NORTH ISLAND FARMING

(" Wellington Post") The present year will witness a somewhat new departure ia regard to the distribution of agricultural produce in the colony. Hitherto the North Jsland has been a profitable and large customer to the Middle Island for all kinds of cereals. Grain has only been grown in very small quantities in my part of the North Island, and the people have been mainly dependent on their bouthern neigh bours for their food supply, so far as wheat and flour are concerned, but this is not likely to be much longer. There is a very large area of country in the southern portion of the North Island admirably adapted for growing gram, esptcialiy wheat. In fact nearly the whole of the Wairarapa district and the Hawke's Bay province are suitable for this puipose, and so is a large extent of country on the West Coast. This year a considerable extent of land in the Wairarapa and Hawke's Bay has been sown in wheat, and magnificent crops have resulted. For the first time, we believe, wheat wi'l this year figure as a considerable item of export from both Napier and 'Wellington. Already we learn that arrangements have been made in one quarter for the shipment Home of some 1600 s*cks of Wairarapa grown wheat of veiy superior qtialiy, and there will be a considerable surplus, available for shipment from Napier. The North Island climate is better suited to the production of high-class milling wheat than perhaps the Sotth, while the soil is undoubtly richer than that of most of the Canterbury grain-growing land. The North Island farmers should be able to compete successfully with those of the South in the production Of wheat, at least,. Whether they c<tn do so in regard to oats and barley remains to be seen, __

THE SALVATION ARMY

1 Those who sneered when they were told in these columns some six months ago that this strange expression of the dtep inborn character of the English race was one of the mosi remarkable religious phenomena of our generation, says the " Pall Mall Gazette," are in a much less contemptuous mood to-day. The foreign work of the a<my has contributed mnch to compel a change ia the attitude of its critics. It is the oLly Engiish religious body of our time that has made the impact of a religious idea felt-within a Jew years through out the world. Since Loyola founded the Society of Jesus there has been nothing Lke it in modem times. A whole library oi books upon the origin and diffusion of Christianity will teach us less of the vital realities of that great world-event in the distant past than a month's study of the actual daily w^rk of the Salvation Army. This is very strikingly illustrated by the application made by General Booth to the Home Secretary for a State grant for the carryii g ouc of its secular activeness It seems as if even the mistakes of the early church were to be repeated by its latest oS shoot. The application sheds much light upon the origin of our State churches. The colony of Victoria, which ia perhaps the most democratic community on the planets, has v3ted sums of money to the Salvation Army, and has made over to it an old detective barracks and an old law court. It has done this not because of the religious -teaching of the army, but solely because, in its rescue and reformatory work, out of the waste and debris of society these people manu factured good citizens. Therefore the Colonial Government granted them buildings and cash, in order to enable them to carry on their benevolent and useful labours. The Cape Government, we hear, is likely to follow suit, and it was perhaps only uatural that Mr Booth should have thought that it would be well if the mother country followed the example of her colonies. There is an admitted void in our social organisation which the Salvation Army has shown itself better able to fill than any other body—secular or religious. Its homes and refuges are crowded with voluntary inmates, and every night two score unfortunates pleading fora chance to earn a decent livelihood have to be thrust back in the abyss. Its food and shelter depot at the West Inaia docks has been a great success.

STARTLING EVENT IN A VILLAGE.

To the Editor of " Saturday Night." Bir. mingham, I recently came into possession of certain facts of so remarkable a nature, that I am sure you will be gted to assist in making them public. The following letters were shown to me, and I at once begged permission to copy them for the Press. '1 hey come from a highly responsible source, and may be re ceived without question. MESSAGE from George James Gost> LING, L.D.S., 8.C.5.1., Ph.C.L, Licentiate in Pharmacy and Dental Surgeon. Stowmarket, July 18, 1889, To Mr White,

