Since I had the operation se • Tracheotomy'(the same as the late Emf peror of Germany, and unlike him, thank God I am still alive and getting on well) per formed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital fo aduct, or paralysis of the vocal chords^ none could pbssibly have had a niore violent cough, indeedit was so bad at time that it quite exhausted me. The mucus also, which was very copious and hard, has been softened and I have been able to get rid of it without* difficulty,—-I am, sir, yours truly, J. HILL. Mr T. Keating. Medical Note. The above speaks for itself. From strict inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating s Cough Lozenges is under stated. The operation was a specially severe one,' and was performed oy the specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin,, of St. Bartholo mew's Hospital. Since the operation the only means of relief is the Use of these Lozenges. 30 successful ■ are they that one affords immedi te benefit,'although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is in* tense.

Mr E. F. Wright AGRICULTURAL LIME. Lauriston, May 17th, 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, Dear Sir, —I put five tons of Lime screenings on six acres of gras land after it was ploughed, and I can see to an inch where the Lime was pu on, and at the time the Lime was being spread the wind blew the fine dust over the adjoining land, and on this, as well as the properly limed land, there is a good crop, while on the non-limed there is not a single turnip.—Yours Truly, DENNIS McKENDRY. Valetta, February Bth 1890J MR E. F. WRIGHT, Dear Sir, —In answer to enquiries re 6 acres limed with 6 tons Lime,l am very well satisfied with result. In spite of heavy winds, which blew a lot of it away shortly after I put it on, and although there is not much difference in the wheat, the grass, which was sown down at rolling, shows a very marked difference against that which was not limed, both in the growth and the thickness, and it is my intention to do some more this autumn. Yours Truly, JOHN BOYLE. Longbeach, March 14th, 1890. MR E. F. WRICHT, Dear Sir, —For two years now I have carried on experiments; in liming the land for fruit trees, and I am thoroughly satisfied with the results— making the trees healthier the fruit larger and keeping the blight in check. Yours Truly, . F. STANDISH. Longbeach, May 17th, 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, Dear Sir,—l am very satisfied with the result of the Lime on the ground I had in potatoes. The crop ( was much better this year, when it was potatoes after potatoes, than it was the previous year, when it was potatoes after grass, and the quality much superior.—Yours truly, 8 HUGH CULLEN. W&kanui, May 20th, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT. Esq., j Dear Sir, —I have pleasure in informing you that the most satisfac tory results have been obtained from the use of lime supplied by you last spring. The lime was applied as a top dressing on land intended for roots at ithe rate of 2 tons per acre on potatoes and carrots, and one ton on mangold land. The land had been well tilled previous to laying on the lime, and after spreading was well harrowed into the soil. Notwithstanding the fact that the season was most unfavorable for all root crops, I have had a very fair crop; more especially in the case of potatoes and carrots, which, in quality, are the best I have grown since coming to the country. I am satisfied that any farmer having a little spare cash could not find a better investment for it than giving his paddock a dressing with lime. I intend this season to try the effect on grass land and also on turnips. I Remain Yours Sincerely, GEO. W. LEADLEY. Mount Somers, May 7th, 1890. MR WRIG Sir, —I uld not get anything to grow on my bit of ground,so I was determined to try your lime last winter and I gave it a good dose. I can now grow plenty of vegetables of all kinds. I planted a piece of ground 30ft by 40ft with potatoes and I got 6 bags of round potatoes out of it, and, strange to say there was not a weed of any sort to be seen. I planted another piece of ground which was not limeel with potatoes and they were not worth digging and the ground full of weeds and sorrel, so I recommend your lime highly for growing good crops. Yours truly, ROBERT JONES. Toi Toi, Longbeach, May 24th 1890. MR E. F. WRIGHT, Dear Sir, —I have been trying to grow potatoes for the last 8 years and I never could get more than 4 to 5 tons to the acre. Last season I was nduced to try lime,and hay© got more than double what I have got in previous years. Yours truly, R. B. LUSCOMBE, Ashburton Racing Club, May 31st, 1890, E. F. WRIGHT, Esq., Dear Sir, —I am directed by my Committee to inform you of the result of the experimental use of your agricultural lime on the grass of the Ashburton Racecourse. A part of the racing track, part of the lawn and saddling paddock,were last season top dressed with lime at the rate of 2 tons to the acre. The parts so dressed now show a far superior turf to the undressed parts of the