cialized farming. They grow a diversity
Of crops and add TO them by cattle and
sheep raising and bee-keeping. Canter-
bury also is a famous horse breeding
country, ranging from great Clydesdsles
to the thoroughbred trotters and run
ners. Christchurch. by the way, is
center OF trotting and boasts of track
and grandstand which has few equals in
the world and certainly none In the
southern hemisphere.
Sheep raising has such hold upon the
plains folk that the Government guaran-
tees a big price for wheat IN an effort
to promote greater acrsa~e because much

NEW ZEALAND LAMBS
BEST IN THE WORLD.
1 ceased being surprised at the splen-
did quality Of New Zealand laInbs-to my
mind the best in the world-after l had
been shown how the sheep are fattened.
After they are weaned the lambs are
turned loose In fields Of rape or turnip
specially grown for the purpose and
there put. on the last pounds Of flesh be-
fore they are sent to the packing plants.
They go to the plants ia splendid condi-
ton and with all Of the sheep Of flock
within a few pounds of each other. If
for any reason 1t is not possible to
slaughter them within a day or two the

export Of any other quality. Thus the
reputation Of New Zealand mutton is up
held.
New Zealand does not breed many
sheep for wool alone. There are no
great focks of pure-bred Merinos such
as have made Australia famous. Some
few of them are to be found in the hills,
but on the plains sheep mostly are OF
the cross bred varieties which make the
best meat, and their wool is shorter
and not so soft
WONDERFUL SCENERY
ALONG PENINSULA.
Between the plains OF Canterbury and
the open sea stretches a vast billy pen
insula-Banks' Peninsula, to give it its
name-that is a wonderful bit of coun-
try. There dairying nourishes amid some
wonderful scenery that equals that OF
the Alps of Switzerland. There, clear
to the top of the hills, is grown
cereal called cocksfoot that was a revela-
ton to me. Originally brought to New
Zealand from England it has been sown
broadcast throughout the peninsula
where once dense forests existed and
from the crop garnered a double profit
is registered. The seed is sent abroad
for malsters and the fodder makes ex-
cellent cattle feed. Moreover. beneath
the vast growth of cocksfoot is a green
carpet OF native grass upon which the
cattle and sheep Craze after the cocks
foot has been gathered. The harvest is
done by hand by men with sickles who
spread it out to cure In the sun In little
bundles. l saw them at the harvest
1000 feet above the sea level, with

or for fnnicky Americans who cling to
their habit Of ice water with their meals
or iced drinks between times. | am re-
liably informed that not one family in
each thousand in New Zealand has an
icebOx in the house Perhaps the fact
that they never torture their stomachs
with cold drinks is another reason why
New Zealanders live long.
PRACTICALLY NO WASTE
IN THESE PLANTS.
Getting back to the packing plant, I
found that no part of the sheep is vast
ed there any more than in the Ameri
can plants, where It is said that some
use is made Of every part of the hog ex-
cept the squeaL From the intestines-
washed, scraped, secured and packed in
salt-are made sausage castings. almost
all of which goes to the United States
Oleo, wool, pelts, neatsfoot oil and fer
tilizer are by-products. The hides are.
first treated with a soda solution which
causes. the wool to loosen so that 1t
yields readily to a scraper. The pelts
then are cured and shipped to the United
States, principally to Boston shoe man
ufacturers. The wool, washed and dried
is baled Most of it is for export to
England, but considerable is sold to
Christchurch factories. One OF these fac
tories, am told, is so completely
equipped that 1t takes in raw wool at
one end and turns out completed suits
of clothes at the other.

MONDAY MAY Q.

MONDAY MAY 8.
Astrologers read this as a doubtful day
in which the planetary aspects arc hidden
and uncertain in their effects on
humanity.
At this time there may an unusual
spell of heat that brings with it a
scourge of insects that will make them
selves felt later.
The aspect seems to foreshadow many
heated debates in Congress and divisions
over important questions Of national
policy.
Theatres are subject to planetary
making for great interest In the stage
and many Independent theatrical enter
prises.
Persons whose birthdate It is have the
augury Of a serene, quiet year. Business
affairs will proceed as usual.
Children born on this day may be
quick tempered and difficult to please,
but they are likely to be unusually
gifted.

