The Press Association reports that Messrs McKerrow and Ritchie have re turned to Wellington from a ■* isit c f in spection to the Marborough district, and foundthesettlers'outlookveryfaisfactory There is a decrease m the rabbits, and the stock on the whole Is looking very well afcer the severe winter. In the Kaikoura district the rabbit pest may ba said to be a thing of the past owing to tho ecblvity of their natural enemy, the stoats, weasels, and ferrets.

VICTORIAN PRODUCE EXPORTS

Tee following are the figures of the ex port of butter, cheeße, rabbits, poultry, fruit and eggs from Viotoria during the year 1894-95:— In 1895 19,065,138;bs of butter were exported as againßt 16,973,9951bs In 1894, showing an in crease of 2,091,1431b5. The export of cheeße for 1895 has been 1,006, 9251bs as against 759,5851bs ia 1894, an increase ol 247,3401ba. 11,340 rabbits and hares wer« exported ia 1894, and m 1895 it was 459,154 carcases, showing an increase of 447,184, 34,029 head of game and poultry were exported m 1890, and only 1350 m 1894. 11,134 cases of fruit were exported m 1895, and 2058 cases m 1894, or an increase of 9076 oases m 18~6. 23,396d0z eggs were exported as against 10,937dcz m 1894. This is a pretty good record. Ib will be noticed chat with the exception of butter and cheese the industry is practically undeveloped. It most also be pointed out that the above figures represent only those shipments made by the department.

CULTIVATING EUROPEAN FLAX

Judging from experiments by Mr Thomas H. Wilson, of Pukekohe (Auck land) it seems as if the cultivation of European flax for the purposes of linen manufacture is a branch of industry affording a profitable opening. Mr Wilson lately grew two acres of European flax, at his farm at Pukekohe West, and sent over half a ton of the product 1o Belfast, Ire land, for sale 10 fUx spinning and weaving works. The first lot, 6cwt and 221 h, worked by water power, realised £3 15a 3d a owt, and the .second lot, 6cwfc lqr 211 b, 60s a cwt. The whole realised a gro&s return of £42 Us, and, after-paying commission, freight, and other charges, the nett balance remitted to Mr Wilson by mail was £37 lib 4,d. The seed was procured from Belfast. The Black staff Flax Spinning and Weaving Company, of Belfast, m remitting the money to Mr Wilson, wrote as follows : — "Comidering how low flax m Ireland ia ihia seaacn, we think you may safely pei severe m growing European flax m New Zealand. This rnatket could absorb thousands of tons similar to (his shipment. If you could aend fl*x by Liverpool, reshipment to Belfast, would be much cheaper, as the rate from London to Belfast w 40s per ton,"

ENRICHING COWS' MILK.

As it is not the quantity of milk that a dairy cow gives which consti utes h.T v*lue, but isiichness m butter fat, es pecially when rtqui ed for the manufac ture of butter, any information on the HjKject. should be of 8s much iaterest to daity farmers m Zealand as else where. Mr Van-Droser, of Cobletkill, New Ycik State, made the following experiment : — Hnving selected four covn for the purpose, they were first fed on a mixture of en- i'age, wheat, bran, maize, m?al, cotton seed oil, and their own milk. A little more than 23ib of their milk made lib of butter. Afterwards th« diet was emich< d by adding beef fat (>r tallow as v. i- called) at the rato of Jib per cow daily and increasing up to 210. At the end of five woik3 the milk of the cows was again tested, when is was found j that 18^'iba of n>ilk produced a p< mid of butter.

In England, the Continent, and many foreign countru s myself and wares are well known- Many American families on their return from abroad bring my articles with them, for they know them pretty well, but you may not be one of these. Confidence between man and man is slow of growth, and when found, its rarity makes it valuable. I ask your confidence and make a reference to this Journal to endorse that confidence. I do not think it will be misplaced, I make the best form of cure — an absolute one — for biliousness and headache that can be found m this year. The cure is so small m it- self, and yet its comfort to you is so great — twenty minutes being its limit when relief comes — that it has become a marvel of its time. One and a half grains of medicine, coated with sugar is my remedy, m the. shape of one small pill, known to commerce as Dr Haydock's New Liver Fill. It is old m the market of Europe, but is new to North America. The price is as low as an honest medicine can be sold at, 25 cents. Send a postal card for a sample vial, to try before you purchase.
