THE KILLING OF CALVES.

WHOLESALE SLAUGHTER. A HARVEST OF SKINS. In common with other dairying districts at this time of the year a very brisk trade is being done on the Hauraki Plains in calf-skins. Ohe buyer alone has, since the commencement of the season, purchased on an average about 1000 skins a week. He is of opinion that the number of skins he will handle during the present season will be greatly in excess of that of previous seasons, and intentions in support that in the course of his travels the greatest number of calves he has found being reared on any one farm is fourteen. As a rule the number kept is four or six, as farmers have learnt that it does not pay to breed for market. Some of the farmers on the Plains keep all their caivejs and make a good. proflt by selling them as vealers.
