INGLEWOOD.

(From Our Own Correspondent.) Jan. 13. For some six years or thereabout a swarm of bees has been established beneath the roof of one of our hotela, and as they have attended strictly to their business, as / all good citizens should, they have not been interviewed by inquisitive busy-bodies nor molested by marauders of their stores. On a recent Thursday, however, their colonising instincts apparently gained sway with a large portion of the tribe, anti quite a strong swarm settled on one of the verandah posts and displayed their buzzing capabilities to an admiring circle of onlookers. After occupying their position in peace for some time they were quietly transferred by a young man, “who evidently, knew his business, into a suitable receptacle and conveyed to a new home. It is generally admitted that the weekly stock sales at Inglewood hold a prominent place amongst such fixtures in Taranaki, and are carefully watched by all parties interested. It is to be hoped, therefore, that last Wednesday’s sale in Newton King, Ltd.’s yards will not prove a foretaste of succeeding ones for 1922. Sales about holiday rftne, more especially when as now farmers are as busy as the weather will permit, are seldom brilliant affairs, and with markets as dull as they have been lately nothing exciting was to be expected. Not many people were present, nor was there much of a yarding. Fifteen months Jersey heifers sold for £2 13s 6d, store cows £2 2s 6d to £2 10s, bulls up to £1 15s, ewes made 4s to 6s, lambs 8s 9d. and wethers 10s 6d to 12s.
