FARMERS' CLOLUMN.

THRESHING BY ELECTRICITY

We learn from the Blairgowrie Advertiser that a large party of agri culturists and others recently assembled lit Dun alia tair Home farm to witness the starting of a new threshing mill with electricity as the motive power. Since Mr Buntine bought the estate between four or five years ago he has spent upon it over £40,000. A mag nificent new steading with every modern improvement has been erected. The mansion and offices have been lighted by electricity, the power being taken from burns coming down the sides of Schiehallion. Two turbines of 12£ horse-power each drive the dynamos. The current is taken be tween 400 and 500 yards to the mansion houße, with branches to the stable and laundry, about 200 yards further, and to the steading, about 250 yards furthor. There a new threshing machine by Mr Abercroniby, Blair gowrie, has been erected, and is drivon by a small motor. On being run for three-quarters of an hour it was found to do its work most efficiently. A stack of oats was threshed at the rate of six quarters an hour, and the machine would have done more work. All who saw the machinery running expressed high satisfaction with the result. At the close of the test speeches were made, m the course of which it was stated that so far as whs known it was the first threshing mill m the United Kingdom to be driven by electricity.

THE CAUSES OF FOOT-ROT IN SHEEP.

Foot-rot oi sheen is considered by some a disease of lazy shepherds. Having had a fair amount of experi ence with sheep, my opinion differs from this. Foot-rot commencing m the onter digital fossa, setting up inflammation of the eentritive struc tures, or as shepherds call it, a chafe, I consider contagious. Foot-rot, start ing with an overgrowth and a seedy condition of the horn at tbe toe, lead ing on to bulging and separation of the fibres, which mostly enclose a stinking, inflammatory exudate, non contagious. In contagious .foot-rot the down breeds become affected more readily than tbe long-wools, because down sheep mostly feed together, while the long-wools are prone to wander m search of food. Now, contagious foot rot seems to me mostly due to heredi tary predisposition— or, as some flock masters say, bred ia the sheep, and m this opinion I thoroughly agree. Some sheep which go through my bands are j never free, while others never show signs of it, although kept on the same land. In the country, one will often see a flock of sheep al ways troubled with it while a neighboring farmer never has the disease m his sheep, notwithstanding that both flocks are of the same breed and are equally well looked after. The disease ap- ' pearing, like canker m the horse, thoroughly constitutional ; if relieved m one foot it breaks out m another Dealing with contagious and non-con tagious foot-rot, the deseased are best separated from . thft healthy; those with the disease should have their feet thoroughly pared to reinoro loose horn, and dressed with bluestone, Barbadoes tar, and one ounce to the pound of liquor erri perchlor. In non-contagi ous foot-rot it is good policy to clear out the flock, or not to breed from any animal which has shown signs of the disease. If flock master* do not, fcot rot seems to trouble them more or less yeir after year, the hereditary tendency alwiiys wandering with the flock; farmers and dealers never caring to buy sheep from a farm so affected. I feel this question is of great im portance to both agriculturists and veterinarians,£as the production of mutton is the backbone of agriculture, and, as prices are now, ono of the few profitable investments on a farm. — Q. Upton, m Veterinary Record.

THE COSTLIEST MEMORIAL WONDOW IN THE WORLD.

CAtinot be appreciated except under favour able circumstances Looking ac it from the outside, embedded m its huge frame, one gets no idea of its beauties, but merely sees the faint outline obscured by the deeper darkoe3B within, and overshadowed by the huilding m which it rests. But go into the quaint old church : stand where the sun's descending ray is softly sifted through the coloured, artistically enamelled and arranged prisms of glass, and you then see blended m one grand whole the beauties of art m har mony pleaßing co tbe dullest eye. One < f the finest memorial tablets m the world is that recently erected by Mr P. Miller of " Glencairn," Upper William Street, Darlinghurst, Sydney. A tablet which memorises his thankfulness, one to which others may look with confidence and adtnira tion, and one which will stand the test of years. The words on tb is tablet are deeply cut m moments of direst agony and pain, and every letter, every character, stands out boldly, carrying invaluable lessons to us all. The text of this tablet is : — " I can speak m the highest terms of Warner's Safe Cure and Pills which I always recommend to my friends. When travelling through the South Sea Islands I suffered very severely from my liver and kidneys, aud consequently consul ted the local doctors, who prescribed for me but without any good effect. I had often been advised by my friends to try Warner's Safe Cure, and as a last resource did bo. Upon giving it a fair trial by taking several bottles I became perfectly well, and have not had any return of the complaint since.

AVER'S PILLS, for Biliousness and Indigestion



NERVOUS DEBILITY Resulting from Impoverished Blood, Cured by the Use of AVER'S SARSAPARILLA. Bo&d the following remarkable testimony of Mrs. M. A. Helleur, of Sussex St., North Adelaide, So. Australia, whose portrait is given above : "Some years ago, I suffered very severely from soreness and general weakness of the system, being so badly affected that I feared even to go from one room to another, on account of the strange otyißs that appeared to flit before me. My doctor, after treating me for some time, without any beneat, at last recommended me to try Ayer's Sarsapanlla. I took his advice, and am pleased to say that the effect was really wonderful. Vigour was Testored to my system, my nerves were strengthened, my spirits brightened, and I was enabled to return to my usual occupations. I might say that several of my friends and relatives have used Ayer's Sarsapanlla with like beneficial results. I believe it to be the best health -restorer that has ever been offered to the suffering masses." AVER'S Sarsapanlla With Highest Awards at the World's Oreat Expositions:
