THINGS WE WOULD LIKE TO KNOW.

AT PUKEKOHE EAST. How the Franklin Times reckons a man can lose 31 milking cows oft of a herd of only 2. Some loss! If anyone can beat this. A cow sold the other day not a thousand miles away, with a 7.5 test. It gives 5% gallons in the morning, and nearly as much in the evening (some cow). How many times a certain dog has been cursed to death almost by everyone within a radius of a few hundred yards. What the birds said when they saw the committee members strenuously scraping jibe floor, and what 'the members proposed tb do with the birds, and who got the laugh, the birds or the members. Who proposed to decorate the hall with greenery, and didn’t turn up. If it was the rain that didn’t; agree with farmer, or was 3t the other at. /traction ? Why a black calf bought the other day for a quid should be called a white elephan/t. Why a certain bush farmer is going in for poulltry-breeding extensively. Why no less (than three farms are going begging in these prosperous times. Why a certain labour man has turned capitalist all of a sudden at the Easit If the Puke East Hall alterations will be followed by the erection of a porch and light at the fron/t entrance Why a chap living near the main road should describe the Ford as a good rattling car. Who was responsible for the erection of the .new tank and stand and what they said when they found i\t had collapsed, and why they tried to blame some innocent, stray animal. HEARD AT PUKEKOHE EAST. First farmer: The rabbits are very bad just now. They take the bark from the young trees. Second farmer : That’s nothing. I’ve seen them take (the bark from the dogs. It is said that the rabbits are so bad on a certain Puke East farm that it is not safe for a dog to be alone.
