CORBESPO2TDEHCB. '■■♦ ■ (We do not hold ourselves responsib'c for tut opinions expressed by oar correspondents; TAMPERING, TO THE EDITOR. Sir,— As one of the deputation whore* cent ly waited on the Council to apply for water for garden irrigation, I wish to protest against the whole tenor of your remarks m your leader as published m Monday's paper. That there ia another interpretation other than youra I hope to show you. First, let me remind you tkat this surreptitious 'irri- gation, or tampering, is no new thing, but that it has become to a certain extent chronic. The ssme thing has been going on for years, and up to the present no attempt has been made to get over this difficulty, and that is, that at any rate up to ihe end of December there ia more water m many of the county races than is actually required for the purpose of watering stook and until the disposal of this surplus i« taken m hand and regulated by the Council instead of being the property of the last farmer on the race, so long will this trouble continue. You will scarcely deny equal rights to a surplus for which all pay ? Jfy contention that there is a surplus is proved beyond a doubt by the number.of tampering cases reported, and from my own knowledge that list could be considerably added to. and yet up to a few days ago, there wa» no word of a shortage of water. The Engineer'*- report states the supply to be well sustained. You eurely have drawn on your imagination for the picture of the farmer robbed of water for his Btock by his greedy neighbour. 1 have made frequent inquiries and bave not yet heard of his whereabouts. And now m reference to the Kyle deputation are you quite sure of your facts ? Is their race a continuation of the one from which "our constituents had been extracting their water supplies." If you tuke the trouble to inquire you will find that the Chertsey main race ooes'nt go into the Kyle district at all. Also, the application for an extension of the Acton irrigation scheme has been before tho Council for twelve months, and the wonder is that it is not a realised fact before now. Another aspect of this matter is the waste of water now going on at defective road cross- ings, through dirty, ill-kept races, and worst of all the waste going on where races have been constructed where there is no fall. There is probably as much water lost i through these causes as would irrigate and save many a garden and brighten many a home. Much more could be said on this matter, but space will not permit. In con- clusion let me aßsure you that you do Chert>ey settlers a gross wrong m attribu- ting greedy and selfish motives to their aotious. Their position is quite logical. They believed there was a surplus of water, and wished to buy it. They are quite pre- pared to accept the Council's decision that there is no water to spirp, and m that case,, thn agi'aliqn simply, becomes ofle for more water, a perfectly legitmate agitation de- sei vit.g more of sympathy than censure from ' the press.— l am, etc, - W. Wilkinson. List summer one of our grandchildren was sick with a sev< re bowel trouble. Our •lactor's remedies had failed, then we tried hamberlain'a Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, which gave very speedy relief. We regard it as ihe best medicine ever put <>n Ibe market for bowel complaints. — Mrß K. W. Gregory, Fiedenckstown, Mo. This crtainly is the best medicine ever put on the market for dyseutery, summer com- p'aiub, colic andcholerainfantum m children. It never tails to give prompt relief when used m reasonable time and the plain printed directions are. followed. Many mothers have expressed tbeir sit cere gratitude for the cures it has tftected.

Ferriman, Dear Sir, — I have taken great pains to c see how the above Collars would answer, and as you have taken over the agenoy for them I am sending you this testimonial, hoping you will use it.fpr the benefit of the farming community,- as lam satisfied the Steel Collar is a great boon to this ftpunty on account of the great heat and boulders we have to contend with.- J have;. used them for carting shingle m riverbeds and find that they ease the horacs very much. I have aIBO used them m- the hottest p nt of summer to put m turnip', and find the horses wearing the Steel Collars finished much fresher and took less feed to keep them m condition than those working m the leather collars. I hud a mare ant to me with her shoulders quite raw, and her owner could not ,cure them. •■s% started to work her m the Steel Collar, and within a month had her as sound a<j possible. Another man sect, me a mare with a tumor on her Bhoulder. I worked her m a Steel Collar .and had her well m a week. In fact I do not think they can be too highly praised, and if once used no other sort will be used again At the same time I would like to remind all that use them that they must be kept quite clean, a rub with a wet cloth is j «- I >-_ia_js.jr_guired. May field. ~ Aahburton, November 30, 1897 Mr F. Ferriman, Dear Sir — I have used the Patent Steel Collar and find them very . satisfactory. My horses are never troubled with sore shoulders when worked m these collars.. Thomas Bennett. Ashburton, November 27, 1897 Mr F. Ferriman, Dear Sir— l am using six of the Patent Steel Horse Collars for draught horses, and although my countrr.. is ; very rough none of iny^borßea.,wprki"*;'.":>in these collars ever suffer from sore Bhovit «rs. Whenever my leather collars, fail I , replace ' them with the steel ones. I alwayß use them when breaking m young horses, and never have any trouble with tHeir shoulders. I have horses I could not work unless I had the Steel Collars. '> John Dotle. I THE • Advantages of the Collar 1 MAY BE SUMMARISED AS BKLOW :- No Hames required ; It is easily fitted ; i It cannot get out of shape by wear ; j It requires no stuffing ; There is no pinching of the shoulders ; The jerk at starting with a heavy load is minimised, the collar being m itself a spring. The pull is distributed over a large surface of the Bhoulder, and does not come . wholly on the outer edge, aa is often the case with the ordinary Collar. It never wants drying, and, therefore, a second Collar for use during that pro- cess is unnecessary. It is cheaper, lighter, and more comfort- able, and laßts longer than a Leather Collar and The parts are interchangeable. N lQ AGENT FOE ASHBURTON : a, id fi F. FERRIMAN.
