Liiccnte. — It is well to make further provision for extendiufi' the gTowvli 

 of hiceriie. and wliiist this mouth is uusuitahlc for sowing, yet advantage 

 may be taken to get the land in readiness l)y ploughing and top-dressing 

 with gypsum, at the rate of half a ton \n-v acre. 



Millets. — The last erop of Iluugariau or White French millet may b(^ sown 

 in the early part of the month, provided there is sufficient moisture in the 

 soil to encourage germination. It is still possible to obtain a gi'een forage 

 crop in from sixty to seventy days. 



Cattle Cahhage,, Kohl-Ralii, and Kale. — The soil may now be got in readi- 

 ness for these excellent crops. If farmyard manure be available, it is 

 always the best fertiliser, otherwise use a complete manure of superphos- 

 phate, potash, and sulphate of ammonia. 



Potatoes. — The last crop did not provide enough tubers for seed, an.d may 

 be regarded as a failure. The autumn <'rop ought to be planted during the 

 next three weeks. 



Bape. — Always jiroviding we get rain, then an early series of sowings of 

 rape may be made.

M. A. O'CALLAOHAN. 



There are at the Wagga Experimental Farm, Piiverina, a number of 

 superior young Jerseys ; and as evidence of the ability of this breed of 

 cattle to yield good quantities of rich milk under conditions of small rai., 

 fall, the following yields are given :■ — 



Hawthorn 



Enid 



Wonga 



Wilga 



Doreen 



Clover 



Joan ... ... ... ... ..: 



All l)ut the last cow are ])ure-Ijrcd Jerseys, and are l^y the bull Colleen's 

 Golden Lad, who is Ijy Mell)ourne (imp.), from Colleen (imp.). These are 

 excellent yields for Jersey cows on their first calf, and it proves con- 

 clusively that the Melbourne strain of Jerseys is a heavy-milking one. 

 ^Melbourne, though 13 years old, is still doing stud duty at the Berry Stud 

 Farm.
