CABLE SUMMARY.

Forty deaths from cholera are recorded at Alexandria. The French elections will take place on August 20. It is reported that a Freoch and Russian naval demonstration will shortly take place in the Mediterranean. Lord Dufferin, British Ambassador, is a-sent from Paris as a protest against the unseemly attacks on Great Britain by the French Press. Lord Palifebury has requested the Peers to attend during the last week of August, to debate the second reading of the Home Rule Bill. The " Daily News " warns waverers among the Home Rule party that they are risking another termof'l'ory coercion, for unless the Bill is adopted there must be a dissolution. The French ship Rosa reports that she was seized by pirates in the Gulf of St Lawrence, and claims compensation from the Canadian Government. There was a brilliant assemblage in the Town Hall, Sydney, when Lord Kintore, the Governor of South Australia, installed Sirß. Duff as Grand Master of the United Grand Lodge of Masons. The "Globe" states that three yews ago Admiral Tryon order d a similar manoeuvre to that which brought about the loss of the Victoria, but Admiral Trac«y refused to obey it, and the signal was annulled. There was a great Orange demonstration throughout Ulster on the 12th. A hundred thousand people attended in the suburbs of Belfast to hear a speech by Dr Kane against Home Rule. Dr Kane, in his speech to the Orangemen, said that they had met tyranny with unyielding defiance, and would pay no regard to the efforts to force a bloody revolution upon them. He warned Ulster men to keep their weapons ready. . In the House of Commons, an amendment, to retain the representation of Dublin University, was ndgatived by 32. Mr Glad stone announced that he proposed to abandon the clause forbidding the Irish members deliberating or voting on any but Imperial matters, and to leave them unlimited powers in the House of Commons. Mr Gladstone, referring to the amendment in favonr of retaining the representation of Dublin University, said that he hoped the University in future would attend more to learning and leas to politics. He objected to all Univer sity seats.

FARM AND GARDEN

THE CUCUMBER BEETLE.

A Yellow Striped Insect That Injures Cucumber, Melon and Pumpkin Tines. Changing location is a plan practiced by some for circumventing the garden ers' enemy, the striped cucumber beetle, but in home gardens this cannot be done, and some protection placed over the hill before the plants appear above ground will prove most satisfactory in the long run. The fact that such protection often aids materially in pre venting injury from frost is an important point in its favor, t Professor Goff advises the protector illustrated in the accompanying sketch from Garden and Forest as being strong, light, durable and economical of stor age, as well as being, entirely efficient jmd cheap. It is maae of %-irich un dressed pine lumber, covered over the top with ordinary wire mosquito net ting. The frame may be made sixteen inches square at the top, and the sec tions are cut so that the bottom is slight ly larger, giving flare enough to admit of nesting the boxes together for con venient storage. By cutting the boards in the manner shown in the drawing they may bo "double nailed," which greatly adds to the strength of the frame without increasing the weight or cost. The cucumber beetle first eats the young leaves a few days after the plants have come up, and later in the •eason the larva of the beetle descends

Mid attacks the root, causing the plant k> wither and die. In the cut already re ferred to is shown the root of a plant irregularly eaten in spots, and where these spots occur the larva will be found Ridden within it. The female deposits ker eggs on the Btem near the surface of the ground, and from this egg the young iarva when hatched eats its way down \o tbe center of the Btem. When full grown the larva is nearly half an inch long, and almost as slender as a com mon pin, One of the simplest methods is to covei the hills with a piece of thin cheese cloth two or three feet square and held up in the center by means of a half barrel hoop or bent wire in form of a croquet arch, fastening the edges down with loos© earth. Another method is to pro tect the plants by keeping them well cov ered with plaster ov bone dust. Treat jnenYinnst begi'j in advance of the in lets' first appearance, or from the day liat the plant appears above ground, fhe period of danger is while the plants re young.

Transferring Bees.

