AVith some varieties it is only the young growths that are worth retaining, but that • popular vrvriety Dorothy Perkins gives a

. PLANTING SNOWDROPS AND • CHIONODOXAS;


. In the interests of .our rcTvders and gardening in general it becomes a duty to urge the planting of all bulbous sub­ jects. and; those in particular whose vitality is quickly reduced, as the earliest ])bssible moment. Those named, among others, very quickly lose vital force, and if kept out of the soil too long not in­ frequently perish outright when -placed in. contact with it. Snowdroiis are such treasures in our gardens and of such e,isy culitvation. if taken in time, that one can­ not but deplore their infrequency in many town gardens.

“ .Be not anxious for-the morrow ; for the morrow.^will.-be anxious, for itself.”; So tha t w h a t w h a t our Lord meant w a s not “.

'The man w-ho is in no society, w-ho ,, will .have no sick pay if he falls ill, nothing to b u ry Him w-hen he dies V A man who has looked ahead and denied himself of comforts and luxuries perhaps many a time in order to p.ay his contribu­ tions to his lodge ?- The questions an­ swers itself : Christ taught the need of the fullest trust in God, trust that the child puts in his father ; but such trust is not incompatible -with self-help n,nd com­ mon sense. God’s w-ay of helping us is to helj) us to help ourselves, and He provides for our future just as much w-hen He gives


n s brains .and muscles to earn our living .as if He w-crc to feed, us every day with food from Him. And w-c show-, our trust in , God best, not by expecting Him to provide for our needs equally w-hether w-e have been provident or improvident, but by making use of w-ork and money. He gives us to provide for the future .as well as the present. And really i t is only those w-ho use God’s gifts well w-ho have a right to trust Him ; “ Seek ye first His Kingdom and his Tighteousness and all these things shall be added unto you.” Wh.at ? Sh.all our lives be careless and irreligious, shall we ever close the day w-ith pr.avcr, shall w-e scarcely ever be, seen in God’s house, and yet exiiect Him to provide for our needs'? I f w-e neglect Him w-hen .w-e arc prosperous w-hat right have we to e.xpcct Him to help us in our troubles ? But let us serve God .and not mammon, lot us not be ashamed of our Christian calling, and then w-e' may believe th a t if troubles come, comfort w-ill come w-ith them, and th a t in the darkness God -w-ill be our light. 'Then truly -w-c need not be anxious for the morrow-, for “ underneath us are the Everlasting Arms.” .-

In South Australia trade is busy, and ■


w ith them enough money to live upon until they .secure work. 'There is a good demand for farmers and fruit growers with a little capital, and between October and February th;-rc is a. demand for farm hands. 'There is also some opening for grooms, coachmen and men who are handy about a house or garden, and for.compet­ ent general labourers on reclamation and other works. 'There is no demand for more.miners, the copper mines being well supijlicd with men. 'There is greatscarcitj- of useful female domestic servants, and especially general servants. 'The extensive system of free, nominated,


there i s . a fair demand for carpenters, bricklayers, tinsmiths, sheet metal workers coachmakers and blacksmiths. Such men however, should, if they emigrate, have


and .assisted jiassages gives emigrants great facilities for going to Queensland. There is a good demand .for general farm labourers, especially dairj- hands, and for lands for milking and general farm work.


'There is a good demand in the countrj- for married cou])lcs without family, or with working boys or girls ; and for good stock- men. ■ Good openings exist for experienced farmers, witli some capital, to take up selections on favourable terms, after thej- have learned local conditions of climate and soil. 'There is no demand for- more miners, c.xoept a few skilled coal miners. Female serv-ants are in demand in man\- parts,_cs])ccially general servants who can cook and wash. 'L’herc is little oiiening' for«clerks or shop assistants'; .there is not much demand for mechanics, but there is room for more tailors and tailoresscs, country blacksmiths and wheelwrights. As regards Western Australia, there are


practically-free passages there for female servants from IS to 35 j'cars, and cheap passages a t £2 to £5 for bona-fide farmers, farm labourers, market gardeners, or orchardists or vignorons who arc not over 50 \-ears old. .'There is a good ojiening for farmers and fruit growers witli a little capital, and .Free Grants of ICO acres are-made to settlers. 'There is a great sca-rcity: of sldllccL farm'labourers in the South West,’ and men who arc able to plough and- work farm machinery are in keen demand.’. 'There is little or no de­ mand for miners or mechanics. In 'Tasmania there is not.much demand

NEW REQUIRE-MEN'TS Ds LAMB In regard to lamb, new requirements


a.so have sprung into existence. One of the inost important of thc-e i» carlv maturity, because the consumer will ha\e nothing that is not tender. In this he may not be in perfect agreement with the epicure, who knows that to obtain th- real flavour of mutton, age is absolutelv ’ necessary. 'I’hero is a liavour about a three year old or four year old .slicep whicli cannot be obtained from a youiis lamb. But in-oduction is not can icd out priniarilv for the epicure, and. therefore, the test of a good lamb for market purposes is the


; earliness with which it matures and the I rapiditj- with which it laj-s on flesh.


I THE - RETIREMEN'T OF LORI) - HAWKE.


Lord Hawke is entitled to the prai-e of having been the mo.st perfect cricket


I captain of his age. He has “ skippered'’ I Yorkshire for twent\--sevcn years, and during that long period he maintained the


j credit of the team at its highest pitch. Lord Hawki in himself .showed a fine ■


I mixture of tlic comrade and the comman- • der.- No one could have been more j friendly than ho was with the professionals I and .yet. when occasion demanded it. he ^ could deal sternly enough with them. I But the\' could never lose the conscious- I ness that! the best friend t ’ic\- had was . their captain.


WORKINGfipXEN.


lately mooted in the agricultural prc.ss> and. a t least one scientific writer boldly advocates it. ■ Someone, started the siih-? ject by-asking if small occupiers could _ work their cows without decreasing their flow of milk ; but that question seems to admit of but one answer and that ;n the negative. 'The use of o.xen on a large farm is a totally diffcicnt matter, ami there is no doubt that their cnnioymeiit would often enable farmers to keep their work well up a-nd more thorotighly to cultivate the land by setting the horse, free for that purpose. Of cour.se. from the tneat production point of view it may ­ be urged that ■modern coimimers would w object to beef five years old. and it may bs -■ conceded that three years is long enough, for rearing stock for the butcher.
