Discussing the lasting qualities o' New Zealand yellow pine, a corre spondent of the "Manawatu Daily Times" says that the house owned by Mr A. Fraser, at Foxton, and built by the Rev. J. Duncan, about 80 years ago, of the same wood, is still sound and flawless.. It is so hard that a nail cannot be driven, into any part of it. There is some doubt whether "yellow pine," now supposed to be extinct, is a distinct species, or merely the heart of a mature kahikatca (white pine).
