QUEENSLAND DRY.
• GOATS AND, THE GREEN LEAP. Constable Minogue, of Palmerston North, who has just returned from a holiday trip to Queensland, tells a rather unattractive story • of the dryness' of-. the northern parts of the country just now. It;was,-he .says, a novel sight to sec the' herds of goats coir.* up to the watering places for a drink after browsing on the tougn dry grass. There was no green grass visible anywhere. If Providence was good it ■ sometimes caused a green loaf to flicker 1 down to tho ground from some of the: trees,;. and when this happened the goats made a big scramble for the leaf.
