The following in the committee proposed to be set up to consider all matters pertain* ing to the agricultural and pastoral indus tries ot the colony: Sir John Hall (Elles mere); Messrs T. Mackenzie (Clutha); F. Lawry (Parnell); T. Duncan (Oamaru); A. Saunders (Selwyn); E. G. Wright (A»n burton); H. S. Valentine (Tuapeka); J. Mackintosh (Wallace); W. Carncross (Tiieri); and the Hon J. McKenzie (Waitaki); the last named being the mover. Messrs Ross and Devery, of Springburn, have just obtained from the works of Messrs P. and D. Duncan, Christchurch, a plough, for use in the making of water-races, ft is designed to cut a race three feet wide and nine inches deep, and is a fine specimen of strong, substantial work. On a massive iron frame about ten feet long, and mounted on four wheels, there are fixed a coulter of the ordinary pattern, but of great size, and a large share of peculiar construction, the sole-plate of cast-iron, with front and sides of wrought iron. The share is of steel, and on each side are steel "wings," bent up wards, so as to form the sides of the race. The moulds-boards are of massive construc tion, and two feet two inches wide at the broadest part. The length from the back of the mould-board to the point of the share is seven feet. The plough weighs about two tons, and is to be drawn and guided by a traction-engine. The residents in the Geraldine township have responded to the request of the Govern ment, and will take advantage of next Thursday being Arbor Day to devote the holiday to tree planting. A representative meeting was held in the Town Board office last Thursday evening, Mr A. White, Chair man of the Board, presiding. An influential committee was appointed to carry out the arrangements. It was decided that^owing to there being so little time for the purpose this year, the day's proceedings should be devoted to planting ornamental trees in the school grounds, the school children taking a prominent part therein. A meeting of the Domain Committee of the Borough Council was held this morning to consider what steps should be taken to observe Arbor Day. It was decided to suggest the following programme:—The schools to meet in the morning, and plant trees in the school grounds, as may be de cided by the severaL school committees, the Borough authorities and their friends meanwhile planting some trees and shrubs in Baring Square. Afterwards the schools j to march to a central point—the Union Bank corner-—and there form in one pro cession and march to the Domain, the Ash burton Band to be invited to head the pro cession. At the Domain provision will be made te supply the children with tea, after which more trees will be planted. Some patriotic songs will be sung, and brief ad dresses on the object of the day delivered. It iejfelt that it would not t« well to attempt too much in the short space of time that re mains before Thursday, and that if this pro gramme can be carried out it will be a good beginning in the observance of an annual celebration. His Worship the Mayor has proclaimed the day & public holiday.

SANDER AND SONS EUCALYPTI EXTRACT.—In protection of the _ world made fame our manufacture has acquired all over the globe, we publish the following:— Hazard, M.D., Professor of General Patho logy and Diseases of the Mind and Nervous system, says in an editorial published in tne •' Clinical Record ":—" We b*ve examined half-a-dozen specimens of different manufac tures ; the preparation of Sander and Sons was the only one that proved to be reliable and corresponding to scientific tests." Another concoction called " Refined Extract of Eucalyptus" has made its appearance since. This product stands, according toDr Owen, foremost in causing injurious effects. That gentleman communicates, at a meeting of the Medical Society of Victoria, that a child living at Fitzroy Decame most seriously indisposed through its use. In another case j a lady states on the strength of statutory declaration that she suffered cruelly from the effects of the same cqncqctiqn. To giiard the high reputation, oi our manufacture we feel warranted |n e^po ing the abqve faofcs, aad desfees the pubjip to exercise care and precaution when buying, SANDER and SONS.—(Advt.) . 7 The Onslow Biscuit.
