HARVEST AND HARVEST WORK.

XO THE EDITOR

Sir, — Referring to Ihe letter of "Public Intetest," published in your last uoder the above heading, no doubt as stated by him " the crops looked well," but he is very far wrong in saying that the recent heavy winds did no damage to the crops, but only to apple orchards and to grass, which accord ing to him has Buffered slightly. I muetbeg your correspondent to confine himself to factß. For myself, I will only ppeak of what I know. Iu our district— the Porks — I have a neighbor who has lost £80 in grass seed, and as to the oats, the greater part will not pay for threshing 'I he wheat in many places is so twisted about tint the roots are damaged, and it cannot fill properly in consequence. Now, I will speak ua to myself. I have cut about twenty acres of barb y, and the man who cut it for me says I have lost eight hushels to the acre. As >o what your correspondent says about; nt.ook ing, 1 would point out that if a man tak°s a contract for btooking, and covenants to keep the stooks up, he receives more morey than \i he did not so covenant. Would your correspondent like to lie in bed for, say, a fortnight between stooking and forking, and live on tha poor farmer. I would like ** Public Interest " to try farming, whether he has the ready money or not, to see whether he could pay interest of money and rent of land. In conclusion, I may add that there are men who are always crying ''Give! Give!" when there is nothing to give. — I am, etc., E. Coebktt, Forks.

WATER VERSUS WHISKY.

TO TIIK EDITOR. Sib,— Formerly things were kept lively here — unkind people aaid owing to the in fluence of whisky. Now alas, whisky ie not, water prodominates, and keep3 the whole district in a Bwither. The storm water is the chief trouble, and a proposal for turning it into the Rakaia through Mr Brown's property commands Borne support, being at the same time strenuously opposed by those who fear the effect will be the creation of an i enormous chasm and the practical destruc tion of an immense amount or land. How ever, if it is true as reported, that Govern ment has purchased the property, Mr Brown cannot be expected to take much interest in the matter. By the decision of the Court, and in the opinion 1 trudt. of the great bulk of the ratepayers, the stoim water should flow down the natural channels that existed before fencing, and of course be kept off the roads. And we, the ratepayers, are called upon to pay heavily through the action of ©ne or two individuals ktryiug to fence tie water off the land and on to the public road. We do not want more law, but it is currently leporied that a majority of the Board are in favor of reducing the level of a road at Laurinton to please Mr Pent, who threatens Segal proceedings if his request is not com plied with. The Board htvifig acted with guch extreme Hbera'ity in letting Mr Dent off cost.?, for which he is legally liable, Mr Dent finds law cbe*p ; bat kuowiog the Lauriston distriofc intimately, I strongly arg© the Hoard not. to interfere with the road except by ordor of the Court, If the 3ot,rd, uA> the request of Mr Dan*-, alter the level of <t road that has been made fora very long time, ihe reault must be 1o divert a lot of storm water und fl »od out tho Lauriston township and some adjacent lands. We will then certainly have to face a very serious iawsuit. Road Boards and their membera #re not above the law, &nd should they persist in thiir intention it ia nuite possible they tn»y find themselves individu ally liable, aud I trust that the majority of the ratepayers will agree with me that it will SKrve them right.— lam, etc., PArBPAYEB Aiethrea, January 13, 1896.

EASTERN NEWS.

JAPANESE STEAM SERVICES.

Sydney, January 13 News by the China mail steamer shows that at a recent meeting or shareholders in the Japanese mail line of steamers, it was unanimously decided to extend the service to Europe, America and Australia. It is proposed to commence the service to Europe . at an early date with steamers. AFFAIRS IN COREA. Towards the end of last November an attempt was made by a number of the old disbanded bodyguard assisted by the foreign trained portion of the present guavd to cap ture the palace at Seoul, the capital of Corea, ! and assassinate the Cabinet Ministers. It I h>s transpired that the chief instigator was Lishanshin, ex-Minißter of Commerce, who ever since the tragic events of October had been the guest of the Russian legation, and been in close concact with Russian officials. Its premature discovery by the Government aided in the defeat of the plot. Lishanshin fled aboard a Russian warship which im mediately put to sea. The implication of the Russians caused great importance to be attached to the affair.

