AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS—IB 77.

We are indebted to the courtesy of Colonel Haultain, Superintendent Collector of Sta tistics in the Auckland Provincial District, for a copy of a return—the compilation of which lias just been completed —of land in cultivation, and produce in this district, as shewn by returns taken in February last. It will be seen by a comparison of the 'returns with those of last year that the total increase of land under crop is shewn as only 2<>oo acres, but in reality there is an increase. In previous returns, the run holdcrs have returned the whole of the land in natural grasses as land under crop, but in the present return such land is excluded, only cultivated grasses being included. Three runholders alone last year returned 35,000 acres as under crop, ■whereas this year their aggregate only amounts to between 2,000 and 3,000 acres. Thus, deducting the 35,000 of natural grass from last year's return, there is an actual increase of cultivated land of nearly 37,000 acres. The returns also shew a very large increase under the head of lauds broken up, but not under crop, the principal increase being in the Waikato, Waipa, and Frank lin districts.

A summary of the figures for the districts of Mongonui and Bay of Islands, Marsclen, Rodney, Waitemata, Eden, Parnell, New ton, Onehunga, Franklyu, Waikato, Waipa, Thames, East Coast, and Auckland City East and West gives the following totals:—

The Directors of the Auckland Gas Company (Limited), have (in view of the approach of winter), had a number of tests made, for the purpose of ascertaining the value of gas as comp ared with other materials for producing artifi cial light; the result, which is embodied in a table given below, proves beyond any doubt that gas is considerably cheaper than cither oil or candles. Gas is acknowledged to be superior to every other material as a light-giving agent; not only on account of its brilliancy and clieapncss, but because it is safer, economises time and labour, and is more easily managed. Table showing that 1000 cubic feet of gas yields alight equal in intensity to 3J gallons of kero sene, or to COill)S. of tallow candles; or to 78.',11>5. of ordinary stearine or sperm candles; or to 61Jlbs. of pure sperm or wax candles.

The consumer has, therefore, only the house fittings to provide. A four-roomed house can now be fitted with piping and plain fittings for about £1, or about £1 for f>ach room.

POTTIES "SCOTTISH OIL Will be found invaluable in nearly every in stance, and for colonial use is one of the best Medicines ever introduced, especially in the following cases:— . TRAVELLERS, who have to shift from bed to bed. SURVEYORS, who are exposed to shbu vermin day and night. SHOOTING PARTIES, exposed to the tor ments of the tick. Members of Cricket, Rowing, and Football Clubs, and Athletes, May with greet ad vantage use it for the muscles of the arms and )imbs, rubbing night and morn ing.

Sir,—l think it my duty to slate that your Ghol -1 all's Rheumatism Mixture has proved in my ca.se to be all that you have represented it to be ; and for the sake of those who may be suffering the misery and torture of severe Rheumatism, such as I endured previous to taking your in valuable medicine 1 beg to state that I had been suffering the most excruciating agony from severe Rheumatism for over two years. I could not rest at night. My appetite was gone, my general health shattered, and the pains through out my limbs and loins were constant and almost insupportable. 1 was induced to try your Rheu matism Mixture, and found myself getting better I after tailing three bottles of it. I continued I taking the medicine for about six weeks, and ' became perfectly restored to health, being per fectly cured of all pain or symptoms of Rheuma tism. My appetite is excellent, and I sleep well at night.—Signed), Fued. WILLIAMS."

I am happy to state that I am now free from the pains I had experienced for so many years. I can sleep well at night, my appetite and general health are much improved, and I can attend to my business and house duties. This happy change has been brought about by the use of your Rheumatism Mixture for about two months.—l am, Sir, yours gratefully.— (Signed), S. Pickett." 'Dunedin, 31st August, IS76.—Sir, —Having taken your Ghollah's Rheumatic Mixture for some considerable time, and having been com pletely cured by its use, of the very severe rheu matic gout from which I had suffered most severely for the last ten years, I can bear testi mony to its most extraordinary curatic powers. I am now free from all pain, and well in my health, and have the free use of my hands and feet, which I had not previous to taking your medicine. I think it riglit to state, for the bene fit of others suffering the tortures thatl endured for the period above stated, that I attribute my restoration to health and freedom from pain entirely to the use of your invaluable medicine. I can strongly recommend it those suffering from rheumatism or gout.—(Signed), John Griffen, J.P."
