Sydney Sheep Sales

Sydney, July 6 Tbis year a charge of 2s 6d was made for admission to the sheep sales, which, it was announced, would go to charities. The charge did not prove a bar to the attendance, for the rooms were thronged all day by an eager crowd. Following last year's practice merinos were sold first. Today's catalogue was confined to New South "Wales sheep, and the results were satisfactory to breeders. Prices were not sensational, but still reached a good limit. Bidding was keen and spirited. A selection of Havilah stock produced the top price animal at 115ge. A small lot of four stud rams averaged 26gs each, but the best all round results were obtained by Mr McGaughey's stud of Vermont blood. Six rams averaged 45£gs each, and seven ewes from the same flock averaged 21gs. Mr \tcGaughey's eight ewes averaged 25|gs. At the conclusion of the day a dozen imported rams from Germany, of the Steiger strain, averaged 33^gs ; for one of them lOlgs were given. July 7 258 sheep were sold yesterday, averaging £14 5s 9d.

The J. O. Ward Associa tion.

Inveroargill, 3 uly 6 At a meeting of the J. G. Ward Farmers' Association on SSaturdayy y it was decided to adjourn fora week, to enable the farmers who could not reach town owing, to the floods, to attend. The chairman, Mr Ward, ■ delivered a short speech. A motion was passed unanimously expressing sympathy with Mr Ward m his present troubles, and assuring him of their unabated confidence and hoping that he will Boon be able to extri cate himself from his unfortunate position. Mr J. G. Ward and Mr J. Lee-Smith addressed a crowded meeting at the theatre to-night, Mr Ward dealt with his trans actions with the Colonial Bank, and asserted that the famous £30,000 draft against oats was retired by cash. He spoke at great length against the local morning paper and his political enemies* Mr Lee-Smith. j narrated the circumstances that led up the offer of purchase of the assets of the J. G. Ward Farmers' Association from the liquid ators of the Colonial Bank. Both gentle men's statements were well received, and Mr Ward was frequently applauded. A vote of thanks to the latter and an expres sion of unabated confidence, and of thanks to Mr Lee-Smith, was carried unanimously. At a meeting of friends of Mr J. G. W»rd this afternoon it was decided to inaugurate a testimonial of a national character, to be presented to him as a mark, of sympathy, the whole of the funds to be devoted to the benefit of Mra Ward and family. Over two hundred guineas were-, subscribed m the room.

WHAT BATES WANTED TO KNOW.

' I shall be obliged if you oan answer me one question,' said my friend Bate?, aa he lay on the couoh one cUy m my room, nurs ing his aching leg. ' Why does exposure to #et or cold bring on aa att&ok of rheumatism .at one time, when a like exposure for a score of time 8 leads to no suoh result ? ' Before I set down m wriliDg the answer I gave him I wish yon would read the following letters, as no doubt the authors of them will be interested m the S3m9 point. ' In November, 1892,' says the one, * I bad an attack of rheuma'.io fever, and was ocn fined to my bed for four week?, during whioh time I suffered fearfully. I had awful pains all over me ; my joints swelled, and I was so helpless I could not raise my hand to my month, After the fever left me I wbb extremely weak, and so emaoiated I was little more than skin and bone. A large lamp, the size of an egg, formed on my elbow, and my fingers were almost drawn out of joint. I cannot describe the Buffering £ had to beer. The doctor ordered me various medicines, and ood liver oi 1 , but they had no effeot. In February, 1893, I read m a small book about the remarkable Buooess whioh had followed the use of Mother Seigel's Syrup m oases of rheumatism, and got a bottle from Messrs Levtrett and Fry, High Btreet. After taking it two weeks I was better, and m about a month more all rheu matic pains had left me, and I was strong and well as ever. You may publish what I have said. (Signed) John H Kent. 9. Randall Btreet, B£aidstone, Kent, January 301 b, 1895. ' • For many years,' pays the other, 'I had been subjpotto liver oomplaint and indigestion. I was habitually heavy, weak, and weary. My appetite was poor, and all food gave me pain and fulness at the cheat and around the sides. I hud so much pain and tightness of the oneßtthßt I oould not endure the pressure of my oloihing upon it. Although not laid up, I waß seldom free from pain or a sense of discomfort. In the summer of 1893 I began to suffer rheumatism, wbioh affeoted my arms and shoulders until I had not the power to lift my hand to my head. I tried all sorts of linimf nts, embrooations, and rubbing oils, but got no benefit from any of them . 1 In August, 1893, my friend, Mrs Owen, told me how muoh good Mother Seigel'a Syiup had done her for rheumatism, and I got a bottle from the Drug Stores m Sr. Ann's Road. In a few days I was much better, and m less thßn a month afterwards a'l piin had left me ; and I am. happy to say I have never had any return of the rheumatism sinoe, but have ev joyed the best of health m every respect. In common thankfulness for my spaedy and wonderful deliverance, I willingly consent to the publication of this burried statement Ehould you wish to make that use of it. (S gned) (Mrs) h. S, Oole, 6, Albert Road, South Tottenham, London, Augnst 16th, 1895.' I Before answering the question of my friend Bates (wbo was a ohronio rheumatio) I asked him : ' Why does a lighted match, dropped into the road, die out harmlessly, but when dropped into a hayriok, Bet np a oo&flagration ? ' Any fool oan answer that he said,' * Beoaufie m the one oase there is nothing for ' the fire to oatoh hold of, while m the other there is.' ' Exactly ' I responded. Now Bee. Indi gestion and liver complaint (>he second eon* sequent on the first) continue to produce a virulent poison m the blood called urio acid, praotioally insoluble m water. This acid, whioh is a solid, enters the tissues, and sets going a hot inflammatory fire. Tbat is rheu matism. It does what a sliver would—only the acid is * po'son Bliver. * When the indigestion ard the liver trouble aie not very bad, and the kidneys and sweat glands of the ekin are acting fairly well, ihis aoid is carried out of the body about as faßt as it is formed. Exposure then briegs on no rheumatism* Bat, per contra, when the stomach and liver are m bad condition, the aoid forms faster than the kidneys and skin can carry it off. Then expose yourself, get cold or wet, hamper the skin and kidneys still more, and the poisonaoid spreads through your mu ßoles and joints like the fire m the dry hay. You understand? Very well. The longer the cause persißts the more fre quent the rheomatio attaoks, That is why ohronio dyspeptics are apt also to be ohronio rheumatioi?. Fend off dyspepsia, or cure it by the use of Mother Beigel's Syrup, and you and the rheumatism will have no dealings. Neglept it, and suffer every time you oatoh cold.' That was my answer to Bates, and he said there seemed to be sense m it.

