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| cwb 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 rhe Hme would have been a thorough success. P.S. —Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. l^k, To ensure delivery Orders shoi'ld fee sent early. E. F. WRIGHT, 85 Mount Somers Bullock's Arcade.



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 m so doing.' Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. lam now using Lime m s®wing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very I Tetructive 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 waa told not to mix the lime and phosphate, as the lime would liberate the ammonia from tho phosphate. Finishes by saying he is so pleased with the result that he intends using lime again.

THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, WHICH insures mutual help and identity of interests, has met with pheno 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 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.
