A ymmj' soldier who look up a hush L'arm in the Kin# Country says that it is riot all lavender till one gels properly into the running’ of things. Ho thinks there is more to learn in bush farming than in any other department-of life. He took up the place in tine weather, and the surroundings looked lovely, hut since then the gales and the rain have come, and a different story could be bold (states tiie Auckland Star). Amongst his losses he mentions that two cows died through eating poisonous leaves, two were killed by lightning during a recent storm, while two more with a young’ bull got through the back boundary fence, and have -wandered away into the bush, pud will probably never be seen again, although lie has spent a whole week in searching for them. Pioneering life, he thinks, is full of incident, and it tests the size of a man's heart and his eapaeity for doing tilings.
