That geese are profitable birds on a farm where there -is a fair supply of water available is evidenced from the fact that a farmer in Manawatu nets at least £5O each year from the sale , of young birds at Christmas time. The geese need no attention if allowed their freedom, and live mostly ongrass. The following passage occurs in a letter received in Christchurch from a Wellingtonian at present in Sydney (says the "Christchurch Press”) : Although Aussde is a Wonderful big country, and Sydney a great city, New Zealand takes a lot of beating, in dur opinion. To my mind, one of the most deplorable things here is the way the country seems .to be dri/ting towards Bolshevism, and the blindness of the educated people towards what, if they don’t wake up, will hit • them bang very soon, dr I’m much mistaken. Sane Labour is all right; and I think there are. still many sensible men to be found in its, ranks, but, unfortunately,. they are howled down by the, loud-mouthed Bolshevists. Queensland is. now practically under their thumb, and New* South Wales is being rapidly ‘white-anted’ by them, as it is termed. The shipping strike is a most serious thing for the country. I am only hoping that we can get away home before there is a big strike to ptop everything. Pleasure and money-making engross people so much’ that they have no time to think of. anything ■ else. Possibly a big upheaval will, be * the best thing for them, but I think the experience will cost them dearly,”
