trouble in a short time. We come short, too, to a great extent in farm implements, although perhaps the improvement in this direction is more marked than in any thing connected with the colony's agricul ture. Ten or fifteen years ago the majority of farmers had nothing more than a plough, a common harrow, a reaping machine, and a dray. This was not to be wondered at when we take into consideration the very high price of farm implements, machinery, and the great advance of price upon the English figure. Farmers, notwithstand ing the high prices, have now largely invested in agricultural implements and machinery of the newest kind, but even yet the general adoption has not been so great as one would like to see. And if farmers would be successful they must invest largely in machinery, for in every trade the all important thing is good tools. From my own observation I believe that blight is principally caused by inefficient working of the land. Where the land is not worked up sufficiently deep, and the furrows not thoroughly broken, and where spots of land have the gravel near the surface, or in patches of stiff clay, the greatest liability to blight will be apparent, while a deep loamy soil, well worked, will be the least liable. Therefore, to remedy this evil, the scari fier, the drill, and the heavy roller or furrowed press should be used. There is certainly, however, a desire manifested by farmers to have good implements and machinery, and this desire is a growing one. Then there is also the disadvantages to be contended with of the high price and unsuitableness of the labor available to the farmer, both of which arc great draw backs to the progress and improvement of agriculture in New Zealand the one just as much as the other. The high price would not be so much minded, if men generally were better up to their work. But for one good man in the labor market there are —thanks to the immigration scheme —ten bad ones, and to .pay high wages for work »badlv done is doubly provoking. Then, the New Zea lander is at a disadvantage. on the market question, owing to his isolation. But the opening up of the land by roads . and railways has brought nearly every grower within easy reach of the seaboard, and as colonisation increases with popu lation, and we become more and more a considerable item in the world s com- j merce, the disadvantage of isolation, which puts us out of the circle of the world’s traffic, will disappear as, we shall be able to make it worth the while of shipping to make us a special trade. So much for the comparison with Eng land’s advantages. Now, let us compare with her disadvantages. We have no competition for farms here in the sense that English farms are run after. There fore we have the advantage in this way. For instance, a young man about to com mence farming in England, with say LSOO capital, would find the utmost he could do would be to rent 100 acres, and by the time he got all his dead and live stock his money would be spent, and his difficulties and troubles would just begin ; whereas the young New Zealander, owning LSOO, could buy his land, get all needful stock, and have money left. The high rents and heavy taxes of England are unknown here, and although our incomes are not so great, our outgoings are far less ; but our success will more depend on keeping the expen diture low, following the old maxim that “a, penny saved is a penny gained. Then, in disease. All who faun in Eng land have had more or less acquaintance with the murrain, or quarter-ill in young cattle, and also the ravages made by scour in young sheep. -1 have seen nothing of these here, and beyond a few trifling ail ments quite within the control of an ex perienced farmer, we have practically no disease in New Zealand.. Of expensive manure we know nothing. Our fine native soil is one of the greatest legacies we receive when we come to this colony, and like youthful strength and vigor it is capable of enduring a large amount of work with the proper management and timely rests ; but no doubt the time will come when it will be necessary to supply the soil with some of those elements essential to the production of grain by the application of fertilising manures. The climate of New Zealand is also one of the pieces of good fortune enjoyed by all her sons. In this we have a great advantage over ihe English farmer. A good gorse fence will answer nearly all our require ments for shelter, nor do we .need so many root crops, our winters being so much shorter, less rigorous, and what root crops we do require can be grown quite well enough without the aid of artificial manure, animals of all kinds arriving at a much earlier maturity than they do in England. We have very little loss of time in consequence of severe weather and short days, and both seed time and har vest may be safely extended over a much longer period of time than it could be in England. A man and a pair of horses will plough and get under crop in one season nearly double what they would do at Home. And now, to sum up the whole, looking fairly at all sides, I come to the conclusion that with all draw backs there is still a great advantage on the side of New Zealand. For instance, I have sold two-year-old bullocks, each ■ weighing 8001bs, which would be a. very rare thing in England, with all their ex pensive stall feeding. The various branches of agriculture are so numerous, and the subject altogether of such magnitude, it would be impossible to do it justice within the circumscribed limits of an article like this, but I hope I have made plain my reasons for giving - preference to New Zealand as a farming ground,

Broken Down Legs.

It is a generally accepted theory (says the Marong correspondent of the “ Ben digo Advertiser *’) that when the leg of a horse has been broken there is no cure, and that the only plan is to shoot him. I have, however, had practical proof to the contrary. Some weeks ago a valuable animal, well known for his trotting capa bilities. and bearing the name of Tommy Dodd, the property of Mr. Henry Wilson, of Marong, was found to have had his off fore leg broken, and now, by judicious treatment, as simple as it pi’oved effica cious, Mr. Wilson has caused the bone to rempite and become as strong as ever. The only remedy applied to the injured limb was a many-folded tight ligature, and a frequent libation of cold water. This hint may prove of service to others whose animals chance to meet with similar accidents. ~ .

