Fop this crop, and at this season, the roil cannot be too gross, therefore aae plenty of manure, and the ground wheci cleared in bhe spring will suit well for peas or broad beana. If the weather i^ dry,'.water asparagus and seakale beds •with liquid manure, into which a portion of sale has been put. Prepare fresh ground for asparagus. Stray turnips which happen to be left in the bad may be collected and planted. one foot apart, on any warm bank or borfier that may be to Espare, and they will produce a faw cuttings of nice delicate lops, at a time when any dish of greens is most acsaptable, Orchabd and Fruit Gardek.' Continue planting frnit trees, and where any established trees are growing to wood Instead of fruit, as is often the cass with apples and peara, they should be at once lifted and replanted.

If ib is necessary to stake large trees after replanting, do so tidily, allowing room in the fastenings for a slight sinking of the soil. While oathiß subject, ib maybe remarked, that nine tenths of the evils and want of success attending the culti vation of fruit trees, arises from their roots being allowed to penetrate to too Hfeatadepth, whether the soil be good or whether it be bad, and also from the fact fehat the trees have been planted too deep In the ground. If the surfaca soil ia not rloh enough to encourage the roots to keep near the surface, make it ao by fpeqaenS top dressings of well rotted manure.

Dfspepsla f LIVER TROUBLES, All Banished. Th© Oase of Mr.-F. CORY. (BY A WELLINGTON REPORTER). By the noble self-sacrifice of our colonial troops in responding to the call to arms on behalf of the mother country when the South African war was declared we now have experienced soldiers returning to the colo ! niea whose insight into the modern methods of conducting warfare should prove of great assistance in imparting practical military knowledge to our volunteer forces.® New Zealanders, Canadians, and Australians have proved themselves worthy foeinen in every battlefield wherein they have been engaged, and the patience, intelligence, and foresight shown by them during the many intervals of scanty fare and other priva tiona have aroused the admiration of seasoned old warriors whose campaigns are numerous. Their discipline and daring have been highly eulogised by the officers under whom they have served. At one time, ow ing to the deficiency of transport, the army had to perform much work that would other wise have been done by horses and mules. After sleeping in wet clothes, and suffering the ravages of cold, hunger, and fatigue, besides drinking any water that could be found, no wonder that such an appalling list of deaths occurred of those unfortunates who failed to escape the prevailing diseases. The number of victims to enteric fever forms a dismal feature in the history of the war, and it is sincerely hoped that every man who has recovered sufficiently to re turn to his home may soon enjoy the manly strength which he exhausted in upholding the honour and dignity of the British Em pire. An incident which is worthy of the reader's attention was supplied to our repor ter by Mr. Frederick Cory, of Rixon Grove, Mount Victoria, Wellington. © " I am informed that you were in delicate health some time back," hazarded the re porter. " 1 would like to know the par ticulars of same if you have no objections ? " "I have not the slightest hesitation in giving publicity to my experience of sick ness, as I consider 1 shall be discharging an I obligation and a duty at the same time. It is about twelve years ago, I dare say, since I first became run down in health through extreme heat and overwork. I was physi cally and mentally worn-out, and my nervous system showed marked signß of my serious state of debility." '•Were you living in this city afc the time?" ® " No, I was residing in Melbourne. I have travelled nearly all over the adjacent coloniea s however, and I consider that the sudden changes of weather in some parts have had a great deal to do with bringing on my attacks of debility, dyspepsia, and liver troubles. My appetite fell off com pletely, and I slept very poorly. I was also troubled with indigestion. I felt tired and fatigued, with a great disinclination for exertion of any kind. During the progress of those twelve years I have taken a lot of physic of various kinds, with the result that I am convinced there is no medicine to compare with Clements Tonic. I forget exactly how I came to start taking it, but when I did commence it was not long be fore I felt that I was in possession of a very valuable medicine at last." " How did Clements Tonic act with you ?" " Unlike all the other so-called remedies I had been taking, I found that after taking a few doses of Clements Tonic I was able to sleep soundly and well, and my whole system gradually underwent a change for the better. The recuperative properties of Clements Tonic acted in a remarkable man ner on my norvous system, which was toned and braced up once more. By degrees my appetite assumed its normal proportions, and I was thus enabled to regain my lost flesh, I lost all trace of indigestion, and the fearful headaches from which I used to Buffer now departed. The disappearance of all my distressing symptoms was only a matter of time with Clements Tonic, which 1 restored me to a first-class condition of health and strength. " Have you used any medicine since ♦ " " Only on a few occasions during the ex cessively warm summer months, when I take some Clements Tonic to keep me in order. I always found Clements Tonic a faithful friend, therefore you are at liberty to pub liah my testimony in any way you like. STATUTORY DECLARATION. !, Frkdkrick Cory, oJ Rixon Grove, Mount Vic toria, Wellington, in the Colony of New Ze&Unci, do solemnly and sincerely declare that! have carefully read the annexed document, consisting of two folios and consecutively numbered from one to two, and that it contains and is a true and faithful account of my illness and cure by Clements Tonic, and also con tains my full permission to publish in any way my statements-which I give voluntarily, without re ceiving any payment; and 1 make this solemn decla ration conscientiously believing the same to be true, and by virtue of the provisions of an Act of the Genera! Assembly o! New Zealand, intituled "The Jusfcioes of Peace Act, 1882." Declared at Wellington, this nineteenth day of November, one thousand nine hundred, before me> " Hl-.NKY LEEK DAVIS. .I.P
