Writing to a friend in New Zealand, a young Australian fanner, ot Gieentidd, Massachussets, says: —“ Things here in the States have been going on fairly well. We have had a terrible money market, which makes things rather bad just now. The sheep position is satisfactory. We received from is to is 3d for our wool, and from 9d to 35s a head for our lambs. The winter promises to be a hard one, and as hay is short and grain is high, I expect a poor lambing period next spring. We have been fairly successful ourselves, but the'autumn pastures have been very poor and the lambs have fallen off. Our sheep sheared about ylb of wool, all through, which is not so bad. We are using Southdown rams this winter, so as to have lambs in May. Stomach worms are onr greatest trouble.”