The best time to, transfer bees from, hox hives to, movable frame hives, eayi The American Bee Journal, is just be fore the fruit blooms, when there is lit tle honey in them. The drumming method, as advised by Mr. James Hed den, is as follows; After getting the new hives ready and every frame nicely fitted up with foun elation, proceed to the box hive and give the bees a little smoke. Next turn tb* box hive upside down and place an emp ty box on the top of it, large enough tc hold a good sized swarm of bees. With a stick or a hammer drum on the hive for fifteen or twenty minutes, when the greater partipn of the pees, including the queen, will be in the tipper box> Takeoff the upper box and dump the bees at the entrance of the new hive and they will all rush in. The old hive should be removed a short distance away and the new hive placed where the old one stood. In a few days the comb foundation in the new hive will all be drawn out, and a good sized colony of bees will be start ed. Leave the box hive where it is fo* twenty-one days (generally enougli beesi remain at boma after \he others are tajjen out to, take cafe of the brood). After twenty-one days every bee ii hatched, including all the queen cells, and as no laying queen is in the hive, i\ is entirely destitute of brood, T° T* move the remaining bees proceed as be fore, and then split up the box hive and welt or Mvi tho comb*, wbichevw yw

DIRECT VETO.

Wanganui, July 12. ' A largely attended meeting of thoso interested in the liquor traffic waß held in St Paul's Hall to-night, when the following resolutions were pa-sed unanimously :— (1 ) That, in view of the very serious evil which, in many forms, has resulted from, and which still continues to be caused by, the liquor traffic as carried on in this colony ; in view also that it is evidently hopeless to effect the counteraction of 'that evil from the wdministration of the existing licensing act, this meeting deems it impera tive that for the purpose of such counterac tion, a radical alteration* should at once be made in the laws dealing with such traffic. (2). That this meeting strongly favors the principle of the bill entitled the Elector 1 Districts Alcoholic Liquor Prohibition Ac/-, 1893, by which it is proposed to confer upon the electors a power of direct veto over the liquor traffic. (3) Tint the chairman be directed to send a copy of the previous resolutions passed to Mr A, D. Willis, the member for this district, and at the same time express to him their hope and request that he will, to the utmost of his power, promote the Direct Veto Act in his place in Parlia ment ; that the meeting also direct a copy to be sent to Sir Robert Stout, author of the Bill, and to Rev E. Walker, of the New i Zealand Temperance Alliance.

The Loan and Mercantile Failure.

London, July 12. The Directors of the Loan and Mer cantile Agency Company, are <Jifl«"«'"-« the.advieableness of making a call of £3 per share and asking the bondholders to renew. The Company owes the Bank of New Zealand under £250,000, for which the bank holds securities of an easily realisable character equal to £500,000. No scheme cf reconstruction has yet been arranged, but the Directors of the Loan and Mercantile Agency Company hve. sanguine that they will jet through the task quickly. London, July 13. Loan and Mercantile debentures have fallen 2£ per cent. Melbourne, July 13. The general manager of the Loan and Mercantile has received a cable from Lon don, announcing that the directors have issued a circular, stating that all the necessary measures have been taken for the protection of the company's property and the maintenance of its connections. The Bcheme for the resumption of business is in course of preparation, and will be submitted to the shareholders and debenture-holders at the earliest date possible. Measures are being taken to preserve for the benefit of all concerned, the valuable business that for ho many years has been carried on with so much success. Arrangements have been made for the payment of all outstanding cheques of the company in New Zealand. Pending re construction, the Australian commission and agency business of the company will be continued by the New Zealand Land .Association, and similar arrangements will be made for New Zealand.

You cannot go wrong in buying land at a reasonable price, which^u increasing in value, and becoming less in quantity overy week. Everyone should possess a home that he can call his own, and the properties such as are now offered should not be missed. Toung man, you may feel free and independent now, but you will want to settle down. Be wise and purchase a House and Section by instalments of payment that you will not feel the loss of. Saving leads to wealth ; yet many people go on paying house rent all their lives, and are either unaware how easily they may become house owners instead of rent payers, or singularly neglectful of such opportunities as P. FERRIMAN offers. Do without luxuries for a little while, and buy a Section and House What you are now paying for rent will soon pay the cost of your property. No more landlords, no more rent. Anyone la active employment of any kind can save enough to pay the instalment by cutting down expenses. What many spend in cigars and beer, horatM-acing and c;»rds, would buy a House and Section. Don't hesitate because your earnings are small; make your expenses only a little less than now. Many will be ready to take it off your hands at a profit. It is an axiom in political economy that should be written in letters of gold— The man who lives up to all he owns Is ill prepared for fortunes turns, But who spends less has home and health, Long life himself, his children wealth, Like drops of Water, grainb of sand That m ike the ocean and the land ; The peuny saved to sovereigns grows, What poor men hope, the rich man knows. — B^ker.

