cure of Greafe, Crown S^abp, Rat-tail, Mallenders and Sallenders, or any Skin Eruption. DOG MEDICINES. The Distemper Powders are a Perfect Cure, and may also be given ; n other ailments. The Mange Ointment.— May be used for the Mange or any otht inflammatory Diseases of the Skin m f'e 1\ \u25a0 ' or Dog It maybe mixed with lour time its quantity of Neats- oot Oil, being easier of application. 1"A11 the Medicines a c sold by F.

MOTHER SEIGEL'S OPERATING PILLS, For Constipation, Sluggish. Liver, &c. TTNLIKE many kinds of cathartic U medicines, do not make you feel . worse before you feel better. Their ' operation, is gentle, but thorough, and unattended with disagreable effects, such as nausea, griping pains, &c. Seigel's Operating Pills are tha best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them m a healthy condition. The best remedy extant for tho bano of out lives — constipation and sluggish liver. These Pills prevent fevers and all kinds of sickness by removing all poisonous matter from the bowels They operate briskly, yet mildly with out any pain. If you take a severe cold, and are threatened with a fever, with pains m the head, back, and limbs, one or two doses of Seigel'S Operating Pills will break up the cold and prevent the fever. A coated tongue, with a brackish taste, is caused by foul matter m the stomach. A few doses of Seigel'S Operating Pillß will cleanse the tomach, remove the bad ta6te, and re- store the appetite, and with it bring 1 good health. Oftent ; mes disease, or partially de- cayed food, causes sickness, nausea and diarrhoea. If the bowels aro cleansed from this impurity with a dose of Seigel'S Operating Pills these disagreeable effects will vanish, and good health will result, Seigel'S Operating Pills prevent ill-effects from excess m eating or drinking. A good dose at bedtime renders a person fit for business m the morning. These Pills, being sugar-coated, are pleasant to take. The disagreeable taste common to most pills is obviated.
