RETAIL TRADERS' ASSOCIATION

10 THB BDMOft Slß,—There is in Aohburton a Retail Traders' Assooi&tion. The aims of this ißßtlftuMon are wholly philanihtopic, In this age, when the doctrine of the "Survival of the Fittest" finds practically universal acoi-ptauce, it is refreshing to fiad Buch an institution ia our midst. The paternal solicitude for the weak eet forth i«a tha fearfully and wonderfully constructed articles of this Association is pathetic. The tender watchfulness which this beneSeenb Associa tion proposes to keep over those who are ao happy as to become mumbars thereof, ia moat touching. Could anything exceed the disinterested care of tha following regula* tion act forth in the articles of thia Aeßociation : —"Thn mambera ot the Asbo 1 usiatiwn ehall not subscribe to any bazars, sports* picnics, or priza iunds, nor advertise on programme*, . tickets, or publications Bonneotad with the above, except the. Ashbafton A and P Association, Poultry, Pigeon and Canary Society, and the Aahbnrton Beautifying Sccieiy" Should »oyone ask why exceptions are made in the febove regulation, the answer ia ©aey— 11 Philanthropy, pure philanthropy,' 3 and only * bold bad man would saggßSti that h k heioaase the AosociaticQi so excepted are too powerfnlly aappottedto bsignored by the Asbburtor* Betbilera' Asaooiation.

Doubtless some of the members of this excel lent Aneociatioo are not) blessed with % saptjrabacd»uc9 of this world's goods, and Ghe sight) of tho Suxarf enjoyed by some of their fallow members must) pain them* I would suggest tharoi'ore, thab the following mlw be »dded %—* 1 Tbftt 20 memiier of fcb.it JLsioaiatlon ■h»!l *t any time bay soy tiokets for any eoßiiert) fee himself or his wife, or his euclee, his oonaine, or his aunte 2 That do member cf this Association shall tide a bicycle wi&houb the sanction of the executive, tinder penalty of instant dismissal i That; on no account shall any member of tibia Aesoolatton drive to or from his pSaoe of business in any buggy, oah or dot key chaise I feel sure that the above rules would free some members of the Association from couaidernble anxiety, and with this view I commend them to the careful consideration of the executive of the Association.—l am, ko, • Clio.' {Qm correspondent has apparently nob aeon the revised rules.— Ed.]

Desr Sir, —Re Clarke's Carbolized Wheat Protector. I have used: the above dressing for the past three seasons on an average sowing of 1500 acres of wheat and oats, and have always found that it gives every satisfaction. It Is also mixed with less labor and germinates a week soone than when dressed with bluestone. M. Stitt. I have used your Wheat Protector, also Bluestone both on the same paddock, and am much pleased with your Protector as a much better preventive of smut than Bluestone. James McLean, Cairnbrae. I have much pleasure m testifying to /ou as agents In Canterbury for Clarke's Carbollzed Wheat Protector, that I used same last season as a dressing tor Wheat, Oats, and Barley, with the most sati-hie. Tory reeults. The seed dressed with Clarke's Wheat Protector germinated much sooner, and the beard appeared more strong R-ttd healthy than that on which I used Bluest one. I Intend again to use Clarke's Protector during the coming season. George Graht, Farmer, Southbridge. I am pleased to Inform you that the Clarke's Wheat Protector I obtained from you lsst season has proved soccessfuJ, being superior to bluestone m every way. Th« latter dressing only gave 5 bushels per acre, wheroas the Wheat Protector gave 18 bushels. Ib ia a preventive against Smut and the small birds nuisance, and I shall continue to use it.—Yours sincerely, Jas. Bbown, Horarata. I have much pleasure In stating that I used Clarke's Carbolized Wheat Protector on Tuscan Seed Wheat sown on my form near Southbridge: l£ ncwa with Bluestone, 23 acres with Clarke's Wheat Protector, with the following results, viz:—That dressed with tho Carbolized Protector seemed to come away'much quicker than that dressed with Bluestone, and up to reaping time was a better crop, and would undoubtedly yield more buabela to the acre.
