WE are glad to learn that the advice given
to our Maori friends in a former" Karere"
to sow the abandoned cultivations and waste
lands with grass seed, and thus possess
themselves of good pastures for sheep, cattle,
and horses, has not been lost. We hear
that several of our Waikato farmers are
enquiring for seed for this purpose. We
hope to hear these enquiries become general.
The present, however, is not considered
by European farmers as the best season for
sowing English grasses and clovers. The
months of March, April, and May, have
been proved to be the most favorable.
The reason why this is not a good time to
sow grass seed, on new land, is that the
young fern will spring up before the grass
has sufficiently grown, and it will be choked;
whereas seed sown in the autumn will grow
so as to cover the ground with grass before
the spring and keep down the fern.
It will, however, be wise to sow small
patches of carefully -prepared ground now,
in order to obtain seed for the autumn.
Any one may thus, at a small cost, supply
himself and his neighbour with plenty of
grass seed, and save the time, labour, and
expense of going to the European settle-
ments to buy it. Let the  young men read
this paper to the old men who have the

care of the cultivations, and who cannot
themselves read, and they will do what is
required. Let a little good seed be procured
for them, and they will take care that it is
sown where it will produce the seed which 
will be required when the proper season
comes.
The following quotation from the New
Zealand Almanac, published at Lyttleton,
will show our readers the plan adopted by
the European farmers in the Northern
island:—
"After the crop of potatoes has been
dug, the ground is harrowed, the potatoe
tops and weeds are collected and burnt, the
ashes are spread, the seed sown and har-
rowed in with two strokes of a light harrow,
immediately after which it is rolled: within
four months there is a considerable herbage 
on which sheep or young cattle are turned
to graze, where they are kept until the  end
of September. They are then withdrawn
for three months, and by the first of Dc-
cember there is a heavy sward of hay, and
as soon as that is cut, made, and stacked,
the field is again fit for turning cattle on
until the following September, and so on for
many consecutive years, the same alternation
of grazing and hay-making following without
intermission.
Stubble land, to belaid down to permanent
pasturage, is treated in a similar manner,
the chief difference being that the stubble
is ploughed in before the seed is sown.
Though hundreds of acres of the best
pastures on the rich volcanic soils around
Auckland merely had the fern burnt off, and
the seed sown and harrowed into the hard
surface in which the spade or plough had
never entered, yet the grass and clover
started away with a rapidily of growth truly
astonishing, at once subduing and super-
seding the fern, and becoming a most
luxuriant pasture.
The quantity and proportions of seed for
 an acre vary according to the fancy of
the owner, though a very frequent allow-
ance is—
Pancey's perennial Rye Grass  26 Ibs.
White Dutch Clover ... 3
Cow Grass or perennial Bed
Clover ..... 1
Total ... 30 Ibs.
Others, who are desirous of having a
 permanent pasture, composed of a greater
variety of grasses, sow of—

The foregoing varieties, carefully mixed,
will form an excellent pasture on the
gencrality of soils. According. however,
as the land varies in character, the propor-
tions may require to be altered, as some
grasses may be suitable in some situations
and detrimental in others."
We must refer our Maori readers to their
European friends for information respecting
the grasses enumerated in the foregoing
quotation, and will close our remarks with 
the hope that ere long our island will ex-
change its rough  and dingy coat of fern for
a soft dress of green sward; and that the
old pig-rooted, overgrown cultivations, will
be changed into pleasant meadows for the
quietly-feeding sheep and useful cow.
When the Europeans first arrived at this
island, the Maories were an upright people
and for those lands which were purchased
by Europeans no second payment was ever
demanded. When the claims of the old
settlers, who were living among the Ngapuhi,
were investigated, they manifested no desire
to conceal the boundaries of the land they
had sold, but on the contrary, the particu-
lars of any transaction were fairly and truth-
fully slated, both as regarded the boundaries
and the payment; nor did they desire to
withhold anything that had been justly sold
by them at a former period.
And now, O Ngapuhi, Mr. Bell, the Land
Claims Commissioner, is about to proceed to
your district, for the purpose of investigating
the claims of some of the old settlers:—and
do you now follow the  example set you by
Na ki te pai te whakananunga o enei tu

oneone, te rere be ai hoki te whakaranu o nga
purapura; ko etahi karaihe hoki e tupu par

Me haere atu nga hoa Maori ki o ratou hoa
Pakeha kia whakaaturia nga tu karaihe
kua tuhia atu nei; heoi ano ka mutu ta ma-
tau ki te tumanako tenei ake e mahue te

—let the right  be upheld, but let there be no
demanding a second payment for what has
already been properly settled:—let not that

which is right, and hold fast the last words

A LETTER TO MAORI MILL OWNERS.

