DAIRY HERD AT MOUMAHAKI. Mr. ])ive asked the Minister for Agriculture in Parliament yesterday whether the small herd of dairy tows recently sent to Mouniahaki is intended to be the nucleus of a dairy herd; if so, where were they bred, were thev selected, or are thev a culled lot? The Minister replied that it was thought by the Department that the establishment of a good dairy herd in Taranaki would greatly assist the farmers in that provincial district, as they are especially interested in the output of butter and cheese. The Government were, therefore, proceeding to carry out that idea. A portion of the present herd had boon brought from the State Farm at Euakura, and some had been purchased in the South Island. They were not culls. Additional strains would be added in the near future lroni Scotland. Mr. Dunlop, a member ot the Scottish Agricultural Commission to Australia, had been authorised to make the purchase, and from his great knowledge of Ayrshire cattle, could be relied upon to send out good, stock.
