_ *_ F As an evidence of the increasing favor with Hampshire Dowu sheep are regarded ftfat Home, the following notice from the Live ? 'Stock Journal will be read with interest : — The sale of the well-known registered Hampshire Down flock of Me K. Ports . mouth, of Sherborne St John, Basingstoke, w^s conducted by Messrs Waters and Rawlence recently. The catalogue com prised sixty ram lambs, which were sent into the^ring m splendid condition, the whole number showing all those valued characteristics which have been obtained by their owner after many years of studious attention and care m the selection of the ■ best representatives of the breed. These made from 40ga downwards, three shearling rams realising from llgp, while the shearling ewes Bold at from 82s, 70s, 61s, down to 50s; ninety-four two-shear ewes 102s (twice), • 100^, 80s, 765, 625, down to 53s ; thirty-five three-* hear ewes, 66s to 53s ; fifty-five full,, mouthed ewet, 55s to 475; and 111 ewe lambs from 102a to 40s. Altogether the sale was considered highly satisfactory. The MarTi Lane Express, giving instances of the early maturing qualities of the Hampshire Downs, states that to suoh a pitch has the instinct of rapid growth been brought m the celebrated Col dArbies flock that some of the lambi have been sold m the Wallingford market, the dressed carcases of which weifithed 921 b at twenty-one weeks old ; and ai instances of its precocity, tegs have been lambed down before they were twelve ' months old ; and ewes have lambed down three times within twelve months. This flock, owned by Mr Alfred de Mornay, has been established over thirty years.

THE PREMIER MAKES A STARTLING SUGGESTION WHICH MAY PROVE AWKWARD FOR SOME PARLIA- MENTARY CANDIDATES I,BE Premier, when speaking at the open- ing ceremony of the Palmerston North Art and Industrial Exhibition on Monday last, said : — <( I must not forget to mention the Ronfc- gen X Rays which are on view, and have done ao much to advance medical science and assist suffering humanity. Now, it any constituency doubted that their mem- ber had any brains, they could get his head photographed m order to see, and I would | strongly advise all constituencies to have the | brain of the candidates photographed before making a choice." This was a most thoughtful suggestion of the Premier. But what is the value of trains without digestion? He should have gone further and recommended the applica- tion of the X Rays to the digestive organs of the whole of Her Majesty's subjects, when ie would have been found that those whe wore m the habit of drinking ordinary teas would find the coating of the stomach con- verted into a sort of partially tanned leather. This causes indigestion, shortens life, and spoils jthe most angelic temper. Suratura Tea being as pure as the lily un- defiled, is not only harmless, but an invigor- ating digestive tonic, and is recommended by ALL who have used it. Note. — An impoitant omission was nearly being made m this advertisement, viz. : — The usual guarantee that Suratura Tea is NOT blended with China or Indian Teas. JOHN ORR &Co., Agents.

Holloway's Pills. —When inclement weather checks to a considerable extent the notion of the skin, an alterative is required 1 to compensate the body by means of other channels. Holloway's Fills can be confi- dently recommended as the easiest, surest, and sliest means of attaining this desirable end without weakening the most delicate or incommoding the most feeble. When from frequently recurring chills or the inhalation of impure air the blood becomes foul and the secretions vitiated, these Pills present a ready and efficient means of cleansing the former and correcting the latter. By this salutary proceeding'disease is arrested at its outset, its pains and inconveniences averted, and the nervous structures saved from the depressing effects entailed upon them by an illness.— (Advt.)
