Since I had the operation te • Tracheotomy' (the same as ■ the late_Enif pei-or of Germany, and unlike him, > thank Jod I am still alive and getting on well) per formed at St. Bartholomew's Hospital fo aduct, or paralysis of the vocal chords, non? could possibly have had a more yiolen* cough, indeed'it was so bad at time that i* 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,—l am, sir, yours truly, ' J. HILL. MrT. Keating. Mkdioal Nora. The above speaks for itself. From ttnct inquiry it appears that the benefit from using Keating's Cough Lozenges is und«r stated. The operation was a specially severe one, and was performed by vxm specialist, Dr H. T. Butlin, of St. Bartholo-; mew's Hospital. Since the operation wm only meanß of relief is the use of these Lozenges. 3o successful are they that oh« affords immedi le benefit, although from the nature of the case the throat irritation is in tense.

E. F. WRIGHT. EsQ^ \ 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 the rate of 2 tons per acre on potatoes and carrots, and one ton on mangold land. The land had been well tilled previous tcjaying on the lime, and after spreading was well harrowed into the soil. Not>.f|bhstanding 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 WRIGHT 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 limed 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 ha,ve 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 have 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, ihe, great benefit effected, and considering that the last season h s been all against the full benefit being shewa, 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.

New Zealand Loan and Mercantile Agency Company, Christchurch, June 2nd, 1890. E. F. WRIGHT, Esq., Mount Somers, Dear Sir, —In rep?ty to your enquiries as to the results of the lime used by me at Buccleuch I cf in safely say that I am quite satisfied that it is one of the best fertilisers that ca-a 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 " OTAGQ 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 sult 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 f.oo high, and last spring we determined to give liming a trial on a larger scale han hitherto, the result of which is given in the following extract from the annual l-eport 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 3d 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, and then there is the pen nanent^ood the land will derive feom the lime. Ten acres in the paddock wer. c left unlimed, with the result that we haveno turnips there,although they had cxi ictly 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 cultivation.- The railway carriage is still too high on lime, and I hope to see it red meed." I may explain that the paddock is; situated^ near the Edendale railway station, and was considerably out of orc'ler through couch and other objection able grasses, and that we thought the bejst way of <?learing it would be to grub out the couch grass as well as we could, and t^hen 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 o # bone dust applied. The turnips Avere sown partly in drills and partly br ©adeftst, but 10 acres—an average of the land—was left unlimed. The turnip «on t.Ue drills and broad | cast are a splendid crop ; but although the 10-acre patch £*>fc 3cwt of bones there are almost no turnips. I may say, however, that we ha ye good crops in other paddocks without lime, but not equal to the limed ones. Next year I intend increasing the quantity of lime and reducing the bone dutft ; but if the cost of the lime and the railway carriage were reduced a Ijittle further we would use lime still more largely. Very few farmers can afford to expend £2 an acre for manuring their land although they may feel satisfied tl mt it avoulc? pay well to do so, and I think the Railway Commissioners might see their way to carry agricultural lime at a nominal rate, especially as the rail" way has to bring so many empty timber trucks back to Southland past Mxlburo i. Then they should also 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 sbiitl greater proportion, the bulk of which increase would be carried by the rai Iway ; and generally farmers would become more prosperous and benefit the wJ bole community. We have only to look at what the Tokomairiro Plain, was a fe>w years ago and what it is now by the application of lime. Then it grew sorrel, and Yorkshire fog— now it produces excellent crops of wheat and tnrnips and. grass, which fattens instead of starves the stock.—l am, etc., THOM. AS BRYDONE.
