I was a. so glad to learn into they have nms.er.d a prelly strong cricketing tain, and arc going to commence at once, to pit on one of those line alluvial flats belonging t> ii.c Renders >■■, Mill ustat-, a portion of which I had ihe pleasure of walking over, and. was very much shuck with ihc vast area of such beautifully rich land. The crops on it are all io.ii7ii_'.' exceedingly well, ;,itl 1 am only surprised thai such really good land can be had at so low a li.uiirc, more especially when it pa .sess.-.s ro very many natural advantages. I was also pleased to sec a great improvement in tie management of the large hotel. II is a really good bouse, and every comfort afforded visitors, and owing to the quantity ofgamc, etc., upon the estate, together wi h lb.- iron! iiiboth those line fresh water rivers floe ing each side of it. is ihc very spoi thai a cty man would choose for a week's rest and recreation.

An amateur gardener has just given us some amusing experiences of his aiicinpls made dur ing ihe past season lo protect the early s.rwn seeds ill his garden from the attacks ot birds, living, as he docs, in a neighbourhood much open lo their attacks. He made trial of many contrivauces, and. his experience laugh' him that nothiug"succeeds better for a time th. n threads of white worsted drawn backwards and forwards across the beds, so as to nave ihc ap pearance of a net or trap; but this is only of service o.>r a few days, as the birds ccas • to be frightened at anything which might have been in'the garden lor more than a week. Among other contrivances, he procured an admirably formed iron cat, the size, of life and nearly as natural, of a beautiful tortoishell colour, with a

"cute-looking" head and noble tail. This ani mal, lie was informed, would frighten all the birds in Ihe neighbourhood. The pi t was set in the centre of a plot of ground where certain seeds had been newly sown, and lie fluttered himself he should have no more trouble, and that every feathered depredator would give a wide berth to his representative of the feline race among animals. For four or live days he was persuaded Unit the pests were fairly driven away, and was about giving an order for manu factured cats, when, to his great astonishment, on going to his garden one morning, he saw a fine old sparrow on the cat's back, taking a sur vey of the seed plot in the most leisurely manner. The moral draAvn from the circumstance was that the only way effectually 1 o frighten birds is to be continually adopting some new plan. What is employed as a deterrent should be placed on the spot a day or two before the seeds come through the soil, as that is the time when the greatest damage is done, and to add oc casionally lines of thread of various colours. All scarecrows should be placed in position be fore the seeds have germinated.—Gardener's Chronicle, October 2nd.
