FROM THIRD-CLASS LAND
The returns for November from 100 acres of land on the intersection of the Rowan-Eltham road is quoted by the owner as showing what can be done on third-class land in this part of Taranaki, says the “Elthain Argus.” For butterfat lie received £139, for part of last year’s bonus £lO, and for pigs £l3, making a total of £162. So far this month the farm is showing even better results. He is milking 40 cows and runs twelve heifers and several horses on the section. About £SO worth of top-dressing was put on last year, being the only top-dressing that the land has received. The returns is small per acre compared to wha/ti some of the first-class farms are producing, hut it is a credit to the fanner’s industry and toil and an example to others who view the dairy farmer’s life with other than optimistic prospects.
