_ Answers to Correspondents. 
Hen-wife—The Wyandotte or Or- 
pington is as gooda fowl as you can get 
for your purpose. By breeding suc- 
cessive relays of chickens and feeding 
properly you will from them be able to 
obtain your wish to get eggs all the year 
round. The breeds suggested will not 
fly the fences under ordinary circum- 
stances. 
BE. J. Watchorn—The newly-patented 
contrivance for removing spines from 
rose and other prickly stocks is a Ger- 
man invention, and as far as we know is 
not yet in commerce. If agent’s name 
can be found it will be furnished. 
Inquirer — Sheep-shearing machinery 
was first introduced into Victoria during 
the yeaa 1887. 
Subscriber—-Valuable and up-to-date 
veterinary works are ‘The Horse: Tts 
Treatment in Health and Disease, edited 
by Professor Wortley Axe; Frideberger 
and Frohner’s ‘ Veterinary Pathology, 
translated by Captvin Hayes; and ‘ Veti- 
nary Notes for Horse-owners’, by Cap- 
tain Hayes. ‘These can be obtained 
through any respectable bookseller. 
Sahara—You are wrong in thinking 
neatsfoot the best oil for wood. Raw 
linseed oil is the best preservative for 
spade-handles and such like. Neatsfoot 
is the best oil for leather, but not the 
best for wood. Vegetable oils for vege: 
table products, and animal oil for animal 
products.
