LABOR

Sydney, May 8 In view of the tact that another strike of shearers is imminent during the ensuing season, the headquarters of the Australian Workers' Union has been removed from Victoria to Sydney. A Convention, representing twenty two thousand workers, is now sitting. The principal subject of discussion is the attitude to be adopted next season.

CHURCH UNION.

Melbourne, May 8

Archbishop Oarr, replying to JBish op Thornton on the question of the Union of the Roman and Anglican Churches, deprecated bis remarks with reference to Rome, and said Bishop Thornton's address was remarkable chiefly as proving the deep and widespread interest the question had aroused. Catholics looked hopefully to the issue but «rere not active disputants in the matter. Whatever the outcome might be, he was certain many Anglicans were yearning for union with Rome, They had adopted Catholic practices and devotions to such an extent that a stranger entering an Anglican Church found it difficult to distinguish the counterfeit from the real. They felt their was an inconsistency in being so near and yet so far from the Catholics.

COLONIAL TIMBER.

Melbourne, May 8

Official reports prepared on the timber resources of the colony reveal the fact that owing to reckless des truction in the past, the colony is barely able to supply its own wants, much less yield a surplus for export.

Agent for Walker's Bot-fly Betnedie's, Ashburton Sib, —I consider it my duty to add my testimony to the marvellous efieota of the remedies I got from you on my horse. He got so bad that I had to lay him up. No matter what I gave him he kept loosing condition and became so weak that he could scarcely stand. I carefuly followed the direc tions on the bottles and shortly after gett ing the last bottle he passed bots, and at once began to mend, and in a few days was fit for hia work. lam confidant only for the remedy he would have died. I can highly recommend it, believJDgit has no equal,— William Stringfellow. Liunston, AugU3t 18, 1894 Mr Heaeltine,—Sir, I 'bink it is only right that I should tell you and my neighboring farmers that I am thoroughly satisfied with Walker's Bot Fly Remedies I got from you. After seeing the state of the stomach of my horse that died, I beoame alarmed about the rest of my stock oh they all looked bad, I drenched eigh h, following carefully the direc tions, It cleaned them out thorou^h'y and in a few days there was a wonderful change for the better I can highly recommend it and would advise farmers to lose no time in drenohing their stock lest they have their horses dropping dead as I had, I believe it to be the only safe and certain cure for the suffering of horses Tames Lemon Ashburton Pork?, March 1, 1894 Mr J Heaeltine. Sir—l am very glad to toll you that Walker's Bot-fly Remedies I got from you proved quite a success with my dying horse. He was ailing for some days, his coat got very dry, the skin tight, a running at the nose and a very bad cough ; and was scarcely able to walk about; we quite expected he would die. I heard a good d6al about Walker's Bot Fly Remedies, end gave it with the most satisfactory results, and shortly after be get the last bottle he began to im prove and by the end of a week was able for work hearty and well I believe it to be a ruedioine unequalled, and can recommend it with all confidenoeto all horse owners, as the beat horse remedy in the market. Edward Corbktt Greenwood Farm, Southbridge, August %, 1892 Mr Walker. Sir,—l am glad to bear testi mony to the wonderful effects of your Bot Fly-fly Remedies; One of my best horses be oame very bad; the ekin tight, the eye life less and a bad color, abd got low in condition Anxious to finish ploughing a paddock I did not want to lay him up until be became un able to lift his feet or do any more. We had to help him into a stable I gave him your Remedies, and tne treatment you pre scribed, and in a few days he was quite better, and now at bis work, hearty and well I quite believe, had I not given him your Remedies, he would have died. You can use this as you please. Robert Thompson Seaside Farm, Wakanui, April 14, 1894 Mr Walker. Dear Sir, —I have great pleasure in informing you that the bot-fly mixture I got from Mr Hedeltine, your agent, was a wonderful success. I had four horses seriously ill on December last. After using all the remedies I could think of I was induced to try your mixture. The result was mar- I vellous, I strictly followed the directions given aud in a week the horees were out of danger and recovering rapidly I drenched two more in February with the same result They all put on flesh rapidly, and are now in prime order P. Stewart MrCross. Burnham, got the Remedy for a horse suffering last year; on reaching home he was dead. This season one took bad, also showing the symptoma. He gave the Remedy, and the second day after, the horse passed bots in hundreds and is doing well.

IMPORTANT TO FARMER*" D. CLARKE'S CARBOLIZED Wheat Protector HAS BEEN USED FIFTY YEARS WITH UNDEVIATING SUCCESS. IT his been amply pioved by the Testi monials of thousands of the First Practical Agriculturists in England, as well as by dozens ot farmers in the Ash burton District, that this preparation materially assists the germination of the scad, causing the young plant to come tip much sooner, and grow more vigorously, protects it to maturity from the ravages of the Slug, Grub, and Wireworm, adds firmness to the straw to support the ear. Seed dressed with this prepa pation may remain for any length of time without sustaining injury, and invariably PRODUCES WHEAT PERFECTLY FREE FROM SMUT. And of greater value than that grown from seed dretsed with other preparations. Local and provincial testimonials can be seen at my office. henryTander, SOLE AGENT FOR ASHBURTON COUNTY. 4*lß fui< »aL~*n 5 A3REB 5 Good Land, fronting Race Coarse Road, just above Mrs Monson's.
