NEW SOUTH WALES STOCK.
A contributor to the Sydney Town and Country Journal , in an article upon the breeding of animals in New South Wales, says :—“ In one year our breeders have been forced to pay the Colony of New Zealand £50,000 for heavy draught mares, and £IO,OOO for heavy or working horses. From the same place nearly all our horse peas, beans, linseed, carrots and potatoes come. We have been compelled to pay the other Colonies almost £IOO,OOO for stud sheep and £30,000 for stud cattle, and while all this is going on wo talk about our superiority and advancement, yet few believe it, for few only come hero for our stud cattle or horses, so that our boast is a mere delusion. Let ns look at the thing straight, and say what wo mean to do.”
