FARM NOTES.

(By Cockatoo.)

According to present indications, there will not be such a large area of land under grain crop thia year, ai formerly. The reason for thia ia apparently the low prieea ruling for both wheat and oats. Wheat may be said to be at the lowest, and scarcely a renumerative price, and there.musfc be large quantities still held in the colony, sufficient for our own require ments for some time to come: This may probably account for the short quantity of this cereal being sown this year. . Oats show an upward tendency, and 1 possibly ere next season's crop is har vested, we may find them at fair prices. ! Barley is becoming entirely neglected ia Canterbury of late years. There is certainly a little more risk attached to barley growing than wheat or oats, bttt still it is advisable that farmers should always grow a little barley. If tbe market is dull it can be used for many purposes, that wheat or oats cannot; Besides malting, if ground, it makes good horse feed, and also splendid pig feed. It would be well if farmers gave their attention again to barley growing, especially as we have to import a larg«™» quantity yearly.

The severe and unsettled weathsr for the past three or four weeks has had tbe tffect of delaying the spring. Feed is very scarce and is wanted badly. Numerous young lambs are suffering and dying. The anticipations of an early and dry spring have scarcely been realised.

Grain should not—whether wheat or oats—be sown later than thia month on the plains. Any crop aown later would not have sufficient time to grow and mature before the dry weather comes on. Tbe result would be little straw and poor yield.

The grub is apparently most severe on old pastures and winter sown grain crops. Later sown crops, such as spring wheat and oate, have escaped its ravages so far.

Breeders of horses should time their mares to foal when there is a likelihood of sufficient grass to sustain them and produce a plentiful supply of milk for the foal. If mares have to be fed on dry feed, through insufficiency of natural grass, they cannot produce the same quantity of milk, consequently, the foal becomes stunted, and the old maxim that .".Half the breeding is done in the feeding," becomes ap-

parent,

As the horse season approaches, it cannot be too strongly urged upon the owners of suitable and sound mares, to avail themselves of the opportunity and see that their mares are covered, as breeding must be a paying business for some years to come.

A mistaken idea, and a prevailing one with some farmers is in working their newly sown land too fine at the time of sowing. It is sufficient to cover the seed, and allow the snrface to remain oper. and rough until the crop coders it. Then if the Cambridge roller is put over it, it breaks all the clods and retains the moisture, besides being beneficial to the crop itself, by causing it to stool. If the roller is used at time of sowing, the surface of the land is apb to became very dry and baked.

Ash barton exhibitors at the forth coming Timaru Show will find that arrangements oi the accommodation of exhibits from outside the district, has not been lost sight of by the Agricultural committee. A contract has been let, and is now in progress for the erection of substantial horse boxes to be finished in time for the approaching Show. A grand stand and other offices, which will add materially to the comfort of visitors and also to the attractiveness of the society's grounds ia in course of erection,

What Made "Bobs" a Humani tarian.

It ia interesting that his first strong impulse in this direction came in hia second year in India, when he was compelled to witness tha flogging of two Horse Artillerymen. The men were in the wrong, bub the punishment was brutal, aud the unwilling witness must have felt the sting and fire and throb from the descending lash almost as keenly as the men themselves. Naturally tbey sinned again and were sentenced again, but through the clemency of tha colonel the farther punishment was remitted. Lord Roberts says he watched the effect of that forgiveness for some year?, and found that the men proved themselves worthy of it. Eencefortb, therefore in his view, the man was greater than the uniform, and on this principle he haa based the actions which have won him such renown. "Better the con ditions of the soldier, and you will elevate th& character of the man." He once said to me, and the saying was unconsciously autobiographical. Oa this plan of progress he reformed the old canteen system in India, or rather replaced it by the establishment ol soldiers' institutes, and the broad, human, redemptive and preventive ageucy of the Army Temperance Asso ciation.—GWd Words.

' Richmond Street, Peton?, September 28,1899 The Proprietors of " Plantekoa.'' Sirs,—For some time past I have been a martyr to Indigestion, Chronio Liver Trouble, and General Debility.

Having your Plantekoa Ointment in the House (we always keep it), I had my thumb bandaged with it, continu ing the application for several days.
