SLAUGHTERED INNOCENTS
COSTLY MISTAKE A Te Aroha breeder of pedigree Jersey stock is on the logk-out for scalps among the railway officials at Frankton Junction. Recently he dispatched 10 pedigree calves to a customer at Makarau, North Auckland, and when the truck reached Frankton it was hitched on to a train-load of three-day victims for sacrifice at Horatiu. The slaughtermen were evidently not experts in breeding, and the heads ofg the aristocrats fell beneath the knife. The owner has lodged a claim for £l5O against the department, and the outcome is awaited with interest.