Formosa continues in a very disturbed state, the Japanese finding great difficulty in subduing the insurgents. A small band of Japanese soldiers which was recently ordered to Faibyo to suppress mobs was at tacked by a thousand natives. After con siderable fighting the insurgents were dis persed. Six of the rebels and one Japanese Boldier were killed. Another detaohment which was detailed to subdue the rioting along the Tamsui river encountered a stub* born resistance. Between two and three hundred insurgents were killed, while the losses on the Japanese side were only slight, though a large number were wounded. Ou the same day a reconnoitring party was attacked by native?, fifty of the latter and three Japanese being killed.

The Dog, the Man and the Meat.

A friend of mine and I were walking to gether the other day ; a dog dashed past us after something he saw on the pavement. It was a big piece of meat, lie pounced on it and swallowed it in two seconds. My companion looked at the dog with envious admiration. 'My humble friend,' he said, 'I'll give you £5000 for your appetite and your digestion. You are not afraid to eat; I am.' But the dog knew what happiness is made of. He declined the offer and trotted away.

It is astonishing how many different people use this expression. ' I am ' or ' I was ' afraid to eat. As the writer pens theße lines five letters lie on the table before him, every one of them containing it. Yet the persons who wrote the letters are not known to one another. There was, therefore, no agree ment among them. Why should there be, even if they were acquainted ?

No, there is nothing in it to wonder at. They went through the same experience, and express it in the most natural way, that s all.

But what does it mean 1 Are people suspicious of poisoned food ? No, no ; that is not so. The food is not poisoned before it is eiteu, but afterwards. An example will show what really occurs, and why so many are afraid to eafc.

We quote from one of the letters : * One night, early in 1892,' says the writer, 'I was seized with dreadful pains in the pit of the stomach, and a choking sensation in tho throat I feared I was going to die. My wife called in a neighbour. They applied hot flinnels and turpentine, but I got no relief. Then a doctor came and gave me medicine. He said he never Baw anyone's tongue in such a condition. It was a yellow colour, and covered with a slimy phlegm, so thick I could have scraped it with a knife. 1 had a foul, bitter taste in the mouth, and my eyes were so dull, I could pcarcfly see. I had a heavy pain in the side, and felt so dejected and miserable I didn't know what to do with myself. What little food I took gave me so much pain I was afraid to eat. The doctor put me on starvation diet, aud injected morphine to ease the pain. • Getting no real benefit; irom the first doctor I saw another, who said I had enlargement of the liver. He gave me medicine.", but I got no better. In August I went to Kjcmout h to see what my native air would do for me, hut came back worse than ever. I had lost over three stone in weight, and being too weak to move about I used to lie on the couoh most of the time. I never expected to get well, and didn't care much what became of me

'One day in October my wife said, 'It appear? the doctors can do nothing for you, so lam going to doctor you myself.' She went to the Southern Drug Stores, in Camnarwell Road, and got a bottle of Mother Seigel's Curative Syrup. After taking this medicine for a few days the pain in t»y stomach left me, my appetite improved, and X gained some strength. Soon afterwards I- was back at my work. The people in the office, seeing how well I looked, asked what had cured me, and 1 answered Mother Seigel's Syrup. I shall be glad to reply to any inquiries about my case. (Signed) Charles Harris, 74, Beresford Street, Camberwel), London. December 1, 1892.'

Mr Harriß* statement goes straight to the poin*. Why was he afraid to eat ? Because pis food gave him pain without giving him strength. This was dead wrong. It was exactly the reverse of what itßhouid have been. When a man is in proper form he gets vigor and power' from his meals, and eats thnm with eDJoyment and relish. If he doesn't there is something the matter with him. What is it?

Now let your thoughts expand a bit, so as to take in a broad principle. One man's meat is another man's poison, they say. That's so, bub it's only half the truth. Any man's meat is any man's poison, under certain conditions. If graia never got, any further than the mill hopper we should never have .bread, and if bread (or other food) never got further than the stomach we should never have strength See ? Well, when the efcojnach is torpd, inflamed, and "on strike," what happens 1 Why, your food lies in it and rots. The fermentation produces poisons whiph get into the blood and kick up the worst sort of mischief all over the body. This is indigestion and dyspepsia, though the doctors call each and every trick of it by a separate name. Yet they don't cure it, whioh is the main thing after all.

But Mother Seigel's Curative Pycup does, as Mr Harris says, and as thousand of others
