A CORRECTION.
TO THE EDITOR OP THE MANAWATO HERALD. Sir,—l notice in your paper on Thursday that the time given for the winner of the plucking competition at the Palmerston Show as 18 minutes Msecs., which is a mistake. The proper time for the three birds was loimo. aasecs. I have corrected this in justice to myself, as it makes me out to be terribl'y slow. Although admitting being slow and seeing that my opponent has been continually at it ana I having done no more than two dozen birds within the last twelve months, I don't think there was such a lot in my beating after- all. I would like to state through the medium of your valuable paper that at the Palmerston Show last July, igoa, when I was Government grader, I killed and plucked a barn door hen in less than a minute, and prepared it for export in less than two minutes, and am quite prepared to do it again In public anywhere, providing I had a little practice for one day. Hoping I have not taken up too much space of your paper, and thanking you for insertion of this letter. —I am, &c., . W. H. Blowers, * Poultry Expert. Foxton, July 31st., 1903.
