yesterday, and he diseoursed interest

coming to the front with nice crop. OF
course" he pursued. "we do not make
a speciality of wheat raising. Diversified
farming is what we aim at. We raise
stock, too. and the pasturage in our sec

hay crop IS simply immense. 1t never

frigerators to England. where the NUT
ton brings the highest prices. The
press. telegraph and postal companies
are all institutions of the government
In other words, the New Zealand gov
eminent gives no franchises to private
individuals or corporations.