The enclosed remarkable cure should, I think, be printed and circulated in Suffolk. The statement was entirely voluntary, and is genuine in fact and detail. G, J. G. "To the Proprietors of Mother Seigel's Syrup. " Gentlemen, —The following remarkabl cure was related to me by the husband. Mary Ann Spink, of Finborough, Suffolk, was for over twenty years afflicted with rheumatism and neuralgia, and although comparatively a young woman at the time she was attacked (she is now fifty), sbe was compelled, in con* sequence, to walk with twp sticks, and even then with difficulty and pain, About a year and a half ago she was advised to try Mother Seigel's Syrup, and after taking three bottles and two boxes of Seigel's operating Pills, the use of her limbs was restated, and she is now able to walk three miles to Stowmarket with ease, frequently doing the distance in three quarters of an hour; Any sufferer who d ,übts this story can fully ascertain its truthfulness by paying a visit to the village and enquiring of the villagers, who will certify to the facts. "Appended is the husband's signature to the statement •• (R. Spink.) "G. S. GOSTLING, " Ipswich Street, " Stowmarket." This is certainly a a very pitiable case, arjd the happy cure wrought by this simple but powerful remedy, must move the sympathy of all hearts in a common pleasure. This poor woman had been a cripple for twenfy of her best years; years in which she should have bad such comfort and enjoyment as life has to give. Bur, on the contrary, she was a miser able burden to herself and a source of care to her friends. Now, at an age when the rest of us are growing feeble, she, in a manner, renews her youth and almost begins a new existence. What a blessing and what a wonder tis I No one who knows her, or who reads her story, but will be thankful that the good Lord has enabled men to discover a remedy capable of bringing about a cure that reminds us—we speak it reverently—of the age of miracles. It should be explained that the most remark able cure is due to the fact that rheumatism is a disease of the blood* Indigestion, constipa tion, and dyspepsia cause the poison from the partially digested focd to enter the circulation, and the blood deposits it in the joints and muscles. This is rheumatism. Seigel's Syrup corrects the digestion, and so stops the further formation and deposit of the poison. It then removes from the system the poison already there. It is not a cure-all. It does its wonderful work entirely by its mysterious action upon the digestive organs. But wheu we remember that nine-tenths of our ailments arise in those organs, we can understand why Seigel's Syrup cures so many diseißes that appear to be so different in their nature. In ■ other words rheumatism and neuralgia are but symptons of indigestion, constipation, and dyspepsiai

AN INTERESTING LETTER FROM A VETERAN.

As this is jubilee year it tends to make one ook back and thinkof the flight of time, and n this way I am reminded that I am one of the veterans in the sale of your valuable and successful medicine. I have sold it in England and many parts of Scotland. Well do I remember the first circular you sent out some nine or ten years ag«. You had come to England from America to introduce Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup, and I was struck by a paragraph in which you used these words :— " Being a stranger in a strange land, I do not wish the people to feel that I want to take the least advantage over them. J feel thai I have a remedy that will cure" disease, and I aye so much confidence in it that I authorise my agents to refund the money if people should say that they have not benefitted byi ts use." $wUtQ»9e that you would never say tfws

unless the medicine had merit, and I applied for the agency, a step which I now look bac pon with pride and satisfaction. Ever since that time I have fouud it by f the best remedy for Indigestion and Dyspepsia I have met with, and I have sold thousands of bottles; It has never failed in any case where there were any of the following symptoms :— Nervous or sick headache, sourness of the stomach, rising of the food after eating, a sense of fulness and heaviness, dizziness, bad breath, slime and mucus on the gums and teeth, constipation, and yellowness of the eyes and skin, dull and sleepy sensations, ringing in the ears, heartburn, loss of appetite, and, i in short, wherever there are signs that the system is clogged, and the blood is out of ] order. Upon repeated enquiries, covering a , great variety of ailments, my customeis have always answered, " I am better," or "I am perfectly well." "What I have seldom or! never seen before in the case of any medicine is that people tell each other of its virtues, and those who have been cured say to the suffering: "Go and get Mother Seigel s Curative Syrup, it will make you well." Out of the hundreds of cures I will »ame one or wo that happen to come into my mind. . Two old gentlemen, whose names they would not like me to give you, had been martyrs to Indigestion for many yearsr They had tried all kinds of medicine without relief. One of them was so bad he could not bear a glass of ale. Both were advised to use the Syrup and both recovered, and were as hale and hearty as men in the prime of life. A remarkable case is that of a house painter named Jetieries, who lived at Penshurst, in Kent His business obliged him to expose himself a great deal to wind and weather, and he was seized wi'h rheumatism, and his joints soon swelled up with dropsy, and were very stiff and painful. Nothing that the doctors could do seemed to reach the seat of the trouble. It so crippled him that he could do hardly any work, and tor the whole of the winter of 1878 and '79, he had to give up and take to his bed. He bad been afflicted m this sorry way for three years, and was getting worn out and discouraged. Besides, he had spent over £13 for what he called "doctor's stuff" without the least benefit. In the Spring he heard of what Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has done for others and bought a 2s 6d bottle of me. In a few days he sent me word he was much better—before he had finished the bottle. He then sent to me for a4s 6d bottle, and as I was going that way I arried it down to him myself. On getting to his house what was my astonishment and surprise to find him weeding an onion bed. I could lardly believe my own eyes, and said :— "You ought not to be out here, man, it may be the death of you, after having being laid up all winter with rheumatism and dropsy." His reply was : " There is no danger. The weather is fine, and Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup has done for me in a few days what the doctors could not do in three years. I think I shall get well now." He kept on with the syrup, and in three weeks he was at work again, and has had no return of the trouble low tea ly ten years, ny medicine that this should be nowu all over the world. Yours faithfully, (Signed) Rupert Graham. Of Graham & Son. Holloway House, Sunbury, Middlesex, ! June 25th, 1&87. The abo c wonderful cure of Rheumatism was the result of the remarkable power of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup to cleanse the blood of the poisonous humours hat arise from Indigestion and Dyspepsia. Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup is for sale by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, Limied, 513 Farrincdon Road, Londn, Eng.o
