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 lime and sixof 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, Winchester, g ays _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 notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now usir.g Lime m sswing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid 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 another thirty acres he used phosphate alone—in each case one and a quarter hundredweight was 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,; South 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 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 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. To ensure, delivery Orders shorld be sent early. Fi. F, WRIGHT, 6$- Mouub Somerß

At the reception given to Mr Hennik Heaton m Sydney, the member for Cant, bwry said it would be idle for him to cone* theiact that rumours were reaching Englt.i that m Austral % there was a growing feelii of disloyalty to the old country. He cou only say that if these roumours had ai foundation no statesman m England wou raise a finger to prevent Australians fro taking any course they pleased, greatly i they would regret it. He could not hu from them that any step towards separatic would unquestionably lead to the dissolutir ' of the empire, and Australia then would I for ever guilty of the national crime of ha' ing brcught about the downfall of the natioi ("Never. ) He made these remarks nc to influence them m any way, but stmpl that they might know what was <he fcelin ot the peopl« of England.