f -: Crossbred "Wheats. :- MESSRS JAMES CARTER & CO ., of London, in 1882 commenced a course of experiments in the cro*wferMl>j» tion of WHEATS of various kinds. It is well known that almo-t any variation of quality, character, foiin and colour can be developed in Flowers and V.-getaWes by cross breeding, and fixed permanently by selection. Abo in ths shape of 'I urnipe and Carrot* and other roots, including in the case of Wheat, sqnaro or pointed ears, largo or »mn\\ grain, long or* short srr.iw, or almost ani special quality that may be desired. With well selected parents cross-breeding imparts increased vigor in plants as Wfl'l as in animal* and Wheat, being a setf-fertilizing plant which is bred in-and-in year after year for generations, as is the case with most of our Wheats* Crossing shou'd h«ve the effect of producing more vigorous and productive varieties. This seems to have been confirmed by Messs' Carter's experiments, who, after several years careful selections of the strains produced by crossing were successful in fixing th« diaracteriPtics ot not less than 11 varieties of new Wheats,* which they distributed in 1889 at necessarily fancy prices. The Farmers of this district may be congratulated on the fact that they can now obtain some of the beat of these varieties from tha undersigned A full selection of the eleven sort* were obtained in 1890 by them and given to MR T. SEALY of Riverbank t» experiment with. The following year another district was chosen, and after very careful observation, discarded six out of the eleven as unprofitable. They then last year distributed the remaining five selections among farmer* in different parts of this County and were rewarded by excellent yields, this in the face of the very trying season they had to contend with. As may be supposed th« varieties differ greatly in length and colour ot straw, shape of ears, colour and size ot grain, period of ripening, etc. For instanoe •— Selection F is the earliest ripening Wheat in cultivation, and should prove a great acquisition in the district towards the Hills and in the South, where an early wheat is indispensable. Another variety, Selection G, produces straw of a short, stout description', which cannot be laid by rain or wind. This should be invaluable for sowing on moist land, which in the ordinary varieties of Wheat produces) long straw, likely to be damaged by wind and rain. Other sorts, as Selection I, is practically unassailable by Birds, so that should these sorts come largely into cultivation our feathered tribes will not be able to levy their usual toll on the fanners' crops. Some writer has said there can be no best Wheat for all districts, but only for particular situations, soils, and climates, which the various sorts o Wheat are naturally adapted to. We would recommend our friends to obtain a sufficient quantity of seed of these Hybrid Wheats and test the capabilities of them on their own land. This would undoubtedly lead to far-reaohing results by bringing into general cultivation varieties of Wheat suited to the various soils of the district, of high quality, hardy, and robust in constitution, and a prolific character. The following will describe the five varieties we have to offer :-- SELECTION !•— A bearded wheat, prolific It seem of the variety to sow late and harvest early. Straw, medfem length, well headed. Valuable for late Spring sowing,, SELECTION F-—An early ripening Wheat, eroa when sown late. Straw, medium length ; very long headed j a valuable Wheat) ~""""————— rp he ona< j j, f ora j ß hed with stiff awns whioh Mem to keep off birds and protect it also from wind. Bird and Wind-proof Wheat. SELECTION G.—Straw, short and strong, not likely to be laid by wind or rain} heavy-headed and very prolific Should 'prove invaluable on lands whioh produoe in the ordinary sorts straw so long as to be damaged by bad weather. This is the " Tom Thumb " of the whnat family. SELECTION P.—Straw, medium length, strong, half-drooping habit t very w«ll headed; very productive, and likely to prove ————"———-— valuable Wheat for general purposes. SELECTION B«—Straw, very long, strong, and white j ear a fair length, thiok set j a very productive Wheat. Fob Further Particulars, Apply to FEIEDLANDER BROS.
