RUAPUNA.

From Onr Own Correipondeat. AGBIODLTORAIi AND PASTORAL. The open winier has lee all farm work go on ipacc, and as r ganls the sowiug of eropg this season holds the record for earfy sowing. Prospects of a very prolific lambing are anticipated, and as regards feed tbit district has less reaeon to complain than other• nearer tho coast. More attention is being paid to the wants of the lanifaa and nearly > very farmer is either sowing or preparing for the sowing of rape. Numerous deaths have occurred among ewes previous to lamb ing, and various reasons are put forward v to the cause, the general opinion being that a change of food is necessary, deaths being more prevalent in flocks that have bean turniped until close on lambing. WATER QUESTION. The water question has evidently be«n dropped for the present;, bub judging by tha lowness of the races it will crop up again shortly, as soon as the summer sun make* itself felt. Fora certainty, something.will have to be done, and it is only patting off the evil day of meeting the question face to face in some fu&are droughty season. ENTiCKTAINMBNT. Mr Knott gave his interesting lecture and lantern exhihition in the Hall on September 22, bub owing to want af intimation it was bnfc sparsely attended. September 25.

1 GOOD PAVEMENT.

The Wellington Post says that the City Council has received from the Street Superinten dent of Oakland, California, the fol lowing description of the street pavement in uee there. It consists of a concrete foundation six inches in thickness, covered with a wearing surface of bituminous rock two inches thick. The rook, as ordinarily supplied for paving; purposes, contains about 85 per cent, of sand and 15 per cent, of bitumen. The method of treatment is to soften the rock by heating in iron kettles, and while in a disintegrated condition it ia laid upon the concrete foundation and rolled with hot rollers until thoroughly compressed, The cost ia about 25 cents per square foot, which includes all preliminary work of grading the street, laying concrete foundation, and furnishing all labour aud material needed to make the pavement complate. The pavement is noiseless, smooth, sanitary, and quite imperishable as far as the natural elements are concerned, and when well built will stand ex cessive waggon traffic for a number of years,

Dtjnlop, Ashborton and Wellington mmS COMPANY is being formed for JL the purpose of acquiring from the vendor the sole patent rights held and ap plied for by him in the above invention in all parts of the world. 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 thia Company, that when formed, the Company proceed with the manufacture of the Blight Specific, and dispose of the same to the best advantage, and it is confidently anticipated that the sale of the above men tioned specific which ia 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 buda 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 yeara. For Aphis, Red Spider, Codlin Moth, and all Mosses or Lichens, Wheelbaud's Patent Blight Specific will be found a most 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 ie 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 10a per gallon, which will uadoubtediy leave the Company a handsome profit.

We have every facility for competing with the keenest legitimate trade but we never countenance " sweating." We employ first class tradesmen and pay fair wages. A few of our old customers have tried the so-called " cheap suits," and found them " dear at any price," and many new customers who have admired first-class tailoring on their friends have simply remarked—" I want a suit like you made for Mr —-—." Our turnover for the last six months shows the largest amount of business wet have ever done in one season. This fact speaks for itself. We have just opened a splendid assortment of new summer goods in all departments; and by recommend ing only materials we can guarantee, com bined with good fit, best workmanship and style, we have determined to maintain our reputation as " the leading tailors and out fitters." Customers requiring suits for the show are respectfully invited to favor us with their orders &a early as possible as we have already a "rush-' of orders in hand.—
