Wattle Culture.

The Press Association telegraphs from Wellington that the experiment of euiti vafcing wattles on a reserve at Wairangi, In the Waikato, plwed under the control of the Department! of Agriculture some years ago, has proved highly socoesfcfu!. Nearly 900 acrea have airway b^en planted, and preparations are being nwde to sow another 12) acres. The reserve •ontains 1400 acres, and ie ia expected that in anofchef year wattles willfoe grow ing all over the property, and the Depart ment will be in a'position to supply excellent bark for tanning purposes at lower rates than are paid for the imported article. A eiin.ll phnt for crashing the bark is on the farm, *nd the erection of a shed for Us accommodation ia just completed. The bark which realises from £6 10s to £7 per ton, is e&ld to be of' first-olaw quality. A number tf settlers in the Waikato are alao onkivat- Ing the wattle, and there ia reason to believe that in a few years New Zealand will be able to produce sufficient bark to meet the requirements of the whole colony.

In order that these crude oils may not be taken, OUR PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT, which is recognised by the medical division of the Prussian Government to be of perfectly pure origin, as their information forwarded to ua through the Consul at Melbourne, March 2, 1878, we t»te :— It proved by testa by the Medical Clinics of the Univeraitiaa at Bonn and Greifswald, Prussia, andreported by Dr. Schuiz,Professor of Parmacpiogy, at Bon, and Professor Dr. Moalor, Director of the Medical Clime at Greifswald, that only products that aia ■aturated with oxygen and freed of acids, resinous and other substances, adherent to primary distillation, will develope the sanative qualities proper to the pant according to these authorities, and according to Professor Dr. Lister, of England, aud to Dra.Bsuer, Mela tire, Wood, Hazard, etc,, of America, is the only extract correspond. ing to scientific teats, and the only one which possesses the proper therapeutic value. SANDER & SON'S EUCALYPTI EXTRACT. All other crude oils, are to be classed mong the turpentines, which have, when used aa medicine, no therapeutic effect, and are abandoned as an internal medicament. Them eo-callad Eucalypti Extract wSiich may have received distinction at Exhibitions as commercial articles are used for mechanical purposes are only discernible. By their deficiency in pundgenfc odour— which our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extracts develops most freely through its surplus of oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear ance being reduced in specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates. If these crude oils, so called eucalypt xtracts, are applied by mistake in cases of roup, bronchitis, diphtheria, internal nflamabions, dysentery, wounds, the consequences are ar-p^lling.

The vendor to receive £1000 in shares, and £500 in cash for the rights acquired by him, the whole interest in, and the title to which are handed over to the Company. It is proposed by the promoters of this Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dhpoße of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which iB increasing daily, will realise a very handsome return to the shareholders. The mixture can be safely applied to al parts of the tree from the fall of the leaf till the bursting of the buds again in Spring. The stem and main branches may be safely dressed at any period of the year. One good dressing will be found a most effectual cure for Scale Blight, and the tree will not re quire further dressing for years, For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheel band's Patent Blight Specific will be found a moat effectual remedy. It will also promote a healthy vigorous growth of wood, and a plentiful crop of prime, clean fruit. The above advantages are admitted by leading Nursery Experts as being the only means of destroying Scale Blight and Codlin Moth, increasing the growth and keeping the tree in a fresh and healthy condition at a cheap and reasonable cost. In confirma tion that the Specific possesses the requisite qualities it ia gratifying to be able to herein add the very satisfactory reports of the ex ceedingly severe tests to which the Specific has been subjected. The specific being manufactured under the care and supervision of the patentee can be sold at the small cost of 10s per gallon, which will undoubtedly leave the Company a handsome profit.
