Poverty Bay District in Fresh Condition RAIN HELPS PASTURES Favoured with an unusually goou winter and a sufficient rainfall, the spring growth has come away readily iu Ihe Poverty Bay district. Tlie eount.yside now is a picture, with the pastures iu excellent condition. fcjtock is rhriving and the breeding ewes in particular are in splendid order, in contrast to many of the Hawke's Bay breeding flocks. The new season lambs are very forward, well grown and stutdy, and unusually well done by their mothers. Splendid lambing percentages are reported, one faraier in the Matawhero district having already 127 per cent., with some ewes yet to lamb. Hoggets, generally, are well-grown and very forward, and sliould come off* the shears in good order. Already large numbers are booked for the Wajwato district, and once the season starts many mobs will be on the-road. The new season 's crop of stationbred calVes are well developed and vigorous. The cows, which are in exceptional order, are able to do their calves well. Prospects for the coming season for pastoralists in that distriet are exceedingly bright, and with the wonderful order that the stoek is in it will be in keen demand from outsid.e dis1 triuts.
