WAIKOKOWAI.
(Own Correspondent) The good rains which fell at the end of last month have done an immense amount of good to the country out here, and pasture lands are improving already. The rain seems to have even softened the faces of the farmers themselves, for each one you meet has now a broad smile, whereas formerly there was nothing but gloom. After being in the Hospital for nine weeks, Mrs Rusmussen has gone North to visit her daughter. As Mr. J. Brown of Waikokowai was going into Huntly last Saturday, his horses took fright at a bicycle on the roadside. The horses plunged about until they broke the pole of the waggon, the waggon then running back down Hill on to Mr. Izatt’s horses, which were coming up behind. There was every indication of a serious accident occurring, but by his able management of his horses, Mr Brown got everything straightened up, and the only damage done was to the waggon pole. Mr. T. Tapp has just finished harvesting his oats and wheat of both of which he has a good crop considering the unfavourable season. The lambswoil se.it to town by Mr A. Jami.sm, realised a shilling in a pound, winch must be considered very satisfactory indeed.
