iHHEAl 3 TURNIP MANURE. KJ About Is 6d per cwt on tlie Farm. Mount Somerg Lime KILLS THE DIAMONDSVCK MOTH. The Diamond-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 soot 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, ■ , . Winchester, Says—The Lime I boWglit; was used with Turnips, «n& I have tb> 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 lsrger than elsewhere. lam now uai&g Lime m sawing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR ROBERT THEW, Pjebl 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 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 Hie Jime would have been a thorough success. P.S. —Damping the lime with a little water will give a dry powder. £3^ To ensure )delivery Orders sLorld ba sent early. E F. WRIGHT, I S| Mount Sow tit

The numerous immense packing-cases 1 that have been carted through the streets of Ashburten during the last few days, and have attracted much curiosity as to their content*, contain the new rolling machinery j imported by Mr E. Thomas for the Wakanm Flour Mill. An extraordinary shooting accident occulted on September 8 near Camberwel), Victoria. Robert Campbell, a telegraph operator, was out out shooting with a friend, and was m the act of loading an old muzzle loading pistol, which unexpectedly exploded, 1 driving the ramrod into his face just under his left eye. The rod passed behind the eye and through the brain, a distance of upwards of 7in, c Bticking out through the top &i^£ head. Campbell was able to walk and talk rationally. The local medical man did not withdraw the rod, but the sufferer was taken to the Melbourne Hospital, where the operation of trepanning and withdrawing the red was performed* The patient is m a very low state. Certainly the Most Effective MEDICINE m the world is SANDER and SONS' EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. Test its eminent powerful effects m Coughs, Colds, Influenza, etc.; the relief is instantaneous. Thousands gave the mosj; gratifying testimony. Read this certificate:—"34th April, .1885 — Messrs Sander and Sons, —It is with , the greatest of-pleasure that I testify to the excellence of. your Eucalypti Extract. Having had inflammation of the bone of the leg, which came on after a severe attack of low fever, I was attended by'Dr J. Boyd, who had made strenuous efforts to save my leg, but without success. He found it necessary to amputate my limb. Having hea^d m the meantime of the wonderful cures worked by the Eucalypti Extract, I obtained a bottle, and the extract had not been applied more than an hour when I began to feel greatly relieved* After applying the extract every four hcursfor nine or ten daya it was out of all danger. I would persu&de lA who may be effected with any such disease to give the Eucalypti Extract a trial, and 1 am convinced that they mil find it the niost wonderful of medicines.—Youis, etc.; E. J.
