A NEW FRUIT.

A writer m the Canadian Horticulturist says that the strawberry-iaspberry ia not generally known. It is a native of Japan, and is described as a magnificent fruit. In manner of growth it ia some what simil»r to the common raspberry. The young plants commence bearing when only about 2m. high, and full-grown bushes yield heavy crops of fruib. The j leaves of the plant are somewhat like a rosetawh. The fruit i« of large size, a brilliant red color, and very deliciously flavoured ; it resembles a huge strawberry very much, and heneo the name—straw berry-raspberry. Being such a fine fruit, and so different from all othet kinds, it will na doubt be widely cultivated when better known. It can be used for every purpose that strawberries and raspberries are put to. In regard to hardiness, it Will succeed over a wide range of oountry.

TESTING WHEAT SAMPLES.

A number of interesting experiments With samples of foreign wheats have just been concluded by Mr D. Williams, of Dlmboola, Victoria. Duriag a recent tour of the world Mr V. P. Fraser, o£ Flinders lane, Melbourne, collected to gether small parcels of wheat indigenous to the oonntriea he visited, and several of these were sown this season by Mr Wilson. The bestresnltß were obtained from the Oalifornian and Italian samples, the return from 602s of the former being 14&lb of oleaned wheat, and from the latter 171 b from 7oz. The other returns were— Bombay wheat, 2oz sown, 21b leaped j Hungarian, 2£lb from 4oz ; Eng lish rough chaff, lib from l$oz ; and Egyptian mummy, 2lb from 2oz. The last-named sample was taken from the hands cf a mummy embalnred 2000 years ago, and m appearance is not unlike rye, very dark and unfit for flour milling. The season being an unusually trying one, the results may be taken as a criterion of how the various wheats would suit climates such as the Wimmera. The Italian wheat is not unlki brown Tusoan In appearance, and apparently answers all requirements.

OUR FROZEN MEAT EXPORTS.

The statistics of the frczm meat ex ported from New Zealand during the six month?, ending 31»fc of December last, compiled by Mr P. Cunningham, of Christchurch, have been publlt-hed. The export of mutton m 1895 as compared with 1894, is pret'y stationary m regard to the number of carcases, but showd an increase of legs and pieces and an increase m the total weieht, which has risen from 98,716 617 to 99.838,9291 b. The export of lamb and beef shows a^ much larger expansion m each case. No fewer than 716,696 oarers of lamb, weighing 2b\619,7371b5, WPre sent Home Jas - y e . ar t compared with 490,341 carcases weighing 17,819.885!bs m 1894. The export of beef sprang from 192, 6021 bs m 1894 ro 1,580 8561bs m 1895 Ten years ago the total export of meat from New Zea'and j amounted to only 38 758 1601bs ; last year it. bad risen to the imposing total of 128 059,5221b3. In oher words it has increased to about 3£ times its vo'ume m 1886. Even as compared wiih 1894 the total exports of frozm meat increased by nearly 10 per cent, hiving risen from 116.729,1041bs to 128,039, 5221b5. This must be regarded as very gratifying Ie may be interesting to add that Lyttelron exports as much frozen muttcn and lamb as any other two ports m the colony put together ; Napier corns uexfc on the list, Timaru third, and Wellington fourth.

THE WHEAT CROPS OF 1895

New York Journal of Commeice, Dec 7.) Brads treat's computation of the quantity of wheat stock 4 m this country and Canada, m Europe »nd afl -at, and m Australia, on July 1 1895 was Materially less than m 1894 and it. 18P3, bur muc-i m excess < f the »tocks on that date m ea-?h of the four preci ding years But for present purposes it is sufficient to notice that tie world's wheat stocks were about > 18,000 000 bushe-H le a on July I 'last than on the same date the ye*r hi f re, that the crops of 1895 are a good deal less than those of 1894, yet the export from this oountry and Canada since then has been nearly a quT'er lesi than m the sanr* parr of last year, and the E iglish impo' - tation frora all parts aggregated was but little grea'er dining I ho past autumn lhan during the autumn of 1894 The English crops of this year were generally the worst for very miny years. The London Miller's estimate of the wheat crop is more than 20,000 000 bushels below that of last year. The Bulletin des Holies estimates the French wheat crop at 32,000,000 bushels less than last year, though the Minister of Agriculture makes ths difference less than 3.000 009 bushels On the baeii of the latter France would about supply its own demands ; on the basis of the fotraer It woald probably have to import, for there is a decrease of 3,600,000 bushels m the rye and rasslin crops, according to reports summarised by our Department of Agriculture, which concludes that the French wheat crop will be a little more than 5,000,000 bashels below that of last year. The reports collected by the European sgant of our Department of Agriculture indicate a decrease of 7,000,000 bushels m the German wheat crop, but offer no esti mate of rye, which is used very much more m Germany than m Franco. The Italian crop is stated to be less than lasc year by 16,200,000 bushels. The Spanish crop is officially estimated to be 13,600,000 below that of last year. Boumania re ports a considerable increase m the wheat crop, but of course it is one of the minor sources of supply ; Greece reports a short ctop. The of reoent and earlier orop reports from Russia, with allowances for some differences m the bases of the reports, satisfies the Liver pool Com Trade News that the Russian wheat crop, including the Poland and the Cancasus, Is about 40,000,000 bushels lesa than last year, and that the rye crop is 145,000, 0p0 bushel's less than last year. Bub Russia has a considerable surplus of wheat.and m ten months of the calendar year Russia sent to England about seven million hundredweight of wheat more than m the same portion of 1894.