Who have the Wholesale and 'Retail Agency for Nimmo and Blair's ' Standard ' Seeds. CABBAGE. * LAMB'S EARLIEST OF ALL.' A Superior Early Cabbage of Quiok growth, with, beautiful white compact heads. A variety introduced some eight years ago, and Bince then it has become generally grown for an early crop for market-garden purposes, and m private gardens. Ib grows a beautiful, conical- Bhaped head, few outside leaves, and comes m about ten days earlier than Early York. Ihe quality is very fine, and for early sowing for summer use ifc is superior to any other grown. Per loz, Is 6d ; per lib, 4s ; per packet, 6d. Mr Thomas MoCombe, Eveline, Oamaru, says :—• I have no Cabbage to equal Lamb's earliest of All. Ah Gis, Chinese Gardener, Timarn, says : — Your Lamb's Earliest of AH Cabbaae I can «pe»k highly of for being early and of excellent quality. I will grow no other early cabbage.' CABBAGE. •BLAIR'S PHENOMENAL/ The Finesb Main Crop Cabbage ever introduced, The heads are as solid as a stone and weighing from Hlbs to IBlbs. This is un- doubtedly the Best Cabbage for market gardeners. The raise ** of this superior cihbage classes ifc as a second early or main orop variety, coming into use about the same time as Enfield Market; but for quality and appearance, when growing and cut for market is scperior m every way, and unlike some varieties, it has no tendency to run to seed ; a thing much desired m Cabbages. Per packet, 6d ; per loz, Is (Jd : per £lb, sa. Mr Walter Strbtton, Peep O* Day, Birmingham, says :—« Blair's Phenomenal with me, is the finest market-garden cabbage I have ever seen. I have been cutting Bplendid cabbages for six weeks, with every appcarat.ee of cutting them for six weeks more, aud all from one sowing.' Mr James Carmiohael,, Bangiora, saya : — * Your Blair's Phenomenal Cabbage sup- plied to me, has given great satisfaction. It is a grand main crop cabbage, of solid weight; and what pleased me more than anything was the absence of blight on it when other kinds, grown side-by side, were completely covered with it.' NEW~~ONION. 'EARLY GOLDEN GLOBE. 1 It grows a Large Bulb, and as sound as a cricket ball. This is one of the finest exhibition onions evtr raised. It is of a perfect globular shape, being almost round, with a very .small necfr, s-kin of a golden straw color, 9 ml can be grown to an enormous siza, tn-ny Lu'bs bting fully t«o pounds weight. For market gardeners, this Onion is beyond doubt the finest that can be grown for nnle. Per packet, U ; per oz, 1, <j;l ; per $lb, sj. • Mr Georgk Pat^gakko, Gardener at Blue Cliffs, says:— 'Your Early Golden Globe Onion turned out splendidly. It is a heavy cropper, with very thin neck ; the quality is excellent, and of mild fl uror,* Mr G H Evans, Waikaka, says •— • Your Early Golden G'obe Onion gave a splendid crop of well- flavored, firm, and gofd-s'zed handsome bulbs, with small necks, and three or four weeks earlier than James' Keeping.' — NEW- CABBAGE LETTUCE. •ZEALANDIA.' This new variety is of unusual size and solidity of head, with but little inclination to run to seed, as is the case with most Lettuces. It is of a ready blanching habit, is crisp, and of excellent flavour, lor market gardening or private use there is no Lettuce grown to give the general satisfac- tion Zealandia -will, and for a saleable Lettuce it is very superior. Per packet, 6d ; per oz, Is 6d ZEALANDIA LETTUCE is an Excellent variety for Market Gardeners. PEAS. REV DR STUART* Since introducing this Pea last year, we have received so many flattering testi- monials of its merits that we are convinced it is the Pea of the day. Its habit of growth is dwarf and sturdy, growing about 15 inohes high, and does not necessarily require staking, thereby commending itself to all growers of Peas. It is very prolific, and carries one mass of pods from top to botton of haulm, of a beautiful green color, with a quality of flavor seldom found m other kindß, and, under favorable growing, the polls will carry from 8 to 12 Peas of a large size.
