The fat lamb season in the Waikato promises to be brought to an abrupt end within the next fortnight unless rain falls in the interval (states the “New Zealand Herald”) Lambs are tisuallv kept in the Waikato on rape and grass until June, but the dry weather has so seriously affected the rape crons ami pastures that there is not sufficient feed available for the lambs, which are being sent forward to tlie Southdown Freezing Works in large numbers, and are being killed for export. Other sheep are faring fairly well on the dry pastures, and there is a keen demand for breeding ewes.
