» similar trade with Hobart and the West Coastot Tasmania. This, no doubt, can be done by transhipment into smaller vessels for carriage to Macquarie Harbor, steamers taken over willialso be retained on the Tasmanian register of shipping. Fmther than this wages will be disbursed m Tasmania, and stores and supplies ob tained from Holrart arid Launceston, a» though the company were 1 entirely a TaSr manian one. An effort will be made to still .further s develop the trade of the various ports, and additional sailings will probably be arranged shortly between Launceston and Melbourne. It is pro bable that the Minder* may resume, run ning as the second boat during the winter months^ but the company* intention is to place the Ttotomahana" m the trade for next summer's . express passenger traffic. The company also look forward, at no distant date, to the necessity for specially building an express steamer for this particular trade, with the view of considerably reducing the sei voyage from heads to heads, riie Union Company, having now possession of the link between Hobart and Sydney, will make a special feature next year, issuing round tickets from all New Zealand ports to ports m the other colonies, and vice versa."

The Torchlight Pro cession.

The torchlight, procession by the Ash burton Fire Brigade to*morrbw evening promises to be a brilliant affair. The route fixed is as folfctoi from the Fire Brigade station, the procession will move along Burnett street to William street, by William street to Moore street, and on to East street. This will (bring them to Friedlander Bros' corner, and the route will then be along East street to Mr R. Alcorn's corner, and so give a grand display iiti the chief street of the town. From Alcorn's corner the proces sion will take its way along Wills street to the Oddfellows' Hall, where the "social" begins at eight o'clock. Ten i minutes before the procession starts a rocket will be sent up as a sort of ''assembly" signal. A second rocket will rise, at which the procession will form m the foiling order:—Band; mannal engine; the steamer "Pride of Ashburton " bringing up the rear. The discharge of a heavy rocket will be the signal to start. Rockets, etc., will, en liven the journey to the junction of Burnett and East street, whore a tem porary stoppage will be made to admit of a display of such fireworks as require the fount to be stationary. At the hall, a grand pyrotechnic display will take place, at which the Darktown detachment wil assist and a sable salamander will be present to dispose of any unsold tickets for the social that may remain en hand.

POLITICAL.

(MSB IKES& ASSOCIATION.) Wellington, Jane 8. It is understood that the taxation scheme of tie Governmeiit includes a proposal for imposing a Small tax on totalisator invest ments. ■■•'•< ■■•■•■■ Wiuxngton, June 9. t A h6w condition* is to be inserted m Government contracts providing that each tender must be accompanied a declaration that the contractor will pay the current, rate of wages paid for similar work m the locality, and recognise eight hours as an ordinary day's labor. The county authorities on the West Coast of the South Island and the gold tields of Otago, find themselves m straits for revenue since the gold duty was abolished. A deputation waits on Ministers to-morrow to lay the position before them, and ask that some means should be provided to enable them to carry on the necessary works. The Minister of Public Works has effected some alterations and amalgama tions m the Defence Department at Auckland, .which will save about £300 per amiiin^ He has given orders to completed the most" urgent works on the forfciji, which will occupy three or four months. The Conciliation Rill is being printed, and distributed as fast aB copies come to band. The provisions have met the approval of those bodies to whom so far it has been submitted. .

{FKOM OUR. COBEESrOIjDKOT.), Wellington, June 8.

Buiek to second, the Address-in-Reply, The permmid and intentions of the Opposition are as yet vdry uncertain. The "Post" hasthsfollowing.;-~There is a prospect of some interesting proceed ings m regard to the Hon. Mr Wigley's aeat m the Legislative Council, which it is claimed he hat vacated' through absence from two consecutive sessions without leave, Mr Wigfey arrived from the South by yesterday's steamer* and proposes to take his seat and challenge an attempt to dislodgehhn. His grounds, weunderstand, are that as there* was not ti single Act passed when Parliament met last, it did not really amount to a session; and, further, that he made two attempts to reach Wellington, but was laid aside by illness each time—first at Titnaru, and fchen at Christchurch, and finally reached Wellington just at the clos^ of the week's session. The usual course, when a Coun cillor's right to sit is questioned, is for the Governor to refer the matter to the Council as a whole for decision. This was done some years ago, when it was alleged that Sir Frederick Whitaker and the Hon, Messrs Pharajsyn, Waterhouso, j and Oliver had forfeited their seats through absence from two sessions with out leave. On that occasion the Council i decided to the contrary, each gentleman proring that ho Jwul leave from the Government. Wellington* June 9.

