HARVEST NEWS.

(From an exchange)

With the improvement m the weather Southland crops are now rapidly ripening, and m some parts harvesting haß commenced. The yield of oats promises to be well up to the average. The teason has been very favorable for turnips, and good crops are the rule, so that there should be no lack of winter feed. . ._, . . The orops all over Taien Plain— from Outram to AllantoD, and north of & to Henley— present one vast magnificent spectacle; a sight for the gods. Nothing finer, or even as fine, has been known of ■uoh a fruitful cereal increase as that of the present Season for many years. A sixty to seventy bushel average will be quite a common return.

Arab and English Thorough breds.

{Book of the Horse.)

la the preoeding pages are embodied the opinions of writers who are enthusiastic admirers of the Arab, who have been charmed by his endurance, his fire and oourage, and not a little by his piotures^ue ness, If such a term may be applied to a horae. Bab m order to do justice to thiß subject I shall present the other side of the question, m the words of one who waa, m all that oonoernß the horse, m the strictest Sense of the word, an expert — one who had been engaged m dealing m the beat claaß of horses ail his life; who has bred horses, trained them, ridden them, on the road, m the field, and over the steeplechase course ; driven, bought, and sold them ; who was as much at home m the horse world of Spain and France as of England— the late Mr Thomas Kice, who, being educated as a veterinary surgeon, managed the late Lord Dalling's stud when he was our ambassador m Spain. These ate his answers to a series of searohing questions :— " Do I like Arabs ! No. la my opinion they h*ve noc one point to recommend them for use m England m which they are not excelled by our own thoroughbreds. They are, with very rare exceptions, very bad haoks ; they oannot walk without stumbling — In fact, they are always stumbling ; they have no true aotion m either trot or canter ; they are slow m their gallop, as compared with any well-bred English blood-horse. They are too small for hunting or for first-class harness, and cannot race with oommon English platers. All I ever saw were so formed, with the croup higher than the withers, that they rode down hill. When I waß living m Spain, the Emperor of the French, for whom I bad pro cured some high-class Spanish parade horses, presented me with two Arabs of the highest c*ste— purohased without limit as to price, m the neighbourhood of Damascus — a black and a grey. They were as handsome at first night as any picture of Arabß that I ever saw; about 14 hands 3 inches high, very temperate to ride, with great power m their hind-quartere, bu.b wanting that slope m the shoulders, and that proportionate length, breadth, aud power m motion, which are essential to make first-class riding action. I had at that time English thorough breds and halfbreds, Spanish mares of the carnero or Don Carlos breed, half-breeds between the English blood-horse, Kedger (bj Sheet Anchor) and Spanish mares. These Arab?, which had cost, perhaps — not count ing political influence--£IOOO apiece, were inferior m hack action and as hacks to English or Spanish horses of one-tenth the ooßt. I rode the grey with a pack of harriers I kept ; he was an unpleasant hack, and no hunter. I trained them both, and they were distanced by horses bred out of Spanish mares by my English blood-horse ; finally, I put them to the stud, and their produce out of some twenty of my best Spanish mares were inferior m size, early maturity, and market value, to the stock of my blood horse. To sum up, Araba are very bad hacks, they are too small for hunters, even where exceptionally they have hunting con formation ; too small and too devoid of elegant action for harness, and too alow for racehorses ; as sires, they are inferior to the English blood horses of power and symmetry, whioh are to be purohased when too slow for racing at a less price than a high-caste Arab.

THE WEATHER.

ALFORD STATION. The following is the meteorological report for the week ending March 11, 1898 :—

Tinwald Town Board.

The adjourned monthly meeting of the Tinwald Town Board was held m the Temperance Hall, Tinwald, on Friday even ing. Present— Messrs E. Gates (chairman), C. Doherty, J. M. Hampton, M, Lagan, and T. Williams. CORRESPONDENCE. The Valuer-General forwarded valuation list. — Received. The Post and Telegraph Department granted permission to place boards on poste, Bubjeot to conditions. The Secretary of the Postal Department wrote stating that the volume of business did not warrant a delivery m the Tinwald district.

SIDING. Attention was drawn to the bad state of the sidinggoing into Messrs Friedlander Bros.' Btores. — The Clerk was instructed to notify Messrs Friedlander Bros, to put the crossing m pood order at once, aa it was danger oui for traffic. IMPOUNDING.

MISCELLANEOUS. S'-me minor business was transacted, and after passing accounts,- amounting to £10 11* 63, the meeting adjourned.

I have been afflicted with rheumatism for fourteen years and nothing seemed to give any relief. I was able to be around all the time, but constantly suffering. I had tried everything I could hear of and at last was told to try Chamberlain's Pain Balm, which I did, and was immediately relieved and m » short time cured. lam happy to say that it has not since returned. — Josh.

These crude oils, or ' so oalled Euoalypti Extracts, are discernible : 1 By their deficiency m pungent odour — whioh our product, the only genuine Euoalypti Extract develops most freely through its surplus oxygen. By their alcoholic thin and mobile appear- ance being reduced m speoifio density through the presenoe of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resins and tennates.
