-The pleasant spring conditions being experienced are proving very welcome in the country districts. Last week the grass was coming away nicely and there is a fresh green appearance in the paddocks. As the cows are now coming in rapidly, the grass will be needed. A fortnight of good growing weather should provide plenty of feed, and make the start of the season, a very gcod one. Generally the stock have come through the winter season exceptionally well, and is in good condition, in, spite of the heavy frosts experienced earlier in the season. The lambing season is now almost completed in this district for several seasons past, and excellent returns are the general rule.