With reference to Mr Wigley s inten tion to resume his seat m the Legislative Council and challenge dislodgment, the *« New Zealand Times " says the Speaker has decided that last session was a com plete one, and Mr Wigley being absent without leave forfeits his seat.

I Publio Notices Mount Somers Lime. MR. JAMES AUSTIN, WINCHKSTEi., SAYS — The Lime I bought wan used with Turnips, and I have the best crop of Hybrid,and Swedes that 1 ever had, notwithstanding the very bud season for that crop. I sowed the Limp with a Duncan Drill, and had no difficulty mso doing. Where any unusual quantity of Lime was spilt, I notice the roots are much larger than elsewhere. I am now using Lime m sowing wheat, hoping thereby to avoid the ravages of the grub, which pest is very destructive this season. MR JOHN GRIGG, LoNOBEACH, Says-—The lime I used last year was only for rape m peat laud and for fruit trees. For the hitter the benefit was very great but for the rape all the crop was so superb that 1 could not see any difference. But there is no doubt of its value on peat soils and on cold days. I shall take a larger quantity than 1 have ordered. MR G. T. SMITH 7 ] Nurseryman, Ashburton, ;>Says—l am pleased to inform you that I jim quite satisfied from experiments I made m liming land for fruic trees that grand results follow, the fruit being larger, more abundant* and the color per-; feet; also the lime keeps m check the slug and grub. For growing clover with irrigation the result is simply marvellous, the clover being of a luxuriant green. In short, I consider lime and irrigation %» hand m hand with perfect husbandry. He finishes by saying he intends to keep on using Mount Somers lime from time to •time. ' ' ' '"' '.-,.'. .'.■■. , MR F. WILDING. (For the Styx Apple Co.) Says—The lime used at the Styx Orchard had an excellent effect upon the soil. The trees bore well and were unusually free from insect pests of every -kind. MR W. T. SMITH, SI'RINGBURN, Says—He limed strips m two old grass paddocks which had been down to grass ten years, and m both cases it renewed the pasture on these strips, a vigorous growth of clover and rye grass appearing m each strip, MR ANDREW MaoFARLANE, SI'RINOBURN, Says—He limed some grass land eighteen months ag© this summer. He shut it up for hay, and m two cuttings took off four tons more grass per acre off limed ground than the non-limed. MR JOHNSTON, Hakatere, Says—He limed a piece ot a grass paddock which had been down four years, shut it up for hay this summer, and the limed ground by weight gave nearly three times as much grass as the non-limed. MR HOOD Says—Ec limed GO acres, leaving li ncfe m the middle unlimed, the whole of the land being drilled m with turnips and superphosphate. By actual weight and measurement the limed land gave 21 tons to the acre, unlimed 11 tons. Estimating turnips at 2s 6d per ton we have 62s Cd and 27s 6d an acre respectively. From these figures, if you require 1000 tons of turnips, it will require 100 acres of unlimed land, and it will cost £100 for labor and phosphate; whereaa, if you lime the land, you get 1000 tons off 50 acres, and so save the labor and phos phate on 50 acres, thereby saving £50, without taking into consideration that you have the use of 50 acres for some other put pose, and that you have a large credit balance m the limed soil. B.F.W. MR RANDALL, or Ashburton, Says —He limed a ship m a paddock at an outlay of £2 an acre, 18 months ago ; the remainder of the paddock he treated with artificial manures to the value of £3 an acre ; planted the whole with potatoes and the whole crop was about equal. This last Spring he put part of it m potatoes and part m mangels ; the potatoes on artificially manured land gave 8 ton 12 cwt per acre, potatoes on limed land 10 ton 19 cwt per acre, The mangels with attifici.il manures gave 88 tons to the acre, and on limed land 58 tons to the acre. MR JOSEPH TUCKER Says—Through liming he has grown from ten to twelve tons of potatoes on land which would not grow potatoes before. MR J. T. BURNET, ot Kaiai'oi, Says—By liming land to the extent of 1J ton of lime to the acre he has been abjc to grow one-third more potatoes of much superior quality on Jimed land. He has sent me two samples to verify his statement, whio'i are on view at the New Zealand Clothing Factory. I have many other testimonials of a like cha/acter. E, F.
