THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits .arising, from Membership of over n thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al! middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society there holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his insggjnient, but proprietary division of profits which ho would not receive from any otheroS gnnisation. It has been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to IRRIGATION". . . • . And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and planted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virgin land, specially adapted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian Governments concerned for Government concessions from time to time of lands, as the Society's resources admit of colonising same.

He also used to drive Ber lin's full brother, Mambrino Dudley; and I Mr Woodruff says m his book on trotting, " If evei- there was a horse which could trot a mile m 2 minutes, Mambrino Dudley could, before seeing so much stud duty.

Flying Scud was a dark bay mare, bred m Victoria, by Mr J. Harper m 1865, and was got by Fisherman. Tim Whiffler was scarcely ever beaten, and has won as many cups and handicaps as any other horse m England. He won the Chester Cup, and ran a dead heat with Buek stone for the Ascot Cup. Buckstone was another grand horse, and was famous not only for the dead heat he ran with Tim Whiffler for the Ascot Cup, but also for his match against the Earl of Glasgow's Knowsley for 500 guineas aside, which he won m a canter. Tim Whiffler was the sire of Briseis, who won the Melbourne Cup and Derby, and the dam of Macilleatliean being by Fisherman, shows his grand strain of blood, as a study of the Stud Book will show that Musket's great success has been from Australian brecfmares, for the descendants of the grand old Fisherman, viz., Martini- Henry, Nordenfeldt and Trenton are all descended from Fisherman on the dam's side.

MR JAMFS AUSTIN, Winchester, Says—The Lime I bought was used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid and Swedes that I ever had, not withstanding the very bad season for that ctop. I sowed the lime with a Duncan drill, and had no difficulty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sowing wheat, hoping thereby "to avoid the savages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. j MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest Says —He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime aad phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres he used two buckets full of lime to one hundredweight of phosphate; on another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—m each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m fche land which had the most lime, although he was told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from tke phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, South Rakaia, Says—He ground the lime into a line powder aud mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of about 2| cwt per acre. In ] about fifteen hours after sowing, the j scribe, which the coulter, of the drill left j oil the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m abetijbrthirty-six hours the turnip seeds were spouted, and finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes the lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little. water will give a dry powder. H3F To ensure delivery Orders should be s nt ewly. ♦11 E. F. WRIGHT.
