MANGARONGA NOTES.
(From Our Own Correspondent). The feed in this district is excellent, and as a consequence a larger number of fat sheep than usual have been sent out of the district. Messrs Anderson Bros, have been very foitunate with fat lambs, getting 90 per cent, away out of the first draft, while Mr Cittadini got 86 per cent, away. Culled lambs are a missing article this year. There are twenty acres of rape and about four acres of turnips in our small district this year, which is probably ten acres more than the aggregate in any previous year. ; Some of the rape is of exceptional size, one root on Mr Cittadini's property was measured on Monday last, ; and totalled 48 inches. The weather ' has been exceptionally good from our ! point of view. Very little hay was required to be saved, as our settlers i are now all sheep-farming.