course, the sward being far closer and better grown Anyone wishing to see the effects of liming may see at a glance,on a visit to the course, ohe great benefit effected, and considering that the last season h s been all against the full benefit being shewn, the result is very marked. Yours faithfully, G. BISSETT, Sec. Styx Apple Company, Christchurch, May 24th, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT, Esq., Mount Somers, Dear Sir, I have pleasure in stating that our Orchard has derived marked benefit from the dressing of Mount Somers Lime, which it received last year. I shall require some more for a fresh plantation which we are mak ing in the course of the winter. • Yours faithfully, F. WILDING, Managing Director. New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Christchurch, June 2nd, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT, Esq.., "Mount Somers, i Dear Sir, In reply to your enquiries as to the results of the lime •used by me at Buccleuch I can -safely say that I am quite satisfied that it is one of the best fertilisers that can be used. The grass land was greatly improved by it. Last year I dressed some' land that had been broken up for turnips, un fortunately the paddock suffered severely from the heavy nor-westers, so that I cannot say how it might have acted. lam determined to use it more exten sively this year,and hope you will be able to supply me with from 60 to 100 tons.-Yours faithfully, H. T. WINTER. LIME AS A MANURE FOR TURNIPS. TO THE EDITOR " OTAGO DAILY TIMES. Sir, —Lime is well-known to the farmer as being beneficial for pasture land and for grain crops, but it is not often applied to turnips, and as the re- I suit has been very successful, I have much pleasure in giving farmers the benefit of the experiment. I have had a strong impression for many years that much of the land south of Dunedin, and especially in. Southland, would benefit by the use of lime, and we tried it several times on Edendale with satisfactory results for grass and oats, but the price of the lime and the railway carriage made the use of it pro hibitory. Recently, however, both have been considerably reduced, although still too high, and last spring -we determined to give liming a trial on a larger S'jale than hitherto, the result of which is given in the following extract from the annual report of our Edendale manager :— " Last year we limed 200 acres at a cost of £460 14s 6d. Lime cost £221 3s 4d, railage £163 13s lid, carting and spreading £75 13s 3d, clearing couch grass £36 13s '&d extra. This seems a heavy outlay, but there is such a magnificent crop of turnips after the lime that the cost will be repaid twice over this year, an.d then there is the permanent good the land will derive from the lime. Ten a<eres in the paddock were left unlimed, with the result that we have no turnips there,althougli they had exactly the same labor, seed and bone dust. The crop after the lime is worth £5 an acre, and if we had used no lime it would not have paid the cost of the c ultivation. The railway carriage is still too high on lime, and I hope to see it reduced." I may explain that the paddock: is situated near the Edendale railway station, and was considerably out of order through couch and other objection able grasses, and that we thought, the best way of clearing it would be to grub out the couch grass as well as we -could, and then lime and manure the ground well so as to produce a good crop of turnips, Accordingly the ground was well worked, and 2 tons of lime and 3 cwt of bone dust applied. The turnips were sown partly in drills and partly broadcast, but 10 acres—an average of the land—was left unlimed. The turnips on the drills and broad cast are a splendid crop ; but although the 10-acre patch got 3cwt of bones there are almost no turnips. 1 may say, however, that we have good crops in other paddocks without lime, but not equ.al to the limed ones. Next year I intend increasing the quantity of lime and i-educing the bone dust; but if the cost of the lime and the railway carriage wer>e reduced a little further we would use lime still more largely. Very few farmers can afford to expend £2 an acre for manuring their land altihough they may feel satisfied that it would pay well to do so, and I think the B.ailway Commissioners might see their way to carry agricultural lime at a norn inal rate, especially as the railway has to bring so many empty timber trucks back to Southland pa st Milburn. Then they should al,so bear in mind that the use of lime increases the crops by 15 to 20 bushels an acre, and the feeding capacity of turnips and grass in still greater proportion, the bulk of which increase would be carried by the railway ; and generally farmers would become more* prosperous and benefit the whole community. We have only to look at what t;he Tokomairiro Plain was a few years ago and what it is now by the applicatioi lof lime. Then it grew sorrel and Yorkshire fog now it produces excellent crops of wheat and turnips and grass, which fattens instead of starves the stocl r.—l am, etc., THOMAS BRYDONE.