HOROSCOPE
''The stars incline. but do not cOmpsI!"
SUNDAY MAY 8.


The early hours Of this day are not
favorable to most of the ambitions of
men, but later a kindly star dominates.
Mercury and Saturn are in malefic
aspect, but in the evening Neptune IS
friendly.
Many evil rumors may disturb the.
public, for Mercury is in a place read
as presaging many alarming newspaper
reports on world conditions.
Troubles affecting the relations Of the
United States with foreign power may
multiply, but there is always a protecting
influence that keeps the country In
vulnerable.
Persons whose birthdate it is may have
a year of stress that viii lead to great
prosperity. The young will court and
marry.
Children born on this day may have
rather difficult climb up the ladder OF
fortune, but they are capable of reach
ing the top.

as well as I can and pay for it all as
I go. . It's expensive getting started
in gardening and hot house work, and
if a fellow doesn't. throw away his
money, and doesn't try to go too fast,
he can soon get on his feet.
Chickens, Too.
II have spent my entire time in the
past four years gardening. We keep
about 40 chickens and find them q
fine investment. They keep Us in eggs,
and also lay enough to give some for
sale. My wife looks after that part
OF, the business, and tends to most of
the selling of the vegetables in the
summer.

heating plant for the greenhouse this
fall, Any coal is expensive, but I find

greenhouses this size. I am going to
build an addition to this one just Is
soon as the frost is out Of the ground.
I plan to make it 40 feet longer. That
will give me a little more room. I am
planning to go in strong for perennial
plants. There is a great demand for
them, and I like to raise them. I keep
about one-thtrd of my land in the
summer season for flowers. Last sum-

gardening. I rent all the vacant lots
I can get. *

Choice Vegetables Grown.
Tomatoes, peppers, lettuce and ar
tichokes were growing in great profu-
sion in the greenhouse, and MI. Voiss
said he was just beginning on his cold
frames and hotbeds. He has some ex-
ira fine muskmelon seed which he
grew himself last year that he will
use this season. He starts the melon
vines in the greenhouse and later
transplants them to the open field.
Last. season he had a great crop of
melons, the pink meats and the green,
and sold bushels of them. He said he
could have sold a carload. He sells
the young vines, and amateur garden
ers about town were very successful
in raising melons in this way.

GRAIN.

Chicago, March 2S.-Cold weather
put some strength into the wheat
market today. No damage reports
were received, however, and upturns
in prices failed to last. Trading which
began today in the July delivery was
of only small volume, with initial
quotations $1.22 to 1875, about as
generally as expected. The market as
a whole opened IA to l Ia higher,
March $l.54 and May $1.41 "a to
1.42 1-2, but soon sagged to slightly
below Saturdays finish.
Corn paralleled the action OF
wheat. After opening unchanged to
SIS higher. including May at "a to
"a IA, the market receded all around
to a moderate extent.
Oats were governed by the course
of other cereals, starting Ia to So
up. May 40 7-S, and then undergoing
something Of a setback.
Lower quotations on hogs weakened
provisions.
May touched the lowest price yet
for the present crop, but smallness of
receipts together with colder weather
helped give a little firmness to the
market later.
The close was steady, IA to SIS
cent net higher, with May 64I-S to
81 Ia.
Later advices indicating that con-
siderable damage may have been done
by unreasonable low temperatures had
. bullish effect and so too did an
nouncement that the visible supply
total was the smallest in moro than
30 years. The close was unsettled.

Minneapolis, Mimi, March 28.-In-
itial trade in July delivery and a fair
rally in all months after a bearish
start were the chief features Of tho
market today. July wheat
started six cents under May. The
early season was regarded as certain
to make July a real new crop month
in the winter wheat market.
Firmness in cash premiums rs a
prop under the futures here. May
wheat started unchanged to firm and
advanced "a cents over Saturdays
close. later declining 2 CENTS from
high points and rallying again late in
the session a fraction above early
high. March trade was light and
undertone was draggy although price
was up "a cents for a time.
Coarse grain futures held within a
narrow range. rejecting wheat moves
to some extent. Oats closed 1-8 to
IA cent higher; y unchanged and
barley up / 3-8 cents. Corn ruled
weak early, but rallied later with
chief support from shorts. Flaxseed
