The East Coast Natives.

(per press association.) » ; Wellington, October 13. JMajor Gmlgeon, who is holding a sit ting of the Native Land Court north of Gisborne, has forwarded to the Govern ment a report of the mortality of the East Coast Natives, m which he gives the names of seventy-two natives, or nearly ten per cent of the population of the dis trict, who have, died since June. He attributes the deaths m a large measure to the* barbarous treatment.which patients receive, from Maori doctors. Compara tively few deaths haveocoun eclat Waipiro, and this he attributes to the presence of Mr Matthew: Scott, of the Native dinpen- Bary. Major Gudgeon believes that if the residents would guarantee £200 to secure the services of a good medical man. Mr Scott also; furnishes a report, stating that the deaths areduetosuperstition, lazi ness, and..natural inaptitude m looking after the' sick, and because the natives refuse to accept European medicines, but stick to their tohungas, •To Kooti rite% and anointing with oil according to the Mormon creed. The Government Uave telegraphed to Major Gudgeon that if the residents will guarantee a subsidy of £206 a year for a medical man, they will supple ment the amount by £100 per annum.

'I hose m the former fill twelve spacious rooms, and those m the latter four teen. The Pope was applied to for financial assistance to avert the disaster, but declined the request. It is said he has never forgiven the prince ;for hoisting the Italian flagon his palace when the German Emperor visited Rome.

Mount Soiiier* IJme KILLS THE DIAMOND-BACK MOT a. Thk DiaMomi-Back Moth.—Recently, says the "Manchester Guardian," Mr M. M. Reynard, Inspector of the Board of Agriculture, has been making a series of experiments m the Alnwick district, for the purpose of discovering the best preventive of the ravages of the destruc tive diamond-back moth. As the result of his observations he has been led to think that a mixture of soot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lims and six'of soot to the acre will be found to be the niost effective and cheapes-t dressing. Nob only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but . it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTIN, Winchester, £ a y d —The Lime I bought was used with jTurnipe, ami I have the best crop of ' Hylrid 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 difh'cu'ty m so doing. Where any unusual quantity pf Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much Iprger than elsewhere. lam now using [ I»iiii6 m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to ■• avpi4 the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Forest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m the proportion of one to one. On thirty acres? he used two buckets full of lime to one :hundredweight of phosphate; on uuotiicr thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was used, per aci;e., lie says I the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the land which had the most lime, although he was told not lo ■mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammoni* from the /phosphate, Finishes by saying lie is sol -pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, SOTITU RAKAIA, Says—He ground the lime into a.fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with, it and so we 1 with an ordinary grain drill, at the rate of 2| cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scribe, which the coulter of the drill left on the ground, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the i turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it bee,u a damp season he believes che Hme, would have been a thorough success. P.S —Damping the lime with a little water .will give a dry powder, £3t» To ensure delivery Orders should bs sent early. . E, F. *yR.JGH.T, ; 10 8q §founfc SomVys, >'

At this juncture I called cil Messrs Sander and Sons, procuring some of their Extract of Eucalyptus Globulus, and by the application of the same I had the satisfaction of seeing my son within a fort night out of ali danger, and to-day he is recovered.
