In Taranaki, tho butter factories pay for milk, not by the gallon, but 101 per lb for the ' fat' in the milk as ascertained by a Bibcock tester. The average quan ti-y of *fafc' is about 4bs per lOOlbs (mu ;hly 10 gallons) of milk; but the quality varied daring August, and amoru* 53 sup-pliers, from 3 42 per cent to 4 89, these figures also r* presenting the price paid in pence per lOlhs of mik according uo the quality as indicated by the quantity of ' fat' contained. The quantity of but ter produced exceeds, as a rule, the quai - tity of *£at,' sometimes by nearly one-*ixth. A t the Stafford School dairy during August, the average number of lbs ' of butter produced per lb of ' fat * was 109 lb, and of cheese 255 lb. Hence at 10i per lb for 'fat' the milk surplier re ceived tha equivalent of nearly 9|d lb for butter and 4dyer lb for cheese without the trouble of making them. .

ALEXANDER THE GREAT was terribly annoyed when, through the lameness of his Cavalry horses, he was obliged to halt the entire army while the horses rested, and their feet grew. If he had only known (but he didnt) that a certain farmer had a horse which was lame for six months, and said he (the farmer) "I tried everywhere and every thing, but it was all no use, until I heard of KINGSTON. I sent for him, and in three weeks the horse was at work, and is perfectly sound. I wish I had known before." Why didn't he ?

FOR MEDICINAL PURPOSES—It is Invaluable for maintaining alkalescence of the blood, and, therefore, this particular water will be much more beneficial for that purpose than preparations of mineral water much stronger, artificially pro duced. I may compare the Wal-rongoa Springs to the celebrated mineral springs at Plombieres, in Prance, where the late Emperor Napoleon 111 often visited for the purpose of benefiting his health.
