Read opinions of Government Inspectors of Stock. Blenheim, Maelbobouoh. In re your remedy for Foot-Rot I have no hesitation m spying it is the most eftectiye I have met, and has been u.ed in the di.triot. under my charge with the best results. 1 have reoommended and shall continue to recommend it to any owners of cheep affected with Foot-Rot, a disease which I regret to soy is so often neglected until it takes euch a strong hold on the flock that it can no longer be ignored, when it might have been easily put down at its first appearance bya littw attention and the use of your remedy. JOHN MOOBE, Inspector ot Stock February 28, 1895. Department of Agriculture, Hawbra. In reply to your requeßt as to my reporting to you my opinion of the re.ult oV your dreesing cheep', at Mr Lysaghfc'e an Mr Nicholas* with your Foot-Rot Speoifib, I have every confidence m saying that the cure was a perfect one, although the weather was very wet and stormy, and the examination was only six day. after the feet had been dressed. Some of the sheep were very badly afieoted, nearly the whole of the foot having rotted off. I should recommend all sheep owners to uto your Specifio if their sheep are troubled "with Foot-rot, as it is easily put on, and I am sure it will give satisfaction.— l remain, youn truly ALEXANDER MONRO, Inspector of Stook, June 22, 1895.

FERRIMAN. — ALLENTON.— I HAVE received instructions to fell 4£ acres of land of first-class quality, J well situated, and within an easj distance of the town. Upon the land is 1 0 erected a very substantial dwelling of seven rooms. This property is well I f worth the attention of buyers either as an investment or for residential J S purposes. ' I • F. FERRIMAN. 5 c _ The Portable Swing "Water Barrow. i Prevention is Better Than Cure j TBE 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 view of the subject being referred to m the public journals, it may be of service to reprint an extract from an issue of the " Nineteenth Century " of laßt year, m which special reference is made to Diphtheria, but which applies with equal force to Typhoid, ! The writer remarks, that the lateßt epidemics m Russia swept away nearly all the children m some villages ; and m Prussia, no less than one-sixth to I one-fourth part of all children dying m the age of from one to five j ears suc- cumbed to Diphtheria^ and the same proportion prevailed m Western Europe as well. Keen interest is being taken m the experiments of the French Doctors, Roux and Tersen ; but Diphtheria, like Anthrax, Cholera, Typhoid, Malaria, and other kindred complaints is due to an infection of the body by special bacteria, caused by the effluvia rising from drains, back yards and premises generally, into and upcm which dairy and kitchen slops have been thrown. Without an infection 'by bacteria or 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 I use, a two-fold benefit is derived. _ 'Ihe fever and diphtheria breeding agencies are removed, and what is otherwise a source of terror becomes an absolute gain, by conveying the wash to pig trough or to the garden. The Portable Barrows can be put to varions kinds of use,. and they are so admirably con- structed that, with them, a child can do work which otherwise requires the strength of mature years. The cost i. comparatively, small. Pogsewiofr ot one becomes an^absolute means of sweetness, comfort and profit. Improved Copper Boilers. 1 have just received direct from the manufacturers a fresh supply of Portable Ccpper Boilers, with patent smoke stack joint, and SemWouble * sheeted frame — galvanised.
