SALT FOR FRUIT TREES.

A fruit-growor says :— (4 To encourage the I growth of fruit trees it is recommended to,! sow a pint, of salt for each tree The Bait keeps? away iuseets that injure the roots, and renders the soil more capable of sustaining p'aut growth.

SHEARING TALLIES.

CLOVER AS A FERTILISER.

The rh mist tells us that clo-er hay ia wo(thsS,2o as maDure, if returned to the land, if this is so, where can we get manure so cheap? The Bame authority states that the roots supply as much plant food as the top growth. How few of us appreciate the true value of clover as a , fertiliser. How to use clover on lands to secure the best results is a question that the best farmers are not agreed on, but one worthy of the most useful consideration. — Pioneer Press,

THE LIVE CATTLE TRADE.

Under ordinary circumstances the scenes connected with cattle traffic at sea are some thing painful m the extreme- In a storm the horrors are intensified. A Danish cattle steamer arrived lately at Hamburg, after a most dangerous passage. She had been re garded as lost. Soon after leaving Esbjerg a storm came on, and the vessel was driven towards the English coast. The captain had the hatchways battened down, and as a result, of the 255 head of cattle on board many were suffocated, and others trampled to death or seriously injured. Their bellow ing, as the crew said, was heard above the howling of the storm . Wh en the hatchways were opened m the presence of the veterinary inspectors at Hamburg a dreadful spectacle presented itself* Of the cattle 124 were still alive, and could be taken to the quarantine station. But 100 lay dead, and the others were so badly injured as to neces sitate their being killed on board.

OAMARU GRAIN MARKET.

The North Otago Times of yesterday re ports :— Farmers are m the best of spirits, for the crops are generally heavy, and have been saved m good condition, although th9re is a considerable quantity of grain that has been cut too green and threshed out of the stook much to its detriment. This, however, is the exception, and the bulk of the wheat brought to town and offered ia of first rate quality. Several lines of wheat sold to-day at 3s 6cl at Oamaru (sacks extra) ; and some transactions have been deferred owing to farmers wanting that figure at their own sidings, or the siding nearest their farms. Several parcels have also changed hands at 33 5d cash, (sacks extra),, and inferior lines are at from 2s lid to 3a Id. We heard of a line of 2400 sacks being sold at 3s 6d at Oamaru. There is a manifest improvement i m the Old Country, but the prices offering m Oamaru are much m excess of the possible returns from shipment to London at 29a 9d, and Sydney will rule the market. Oats are easier at Is 5d to Is 6d for best short oats and up to Is 4d for long oats. Some of the long oats are on the thin side, and will not i do for shipment. The demand for barley is i active at up t 33 3d for prime malting and 9d for feed sorts.

CHRISTCHURCH GRAIN AND PRODUCE MARKET.

The Lyttelton Times of yesterday reports : Farmers were In evidence m town on Saturday, but the transactions m the grain market were of a meagre nature. White wheats show an inclination to weaken, but millers' mixed samples still maintain full ! quotations. There are many inquiries for oats, but farmers' valuations stand m the way of business Good heavy samples of oatsheaf chaff are scarce, and command up 1 o 50s at country stations, hut the bulk of the samples offerine are of very poor quality, and for those 453 is full value. The first grain Bale of the season was held on Satur day, when there was a fair attendance, but not much disposition was shown to specu late. A small line of good wheat brought 3s 4d ex store, and some feed barley 2s per bushel. The following are current prices : — Whbat.— Old, 3s 6d to 3i 8d ; new, 3s 4d to 3s 6d. Oats. — Prime milling, 23 to 2s Id ; short feed, Is lOd to 2a ; Duns, Is 103.
