AND. HOW MANGAMAIBE LOOKS. I went over the hills to Jlangamaire recently (writes.,our:,travelling correspondent), and here I found the a grass very short. I -"am-" sadly'-' afraid""some of the farmers there are much overstocked, as the cows in some cases were in a wretched condition. Near the railway station is the co-operativecheesy-factory, where they" turned' out* some'loo tons" last year. The . flats, have .been , very.,heavy, bush, with a light, loamy soil. A considerable area has-been stumped,,, arid is now ploughed.
From there -1 rode round. to Konini, through a rich, fertile district, showing really.-'good-•feedj taking,.the season into consideration. -'Hera'is'"ono of the butter factories of the Ballance Dairy Company, .whero .they tunv'.out-two tons of butter a . day.'....There;..are..some very large suppliers to the Konini factory. The.largestis,Mr..T. Quirk.'who told me the day I saw him he was sending' in '.four thousand pounds of. milk daily. This' district will soon have to be -broken up. .Cows...alone- must in -time ■impoverish 1 any land. U'AYeeds are coming in fast, which must reduce ite carrying capacity..' l
