supervision of the Royal Agricultural Society of England, and at tue trials at Doncaster this year Foden's machine took the first urize, the amount of gram ob tained having been 2213 Mb m 27fmm or h^ the rate of 47881 b per hour, or rather better than 51 tons for 24h M . At the last previous trials m 1872 by the Royal Agricultural Society at Cardiff, the greatest quantity threshed was at the me Sf 34551 b per hour, so that the improved quantity per hour obtained this year is xVardsof3Bper cent, better than the 1872 machines, and just about double what could have been effected oy the machines of forty years ago.

Besides the Royal Agricultural bociety of England, there is another important deliberating body constituted of farmers and termed the Central Chamber of Agri culture. Each county is represented by a delegate choser by the local farmers' clubs, and these delegates are deputed to forward th.c interests of agriculture m general and also to look after local matters that may require discussion. This chamber meets annually m London as a central position, and the last meeting was held m November. Members are prepared with resolutions relating to some aspect of agriculture or matters affecting the interests of farmers, and these are put to the chamber as they appear on the pro gramme, and afterdiscussion are put to the vote. Among other business brought was a resolution by the delegate from Warwickshhe-"That m the opinion of this chamber the co-operation of farmers for purposes of purchase is desirable. This proposal does nos embrace the principle of co-operation m all its bearings, but merely the combination of a number of farmers for the purchase of seeds, artificial manures, and feectng stuffs. The Yorkshire representative spoke very strongly m favor of the motion. He said the only opponents ot co-operation among agriculturists were those who were Jjalf farmers and half merchants. Co-operation, he said, was a means by which the smaller farmers could protect themselves like the stronger men. He hoped that the chamber would agree to the motion, and do all within its power to further the object. Other members spoke m the same strain, and after considerable discussion the motion was submitted to the chamber and earned unanimously. It appears that the idea is simply to combine for wholesale purchasing on a guaranteed analysis and redistribute to the co-operators—a much more simple arrangement than the joint stock companies which deal with both sellers and purchasers, and do all business m connection with handling and disposal of farmers' produce. One member hailing from Devonshire said that the farmers of his district all clubbed together and bought large quantities of manure and feeding stuffs, and they found that by buying 700 or 800 tons of manure at a time they got it fully £1 per ton cheaper, which fact, he said, was m itself quite sufficient to induce any sensible man to forward the proposal embodied m the motion under discussion.

OUR SWIMMERS.

TBAINIHO NOTES BY " PLUNGER." The bath has been as busy as ever since I wrote my last notes, and IJiavo remarked that a good many of the "boys have taken my kindly meant advice and increased their practice They will feel the benefit of it m hardened muscle, a stronger stroke, added staying power, and increased speed, and if they keep on Js they are going without any slackening of practice, and enter for the competi tions, there will, perhaps, be nobody more surprised thai, themselves at the forward places they wiU gain m the races In continuation of my notes, for I told you my list of good and promising trimmer* was not exhausted, let me rssume with p Oookson. This young swimmer flan be looked upon as a coming man. He is well built, has a good chest, plenty of strong muscle, and moves well, with a , luce dash. If he keeps up to his training work he cannot fail to be heard of even this year. . . .. , . I Tyrell-Baxfcer's profession ties him up a good deal, and he cannot do all he would like to m practice. But he makes oood use of his limited opportunities, is Tar from lozy, and has plenty of go. If he had the chinees for practice that many I could name have, he would become a very fast man, for the makings of one are largely m him. He has a pretty overhand stroke, and like a wise man sticks to it. T Grubb shows much improvement. His compact little person is well known -on the water, for he works like a lion, is fairly fast, and he should be m the van m the handicaps on the 2nd. R Curtis, I hear, will compete. I have'not seen much of him m the water of late but if splendid condition goes anyway towards success, he should be ■well forward, and he has a good style. B Shields should;have a big say m the Inn*'dive, tor very seldom do you find a man who can live so long under water as W^H. Saunders'sweeps a strong breast stroke, with a fair pace, but a regular sticker. How a word or two about the BOYS, F Grubb is about the best among the voting'uns. He has a nice side stroke, which he cultivates, and he has the makings of a grand swimmer. , F Williams is fearless m the water-a regular "duck;" and practice has im proved his style very much. G Braddell has astonished me. He is quite a beginner, and only learnt m the main* For his years and experience he S uncommonly good, but he must attend to the improvement of Ins style, ami watch for lessons from the most approved stylists of the club, F S Barrett and R. Tasker I class to crether/because both are about equal as swimmers, are equally painstaking m practice and the cultivation of stylo, and equally anxious to improve. John Alcorn is, I believe, a competitor ior the boys' race. He has plenty of go at him, but, like all tl.e boys he is lacking m ityle-. I would just here give them aIJ a bit of advice as an old and expenencec swimmer. Don't, for any sake, go dab bling with -a!} the kinds of stroke it you -want to take a goad place. Stick to one ■'stroke, whether : «htf be breast, side, 01

