ESTIMATE OF 1898 CEREALS.

The following aro the returns of the areas m and estimated yields of grain furnished to the Agr ouLural Department. | The dry season, this ye.ir at leatt, wiil of ; course necessitate a redaction m the j estimated yields : — Wheat (excluding 20,000 acres for feeding or chaffing) 322,393 acres ; 21 bushels to the acre ; — total, 6,770,253 bushels. Oats (excluding 20,000 acres for feeding or chaffing) 356,385 tores ; 30 bushels to the tore ; —total, 709,950 bushels. The estimate of yield of wheat, Novem ber 1897-8 was :— Bushel*. On hand -November 15. 1897 .. 1,112,682 Harvest— lß9B 6.770,253 Total 7.882,935 Ab the season has turned out this estimate 11 probably conaideraby above the mark. The Chriatohuroh Press, oomirenting on the agricultural statistics, deolines to advise farmers on the point whether to sell their wheat or hold f»r better prioee, says : — " It U for the farmers to consider whether, m the firat plaoe, the yield is likely to average 21bmhel8 per acre, aggregating 6,770,253 bushels, or if not, whether the 322,393 acres Will yield sufficient, without the help of the large stock of wheat which admittedly has been carried over from last harvest, to supply the probub c requirement of New Zealand. We nave no doubt most of the farmers will be able to draw a pretty shrewd conclusion on the Bubi ot."

BARRYTOWN GOLDMINING COMPANY.

Annual Meeting. (The annual meeting of the Barrytown Qoldmining Company was held m the Arcade Chambers last evening. Over twenty share holders were present, and Mr Henry Zinder occupied the chair. In moving the adoption of the report he said he was pleased to Bee a number of ladies present. The plant at Barrytown was the best ia New Zealand, but owing to cartaia difficulties they were unable to get the plant on the ground at the time previously stated. Given favorable weather, they hoped to get it on the beach very shortly ; and when they did bo, it would be a matter of only two months to get the plant started. He had visited the grounds, and after making tria'a could give very favorable prospects to the shareholders. It was the richeso gold he had seen m New Zealand. The first contract for making a water race was a failure, but they now had a fluming which carried enough water to work two elevators. Mr D. Thomas, m seconding the adoption of the ieport, said he had visited Barrytown, and had not seen a better show m New Zealand or Australia. There had been many difficulties to contend with ; but he huped they would sooa get the plant shipped. He would not promise a dividend for twelve months. Mr H. Friedlander aaid he had not yet been on the claim, but as they were getting wet weather that evening, it was very likely that that there wou'd be favorable weather on the other side to ship the plant, and he hoped the shareholders would be soon re couped for their expenditure. After several questions re the balance flheet had been answered satisfactorily by the Chairman, the report and balance sheet were adopted unanimously. Messrs D. Thomas and Hugo Friedlander were re-elected Directors, and Messrs Nicoll and Stephens were appointed auditors. A vote of thanks to the Chairman con cluded the meeting, , - At a meetiug of directors held af erwards Mr Henry Zinder waa re-elected Chairman.

MOUNT SOMERS FLOWER SHOW

*t From Our Own Correspondent. The fourth monthly exhibition m con nection with the Mount Somers Horticultural •Society was held m the schoolroom on Fri day afternoon. There was a very large attendance of visitors, which, I believe, was alaiost a record one. Quite a number of people from the surrounding districts, from Alford Forest to Anama, were present, and took a lively interest m the exhibition, thus showing that they are lovers off horticulture The attendance was a surpriao to many, when it is remembered that the farmers wt re busy gathering m the last of their harvest, and the weather was anything but inviting, being bitterly cold, so much so that a slight fall of snow took place during the night, followed by a hard frost. The exhibits were all more or less worthy of high commenda tion, m Beveral cases eliciting encomiums frem the judges. The growth as well as the beauty of the blooms of the exhibits showed that they bad not Buffered from the long spell of hot and dry nor' west weather of the last month or two. The special features of the exhibition for this month were gladioli and sweetpeas. While the judges were busily engaged with their part ot the programme, afternoon tea was dispensed by several ener getic lady members of the Society. The following were the chief priz3takers : — Gladioli.— Rev. H. Furchas 1, Mr Chris tenaen 2. Mra Biokley'a exhibit had the best bloom but wanted variety. Sweetpeas. — Miss C. Peach 1, Mies Peter 2. Best general collectiou. — The priza for this has to be gained by winning the greatest number of points throughout the year. So far, Mias Peter has the greatest number of points. Shower bouquet. — Miss Herring. This exhibit was very tastefully arranged, and won the admiration of all present. Bouquet for children.— Miss H. Beckley. Vegetables — Mrs Timson 1. This was a splendid collection and of good growth.

Such a con- dition causes thousands of people to fancy that they are consumptive, while they are _ really only m nee d of a remedy to sec the organs of the body working harmoniously. Keason points to two essential qualities m a remedy for thie purpose. It must create an appetite for food, and at the same time assimilate its nutriment. With either of these qualities alone the remedy would be worse than useless, but with both it becomes a power with incalculable good. Alaxum is the only medicine which combines these two qualities. It is a natural appetiser, and its first action is to create hunger. After the appetite is satisfied it acts directly on the stomach, liver and kidneys, clearing away all effete matter and exciting them to activity. The system then receives nutri- tion and new life from the proper assimila tion of the food ; and where there is no organ, a disease health -must follow. This is con mon sense and cannot be gainsaid.. Accept bo substitute that may be recom- mended to be "just as good.'

These crude oils, or so called Kucalypti Extracts, are discernible : I By their deficiency m pungent odour which 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 specific density through the presence of acids. By their taste, the result of the contracting tendency of resina and tennates.
