Mount Somers nine KILLS THE DIAMOND-B YCK MOTH* The Diamokd-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 beet 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 coot and lime applied m the proportion of two bushels of lime and six of soot to the acre will be found to be the most effective and cheapest dressing. Not only does the mixture seem to kill the caterpillar, but it is also an excellent fertiliser. MR JAMES AUSTIN, WIKCHESTEB, 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 m so doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I noiice the roots are much lerger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m sswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest, iB very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Peel Fckest, Says—He mixed lime with superphos phate to dry the phosphate. On fifty acres he used lime and phosphate m the proportion fof 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—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight tras used per acre. He says the largest turnips appeared to be growing m the 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 the phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again. MR W. HARRISON, SOITTH RAKAIA, Says—He ground the lime into a fine powder and mixed the turnip seed with it and sowed with an ordinary grain drill at the rate of 2| cwt per acre. In about fifteen hours after sowing, the scrirJl; which the coulter of the drill left on. the around, was quite moist with the lime dissolving, and m about thirty-six hours the turnip seeds were sprouted. He finishes by saying that had it been a damp season he believes che lime would have been a thorough success. P.S.—Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder, S^.

J. M. HAMILTON, District Agent. THE CO-OPEBATIVE SYSTEM, \\r HICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pbeno- W 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 belftftts arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al 1 mi-dlemen's profits, awl 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 owin« to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. It has been left to Australia to apply this grand principle to jRRxGA Txo N . And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, vho have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially settled and olanted, are negotiating for other large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virrin 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 t« tome of lands, as Me Society's resources admit of colonising same.
