FARM AND DAIRY.

PEDIGREE FKIESIANS. A great opportunity will be offered to lovers of the blaek-and»whites at tta sale at "Racelands," Lepperton, on Thursday next, to secure some very hfcrh-olaaa pedigree Friesians. When Clifford Bros, sold their whole ptud in 1918 it was their intention to retire for a time from taking an Active part in stud farming, but the lote-of the black-and-whitea compelled them to-iave a few around them, and it was from the pick of the herds in the Man&w&tu district that they purchased a few choicelybred cows, from which they hoped to be able to breed something to eventually make one of the leading ;stud Friesiau farm herds in the North Island. .

As a sire they selected a young bull,Winana Van Segis, who is now three years old, and is by King Segig Witdroge Homestead, out of Colahthus Quean He is, therefore, closely related to the* late champion bull King' Fayne Segi* H. In fact, to see this young bull in the paddock one would imagine that it was the old bull that they were admiring. The "Badlands" property has been sold, and Messrs Clifford Bros:'will have to vacate at the end of this Jnonri; therefore they are forced (much against their will) to dispose of their fine little herd.
