AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
The North Canterbury Bacon Curing Company has decided to go into liquidation, its operations having been conducted at a loss. The reasons assigned are severe competition in the buying of stock and the selling of products and insufficient capital. Wool of the value of £2,276,786 was exported from New Zealand for the quarter ending- 31st March, 1893.
Mr Peatherstonhaugh, we learn from the Sydney Mail, lately exhibited a large number of rams and ewes imported by him from New Zealand at Homebush, where they were inspected by a large number of persons interested in raising sheep for the butcher. The imported sheep are mostly Border Leicesters, a breed which crosses well with merinoes, the produce being a large-framed sheep much liked by butchers, while the fleece is a highly profitable one.