overhand. Master one stroke before you tackle a second, and be sure you are master of that before you take up another. As time goes on, and you have plenty of practice you will get at all the strokes, but you will find that the one you mastered first will be your most natural stroke : but—first master it, and you can only do that by sticking to the practice of it. R. Mitchell is making good progress with the side stroke, and is an example to the other juniors m loyalty to one stroke. I have great faith m his future. Generally, from a glance round the men m training, I should say there will be some excellent form shown.. They are finding out what regular practice can do for them. But one word, which I trust they will not take unkindly. Some of them lack- " pluck." They get frightened at a big handicap. Let them remember that they are not always the best judges of their own powers, and that when a qualified handicapper gives them a big weight, that is his opinion of their ability. If they liave the pluck as well as the ability he credits them with they will still have something left after winning. But never forget that the race is not lost till it has been won, and never spend all you have m the first of the race ; always leave something m hand to spurt with at the finish. Most good races are won | there and few at the beginning. When the handicaps are out I will try my hand, with your favor, at giving a few "tips." '

Dunedin, February 22. The weather was beautiful, and all this morning's work was onsthe]outside of the course. Cruchfield and Prime Warden I did two miles, Jacob Faithful accom panying them the firsfc mile. Pique and Conjurer want once ro»und fast. Saracen and Retina did a fast six furlongs. Merrie England was sent a mile, having j Kulnine for a companion the first part and Cajolery bringing him home. It was a really good go, the Cup horse going freer than usual. Clanranald worked by himself. Occident and Derby had a strong two miles, nearly at top. Don Pedro and Bosefeldt did two miles, keep ing well together all the way. Free Lance by himself did a mile and aquarter, Lustre then joining and beating him badly m the run home of six furlongs. Craokshot went two miles at three quarter pace, going well and pulling up sound; Blizzard and Galtee a mile and three-quarters fast, the latter having his companion done at a mile and a half. Vogengang and ftfay put m a fast six furlongs, May going another by herself. Breadalbane did steady work. The Dreamer and Heather Bell a mile and a half at a good pace.

The flock of black merino sheep which has been collected by Mr J. Fulton, Rangiora, is to be sold by auction to morrow. At the inquest on the body of W. G. OUiver who was killed on the railway at Temuka, the most important evidence was that of Thomas Davidson, the engine driver, who was m charge of the north express on Friday. He said that about two minutes after leaving Temuka he noticed a man walking on the left hand side ot the rail about two yards clear of the rails. Whistled for the crossing then about 2J, chains distant. The man looked up and towards the train, and then continued walking along the line quite clear of the rails. Immediately afterwards his mate on the engine called out that the man was lying down across the rails. Witness looked up and saw deceased deliberately place his neck on the right hand rail. The alarm to the guard was sounded, steam shut off', all breaks were applied, and the engine was reversed. Deceased was within ten yards of the engine when he lay down, and was struck almost instantaneously by the cowcatcher, which carried him along about a chain before the engine stopped. The train was going about twenty-five miles an hour with a gradually increasing speed, but was pulled up m about a chain. Saw the man taken from under the cowcatcher. He was then breathing. Was sure he did not fall accidentally across the line. His action was quite deliberate. The jury returned a verdict " That deceased com mitted suicide, but that there was not suffi cient evidence to show the condition of his mind," As a rider they desired to add that m their opinion the officials m charge of the train had done their utmost to prevent this lamentable occurrence.
