that will guide those who are prepar-

all this. there are state farms, dairy
schools. and laboratories that are Of
the utmost service to those engaged
in agriculture.
Another feature in the agricultural
policy of New Zealand is that of the
advances to settlers. which has been
found Of very great advantage and
convenience. The system begun in
1894, at the time when worldwide de-
preston in agriculture existed. Set
tiers were becoming embarrassed in
their circumstances, and the high
rates of interest then charged were
found to be a burden not easy to
bear. To relieve the pressure, the
government brought in the advances
to settlers act. By this measure,
sums varying in magnitude from $125

dairymen, market gardeners and 9TH
er producers, on the security of their
title, the advance not being more
than so per cent. on the freehold
value. and SO per cent. on the lease
hold value. The interest charged is
six per cent. and the amount is re-
payable on the installment system,
which repays the principal, together
with five per cent. interest, in 70 half
yearly installments.
Then there are the fixed loans,
within the same limits of amount. at
five per cent. interest, on freehold
tenure only up to half the value. on
periods Of ten years. Under both sys-
TENS the mortgage may be paid off
at any time without notice. No COM
mission or procuration fee, is charge
able, and the payments are transmit
ted free by the post Office. The ar
rangement seems to have worke
very well, since under the scheme
over $4,000, 900 has been disbursed,
and there have been practically no
losses, and scarcely any arrears of
interest. One can very easily see
what a great advantage this system
of lending must be to young and
struggling colonists.
These are some of the conditions
under which agriculture are carried
on in New Zealand.
It remains to be asked what is the
best kind Of farming TO follow, and
It is very evident from the statistics
that considerable changes have been
effected during the last few years.
The main cause of this undoubtedly
IS the invention of the freezing cham
Der. Until it came into practical OPP
Grafton, sheep farming could only be
carried on proftably on very large
areas, because wool and tallow were
the only marketable products. Nut

consumption but since the great ex-

established, nearly every farmer
keeps his fiocks of breeding ewes

of the agricultural inter
est. In this respect they show an
example worthy of being followed by
the mother country. The English
board of agriculture is composed to
a very large extent of very able sta
tisticians, who at short notice will
produce figures upon any point capa-
bic of being illustrated or dealt with
by them. But the New Zealand de-
partment is much more practical in
special veterinary staff, under a chief
veterinary officer and Psychologist
with a large staff of veterinary sur
geons, and a special dairy staff and
produce commissioner in London.
This department exists for the pur-
pose of helping farmers, which it ac
composites in several ways. Instruc-
tors are sent out to all the various
classes who work on the land, wheth-
er they go in for arabic cultivation
or dairy work, or whether they are
fruit growers, horse beeders or sheep
owners. Then if anything new turns
up, it is printed and distributed
among them. More important still,
the officers of the department in
spect the meat to be exported and
the public abattoirs, and they are
responsible for that grading of dairy
produce which is the envy of other
countries. This is what is done at
