FARMERS' COLUMN.

BRITISH IMPORTS OP FOREIGN PRODUCE* The following completes our extracts from Mr Valentine's paper on this; subject : — POULTRY AND EGGS came next. Our poultry bill last year waß £805,000. Of this, France claimed £261,500 ; Belgium, £126,000; Russia, £85,417; Holland, £49,318 ; Germany, £39,254 ; Nor' way* £10,610; Denmark, £7523; United Stateßof America, £9523 ; and Australasia about £7000. The value per head of popu lation of these products has ' gradually increased, and (with rabbits) is now about 6d per head as against 4d m 1885, and 2d m 1875. The French imports have slightly fallen off, »nd it is said this is due to the high price of meat m France, owing to which the natives are willing to pay higher prices for poultry than those obtainable m London. 'This goes to show (Mr Valentine avers) that the colonies could drive a good deal of the French import off the market, selling at a slightly cheaper rate. Mr Valentine thinks there is a good opening for a colonial trade m poultry m Great Britain, more especially from the Antipodes. What the colonies must look to is to provide for the spring trade m England, and also for the large bird trade at Christmas. The trade would be a season trade, and have to be specially catered for. As an adjunct to general farm ing managed on co-operative lines it will be very remunerative, and, from Victoria's experience, it is but a matter of time. For spring young chickens must be sent, and m May ducklings will bring good prices. For eggs Great Britain's bill m 1895 was £4,003,440. But m this trade Mr Valentine does not appear to think Australasia can shine. He said Canada appears, owing to her proximity, to haya the best chance of all the odlome.3 to increase her trade m eggs Vfith England. T/he Australasian colonies will never be able to compete with,/ France and the nearer Con.tioental countries m the production of fresh eggs. At the same time a considerable trade can be established by an improved Bystem of conveying eggs m cool chambers, aud the colonies should be able to compete successfully against Russian and Italian and deliver better eggs at a higher price. BABBITS. England's annual rabbit account averages about £300,000; last year it was £315,585, the Australian colonies took abont £22,000, and Balginm £234,289. Mr ' Valentine thinks a much greater proportion should be olaimtcl by Auiiralaaia m the near future, since he believes the colonial rabbit to. be a superior dish to the "stall fed" Belgian bnnny, and can be sent here and sold at a price defying competition. He also stated that there is a dearth of tinned rabbits at the pretent time. . , FEUIT. The Old Country's foreign raw fruit bill was £4,865,825, and the consumption of fruit par head has risen from 2s 5d per head m ISB6 to *boui 3ss : Mr Valentine's remarks m connection with this trade teemed to me to indicate that with the exception of apples Australasia's trade with tha Old Country would be mainly m dried or preserved fruits On the subject of

WINE,

the lecturer was" nob particularly happy. He touched upon the work of the South Australian Depot, and gave some genera! figures relating to the Australian import, but, as he is no authority on the subject, I refrain from quoting more than his con cluding romwko. He said, "To sum up, the United Kingdom, imports annually 14,000,000 gallons of wine. Australia only supplies 400,000 gallons. An improved system of marketing is needed. The cost of cairiage and the heavy duty are serious items, all the same fair remunerative prices can be obtained for sound red and white wines here if properly placed before the public. It would seem to be necessary that, the colonies should cp-opeiate m this trade as a whole. First and foremosb the colonies muab take up the business of wine growing and wuie-makiog on scientific principles, applying special knowledge and trained skill bo.th to the growing and the making. It all means capital, expsnditure, time and money, and the colonies as a whole could bear it better than singly." Oa the subject of honey also Mr Valentine had nothing freah to say, and his remarks upon tobacco, amounted to. an expression of opinion that properly treated the Australian product should equal any other m ordip- a«e, In conclusion the lecture* • • In considering the capabiliti- : r / tien of Australia m tfap ,* s * ld : ■upply, etc., that J ' :f B , of P""* uc : must be borne i- - articles, of food seven Antic ' nftVe r^erred to, it therein v ' « mind that, much as the ! tyr>- ' colonies do, agriculture ..'aas not passed the tentative stage, ofefore, as we leceive produce bo excellent, so varied and m such quantity now, what may we not receive m days to come and near ab hand? Producing^every thing that can be grown, could not Australasia with Canada alone m days to come supply us with all we receive from Europe that we could not produce ourselves ! " .

The Portable Swing \/Vater Barrow. Prevention ie Better Thkii Cure THE few cases of Typhoid m Ashburton Borough and Suburbs afford no ground for a "scare," but it is only by using reasonable precautions that the dread scourge can be kept within bounds. In - vjew of the subject being referred to m the publiejournals, it may be of serviceTo reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century * of lust year, in /which" special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which appließ with ecpalforoe to typhoid. The writer remarks, that the latest epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to one-fourth part of, all children dying^in the age of from one to five j ears suor cmnbed to Diphthieria; »nd the same proportion prevwled m Weßtern Bnrope as well. Keen inter?Bt is being tnkeri m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roax and Tersen ; but Diptitheria^ like Anthrax, Qholeraj typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints jp due to an infection of the body, by special badtefia^caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upon whioh dairy and kitchenr slops have been thrown. Without an infection by bacteria *>r > the .poisons which they secrete, there is no diphtheria. The Portable Wash Barrow is* just the one thing indispensable m the direction of perfect sanitary arrangements; By its use y a two-fold benefit is derived. Ihe fever and diphtheria breeding ag^tfeies are removed, and what is otherwiee a source of terror becomes an absolute/ gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to tbe garden. The Portable Barrowß can be put to vmrions kinds of ob 0; and they are so admirably con- struoted that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise reqnireß the strength of mature years. The cost is comparatively small. Posseßsion ot one becomes an>bsolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. ■ :,.
