KAIPARORO.

I After a fortnight of delightful weather, much needed rain has fallen. Unfortunately it has been accompanied by rather stiff north-wes-terly gales, which will probably do considerable harm to fruit tree?, etc The manager of the Cheese Factory, Mr McUann and hisassistant, Mr McAnulty, are now kept very busy, as each day adds to the quantity of milk being delivered by suppliers. Owing to the high price obtained for cattle during the past season, many of the are this year pajing more attention to the rearing of calves. Quail are very plentiful in this district, and a few pheasants are al3o to be seen.

Kinca the erection of the Mt. Bruce bridge over the Ruamahunga river, a few rabbits have put in an appearance. Before this the river formed an efficient barrier, and "bunny" had to confine Himself to the Miki Miki district; where he has always proved a pest to farmers. Fortunately for settlers in the Forty I Mile Bush districts, rabbits appear !to increase very slowly—either the i climate is too wet for them, or the soil is unsuitable ior burrowing. Much sympathy is felt for Mr and Mrs HanseD, of the Mt. Bruce Road, over the death of their infant sod, which occurred unexpectedly ou Monday evenng owing to whooping cough. The interment took place on Thursday at the Eketahuna Cemetery. On Friday night a well loaded drag proceeded from here to Nireaha to attend a ball given by the footballers of the district to wind up the football season.

A euchre party and dance, arranged by the Schoo ! Committee, in aid of the school funds, was held on Saturday evening in the local bail. Saturday evening dances have become a regular institution and all look forward to them with a good deal of pleasure.
