[ THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutualiielp and identity of interests, has met with pheno menal succesa wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United. Kingdom some over seven millions of peoplej or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a 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 owihij 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 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. COLONIES, Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or non-residpnt capitalist, the em ployed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor. Till Board of Manage ment comprises amongst its Members some of the best and most favorably known men m Australia. ' ,,*," THE CO-OPERATIVE IRRIGATION and MERCANTILE society or Australia, Limited.

He states that between 10th March inst., when he obtained the first bottle of the extract, and the 19th, the vise of that medicine continued to afford him relief, to which he had been a stranger for four years. Mr Loveday writes also that he has found the Eucalypti Extract ■* cure for rheumatism as well as gravel. He requests us to publish this information through the' Mercury.' \\e have much pleasure m complying with Mr Loveday's request, whose word cannot be doubted, and who can have no object m View other than a pure desire to benefit suffering humanity.
