A PIG NUISANCE.
As the only effective means of putting a stop to what promises to be a peat to the new land owners on the Waimate Plains, unless speedily eradicated, the Hawera “Star” mentions that a movement is on foot for purchasing all the Maori pigs at present running on a large portion of the block of land recently sold on the Plains. It is stated by those who ought to know, that there will probably be but little difficulty in arranging with the Maori owners at a reasonable price. No doubt buyers could easily be found for a large number of the pigs now running at large; men and dogs would be forthcoming to catch and convey all the marketable ones to fresher fields and pastures new, the old tuskers being treated in a summary manner, with a short shrift and a long knife.