THE STORY-TELLER.

PAGANINI’S OLD SABOT. About the close of the month of Sep tember, in the year 1832, all the artistic world of Paris was shocked by a most dis tressing report. From mouth to mouth, and from house to house, the ill tidings travelled and nowhere were they related but with the profoundest regret. A morning paper announced that Nicolo Paganini, the finest violinist the world had ever seen, had been taken suddenly and seriously ill at the conclusion of one of the concerts of which this great star was the sole attraction. Both amateurs and ar tists at first were ill inclined to put much faith in the paragraph, consoling them selves with the reflection, that with great men such reports are frequently exaag gerated and sometimes entirely erroneous. Unfortunately the report was only too true. Paganini had been “burning the candle at both ends.” An intermittent fever, such as often attacks overworked men of slender constitution, had got the great artist in its grasp, and gave occasion for serious uneasiness on the part of his medical attendants. Paganini, whose emaciated condition was proverbial, only seemed to live by mere accident, and now there was-some anxiety lest his frail and nervous frame should give way under the fierce attack of fever.

The doctors put their heads together, and unanimously prescribed perfect rest and wholesome and strengthening diet. On che following day to that on which the newspaper paragraph appeared, Paga nini was installed as an inmate of a cele brated private hospital in the outskirts of Paris. At the time of. which we are speaking this Villa Lutsetiana, as the place was called, had a certain reputation for being frequented by patients of dis tinction. To the principal house of the establishment, which was a roomy and most convenient one, was attatched a charming garden looking over a pleasant and well-wooded park. One of the principal features of this establishment was to give every patient his entire liberty. Each inmate lived there as he liked, dining either in his own apartments or in the large hall. When the evening came those who were fond of conversation or a game of cards betook themselves to the public drawing-room ; there was the garden and a romantic avenue for those who wished to get as much fresh air as they could ; while, of course, for those who enjoyed perfect quiet and a cosy perusal of the latest romance, no better place could be found than their own private apartments. Paganini was notably a man -who loved shutting himself up, and being of a par ticularly nervous disposition, was glad to get away to his own room, and to be free from the chattering and buzz of conversa tion which was of course inseparable from the public salons. But this isolation of his was not ap preciatd by the majority of the guests. They had got a great lion among them, and no doubt wished to make the most of him. The charitable remarks made about the unfortunate fellow behind his back were as amusing as they were contempt ible. There were four or five old ladies at the establishment who were particu larly noted for picking the poor man’s character to pieces

“ Have you seen this great genius, my dears ?” one would say. “If you have not, I am sure it is not such a very great loss. He a perfect bear. He never takes any notice of anybody, or exchanges a syllable with a soul. When he does ap pear among us he sits in the remotest corner of the room, or away in the most secluded part of the garden, and never fails to creep away if by chance anyone approaches him. If these are manners, I don’t think so very much of them.” “ Oh, but you don’t know,” another would remark, “there’s a mysterious story about him ? They say that he leads a most melancholy and distressing life. Some love affair, you knew, which no one dares allude to. ”

“ Ah, but that has really nothing to do with it,” a third would chime in. “ Paga nini is a miser. It’s an undoubted fact. There is no secret whatever about it. Don’t you remember that concert that was given the other day for the poor creatures that were turned out of house and home by the inundations ? Well, he refused to have anything to do with it, and they say it was because he makes a rule never to play for charities. Not like the majority of professional people, is it ? But, after all, only look at the man’s face. What more could you expect ?” These charming little ebullitions of feminine caprice, based literally upon nothing, were duly committed to memory, and innocently and artlessly committed to Paganini. Who could have been his in formant ? Well, we shall see that by-and by-

Paganini, notwithstanding what he heard, never in the slightest degree altered his mode of living at the Villa Lutsefciana. : He lived entirely to himself, walked alone among the trees of tlie avenue and in the park, content with the pleasure of reading and re-reading a packet of old letters, which packet °was day by day increased. There was one kind friend at least who did not forget the poor sick man.

With the aid of much sleep, and the benefits of this quiet and regular life, Paganini little by little gained back his health and strength. It is not correct to assert that his life was quite a lonely one. There was one bright ray of sunshine which lighted the almost dreamy darkness of each day Paganini spent in the villa. The artist had one friend, and one friend only, in the household—Louisette.

“Who is Louisette?” may well be afked. The answer can soon be given. Louisette was a sparkling, pretty little damsel, fair-haired and silver-voiced, whose duty it was to attend to the pa tients. Paganini’s quick eye soon de tected her, and he made a special request that Louisette might be his sole attendant. Louisette was devoted to her distinguished master, and Paganini took an extraordi nary interest in Louisette. Every morn ing, when she arranged his breakfast, she amused him with her imitations of the peculiarities of various people in the villa, and detailed to his intense satisfaction all the ordinary gossip of the place. All the smiles which lighted up Paganini’s face during his banishment were flung there by Louisette.
