STOCK-RAISING OUTLOOK.
BUYER'S HOPEFUL PROPHECY. Speaking to our Wairarapa correspondent, a well-known meat buyer stated that the mild sea-son was the cause,of tho fact that stock generally were in the best of health. Tho only exceptions were weakly-nurtured lambs, which were scouring a good .deal. Their death would be no great loss. There was every probability that the coming'spring would be the most successful for farmers in the history, of Now Zealand. The splendid manner in which fat stock was coming along now, and the fact that in a few months thousands of acres of new grass-growing areas would be opened, were the reasons of his prediction. There, would bo plenty of pasture land to fatten all the stock that would bo coming forward, t and with a meat scarcity in Argentine and in America, he thought that tho Now Zealand farmers' chances of business would be very rosy. The prologue to tins enviable season should bo, however, another four or six weeks of nico mild weather.