FRIENDS,—The owners of the Waikato 
mills, listen to what we, the men of Kawhia,
have to say. We wish the Inspector of our
mills to be reappointed by the Governor,
and that we should pay for his services.
We propose to pay to the Governor the sum
of 81 91 or 101 per annum for each mill,
leaving it for His Excellency to say whether
the sums to be paid shall be more or less;
we have now fully consented to
this arrangement. Friends, if we have no
Inspector, our mills will go to ruin. The
first mill requiring a visit from the Inspector
is at Waiharakeke; the second is at Rangi-
taiki; the third is at Mangapapa. These
mills are at Kawhia. At Aotea, there is one;
at. Whaingaroa, two; at Waiuku one; at
Tihorewaru, one; at Tuakau, one; at Kar-
akariki, one; at Whatawhata, one; at
Tireki, one; at Maungakawa, one; at
Maungatautari, two. These mills belong to
Waikato. At Waihakari, one; at Rangia-
whia, two; at Kihikihi, two; at Mangare-
warewa, one at Orahiri, one. These mills
belong to the Ngatihinetu,  Ngatiapakura,
Te Patupo, and Ngatimaniapoto. At Pate-
tere, one; at Tauranga, two; at Rotorua,
one, or probably two; the Inspector knows
as he has seen, and at Hauraki, one. These
are the mills which have been completed;
there are two mills which are yet to be built
for the Ngatimaniapoto, at Mokau, and at
Tuhua. These are the mills which should
be visited by the Inspector, who should
reside at Rangiawhia, which is a central sit-
uation, that he may be near to Kawhia, to
Waikato to Hauraki, to Tauranga,
and to Rotorua. The Inspector should
look after these mills only, and he
should visit these mills four times each year,
but not go to the Bay of Islands, lest he
should be delayed — as that place is so far
away. Let there be another Inspector for
a koutou. Ko tenei, kia mau ki te tauira o-
a koutou matua i era whakawakanga whenua
i mua; ko te tika kia moiri ki runga, ko te
kai rua i te utu mo te mea kua rite noa ake,
kaua tenei i a koutou. Ko wai hoki. taua.

THE HISTORY OF CYRUS.—No. 3.
Some years after Cyrus had conquered
Croesus and the Lydians, he determined to in-
vade Babylon. Isaiah had foretold that Cyrus
should take Babylon, and release the Jews
from their captivity—Isaiah lived more
than 200 years before Cyrus, but God taught
him beforehand what should happen. Isaiah
44th Chapter, 26, 27, 28 v. Cyrus collected
a large army, and marched from Persia into
Babylonia in the year 540 B.C. He sat
down for two years with his army before the
walls of Babylon, hoping to force the people
to surrender by famine. But they had col-
lected provisions enough inside the walls
for 20 years, so that all idea of starving the
people into submission was abandoned.
What could not be done by assault, or by
famine, must be done by stratagem. There
was a very large dry lake above the city,
and a dry canal between it and the  river.
The river ran through the  middle of the
city. Accordingly, Cyrus fixed upon a night
when there was a great feast to be held in
the city, and he posted a large number of
men at the place where the dry canal touch-
ed the bank of the river, and he ordered
them to dig away the bank of the river and
titiro mo nga  mira  o reira; kaua ki Tara-
naki tae noa ki Poneke, me Ngatikahungunu,
me whakarite ano he pakeha titiro mo nga
mira o reira; engari mo konei anake tenei;
pakeha titiro mira, a mua tonu atu. Heoiano.

that the beneficial trade with the  coast, which,
is the parent of our productive trade with
Australia, still continues as active as ever. 
The returns in our present report are, it is
true, not quite equal to those in our two
previous papers, but that is altogether owing
to the traders being on the coast in quest of

7280 bushels wheat, 1638 bushels maize, 70

286 sheep, 11  tons kauri gum, 600 posts
and rails, lO, OOO feet sawn timber , 10, 000
shingles, 249 tons firewood.
The departures, coastwise, have been 30
vessels of 1556 tons, with 67 passengers and
the customary amount of native supplies.
tahataha o te motu nei, ko te puna hoki tenei
o te hokohoko o konei o Atareiria. Ahakoa,
kahore i rite nga unga mai ka tuhituhia
nei, ki era i tuhituhia i era Karere, ehara i
te kore kai, engari, e warea ana nga kaihoko
ki te kohikohi utanga mo nga kaipuke.
Nga unga mai i roto i nga wiki erua, 37
nga kaipuke, 95 8 tana, 136 nga tangata eke;
