South Africa.
DIFFICULTIES OF RESTOCKING.
A Blue-book dealing with the question of land settlement and the re-stocking of farms in the Transvaal and Orange River .Colony has been published. It states that Lord Milner* High Commissioner in South Africa, m a despatch dated 22nd December, said that though the Transvaal had commenced the raising of Stock* probably nowhere was’ it harder to acclimatise imported stock than in the Transvaal,
It would be a pity, he said, to send pedigree stock in any quantity until there was a reasonable prospect that they would be able to survive the climate and the change of pasture. On the 16th February, the Bluebook states, there were 141 occupants of burghers’ camps in the Transvaal and 490 in the Orange River Colony. There were for the most part destitute women and children and aged and infirm men. There were 370 land settlers in the Transvaal and 362 in the Orange River Colony.
