The dog is a very gentle one but his

after the task was about given up, Bill
would take a notion to move along and

MORE DIRECT STEAMERS.


The good effects of the big fleets
tour of the world will be felt for
many years to come One of the
latest phases of development has
been to encourage direct trade be-
tween this country and New Zea-
land. which was one of the countries
at which the big fleet touched.
Our consul at Bristol sends to the
government the outline of a project
for establishing a line of steamers,
first for freight and subsequently for
passengers, which will touch on the
west coast OF England and then come
direct TO this country.
He says that for a year or two past
steamships have been running be-
tween New Zealand and Bristol
(Avonmouth) and OF late these
steamers have given unsatisfactory
service. owing to their inability to
keep TO their schedule until recently.
This has now been corrected, with
the result that a steamer is to leave

twenty-eight days and TO take not
more than fifty days on the voyage.
Another line of steamers running
from Australia TO Avonmouth via
New Zealand is projected every other
twenty-eight days, giving in reality
ship between New Zealand and the
west OF England every fourteen days.
All that is needed TO extend this SER
vice between New Zealand and Avon
mouth TO the United States is a line.
or lines, OF steamers coming from the
United States that will stop at Avon
mouth and reship the cargoes from
New Zealand, or give to the boats
destined for New Zealand fresh
freight from the United States.
Negotiations are now In progress
between the Bristol dock authorities
and steamship owners by which it is
hoped that such American steamships
may soon be supplied, and the ar
guments in favor of the success OF
such an undertaking are the reports
OF trade carried on between New
Zealand and the United States, and
the fact that this trade is constantly

and that on the return voyages there
were one ship from New Zealand
bound TO the east coast and fourteen
ships from New Zealand bound to

has grown from practically nothing to
what it is. Uncle Jim" Wilson is really
the father of the agricultural department
He has combined the practical with the
theoretical and ideal. That is the big
thing in his record. He was primarily
practical farmer, but he was not aversa
to anything smattering of advanced ideas.
Under his direction eminent scientists
have worked out problems of plant breed

adaptation so that the expenses of the
department have been returned a hundred
