mire the trade will then prove more lucrative to them, as the butchers who will use the best deicriptious of >«w Zealand mea<; will bave nothing to do with it If it is at *U of inferior quality." Butter —We sell this article through merchants, who dispose of it for us to the retail trade. We shall be glad fco take charge of and realise consignments for any'of your clients. The tirst arrivals should come here about the end of November, and continue until about the middle of March. The season just ended has been a very favorable one, as the quality has been much better than last year. Prices have rauced from 90s to 118s. You should ad vise all your clients that boxes fetch better prices than firkins, aid recommend them \A send as much as they possibly can in the former package. It is essential that the boxes should be carefully packed with parchment paper, and have close-fitting lids ; the butter should also be put on bond tho steamer in as good a condition as possible, as any deterioration that takes place, invariably occurs before shipment. Cheese. - This is sold in tho same way as butter. There has been a good demand this season, and prices have ranged from 42s to 56s per cwt according to quality. The best prices can be got for New Zealand cheese during the months of ■ April, May, June, July, and August, as American and Canadian cheese is then scarce and comes soft and flavourless. The best shape for xSew 'Zealand cheese is an imitation of the Canadian Cheddar, weighing about 56/70 lbs, and measuring 9|in high and 15jin diameter,, and these should be packed"in single boxes. The variety, quantity, and number of articles consigned to us have greatly in creased of late years. We give particular attention to the business, watch the market closely, and select our brokers and salesmen with great care, and pufc our businew* in the hands of those who do it best. We keep down expenses as much as possible, and only charge a very small commission. We are, therefore, m a nrst rate position to deal to the best advaatage with any consignments our New Zealand friends may entruht to us for sale.—l am, yours faithfully, Pavid Gkobge, Manager.

MR RANDALL, OF AsHMJRTON, Says—He limed a strip in a paddock at •■ui outlay of £2 an acre, 18 months ago *, the remainder of the paddock he treated with artificial manures to the value of £3 an acre ; planted the whole with potatoes and the whole crop was about equal. This last Spring lie put part of it in potatoes and part in mangels ; the potatoes on artificially manured land gave 8 ton 12 cwt per acre, potatoes on limed land 10 ton 19 cwt per a,are, The mangels with artificial manures gave 88 tons to the acre, and on limed land $8 tons to the acre. MB JOSEPH TUCKER Says—-Through, liming he has grown from ten to twelve tons of potatoes on land which would not grow potatoes befqrp. MR J. T. BURNET, ot Kaiapoi, Says—By liming land to the extent of 1| ton of lime to the aore he has been able to grow one-third more potatoes of much superior quality on limect land. He has sent me two samples to verify his statement, which are on view at the New Zealand Cloching Factory. _ I have many other testimonials of a like character. E, F. WRIGHT, 5§223 Mount Somers.



Public Notices Mount Somers Lime. MR. JAMES 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, notwithstanding the very bad season for that crop. I sowed the Lime with a Duncan Drill, and had no difficulty in so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. I ' am now using Lime in sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, "which pest is very destructive this season. MR JOHN G3IGG, LoNGBEACH, i Says—The lime I used last year was only for rape in peat land and for fruit trees. For the latter the benefit was very great but for the rape all the crop was so superb that 1 could not se3 any difference. But there is no doubt of its value on peat soils and on cold clays. I shall take a larger quantity than I have ordered. MRG.T. SMITH7 Nurseryman, Ashburton, gays—l am pleased to inform you that I am quite satisfied from experiments I made in liming land for fruic trees that grand results follow, the fruit being larger, more abundant, and the color jrer fect; also the lime keeps in check the slug and grub. For growing clover with irrigation the result is simply marvellous, the clover being of a luxuriant green. In short, I consider lime and irrigation go hand in hand with perfect husbandry. He finishes by saying he intends to keep on using Mount Somers lime from time to time. MR F. WILDING, (For the Styx Apple Co.) Says- Tho lime used at the Styx Orchard had an excellent effect upon the soil. The trees bore well and were unusually free from insect pests of every kind. MR W. T. SMITH, Springburn, gayg—He limed strips in two old grass paddocks which had been down to grass ten years, and in both cases it renewed the pasture on these strips, a vigorous growth of clover and rye grass appearing in each strip, MR ANDREW MacFARLANE, Sr KING BURN, Says—Ht. limed some grass land eighteen months age this summer. He shut it up for hay, and in two cuttings took off four tons more grass per acre off limed ground than the non-limed. MR JOHNSTON, Hakatere, Says—He limed a piece ot a grass paddock which had been down four years, shut it up for hay tins summer, and the limed ground by weight gave nearly three times as much grass as the non-limed. MR HOOD S a y S —ll o limed 60 acres, leaving lh acre in the middle unlimed, the whole of the land being drilled in with turnips and superphosphate. By actual weight and measurement the I'ined land gave 21 tons to the acre, unlimed 11 tons. Estimating turnips at 2s 6d per ton we have 52s 6d and 27s 6(1 an acre respectively. From these figures, if you require 1000 tons of turnips, it will require 100 acres of unlimed land, and it will cost £100 for labor and phosphate; whereas, if you lime the land, you get 1000 tons off 50 acres, and so save the labor and phos phate on 50 acres, thereby saving £50, without taking into consideration that you have the use of 50 acres for some other puipose, and that you have a large credit balance in the limed soil.
