STORM SWEEPS ASHBURTON COUNTY.
MORTALITY AMONG- LAMBS. (By Telegraph—Press Association), ASHBURTON, ,This Hay. A severe storm which has swept the Ashiburton County during the last two days has accounted for the death of many lambs, but the losses are not heavy. With the lambing season in full swing in most districts, conditions have seldom been worse for the farmers. However, they took early precautions and are now busy transporting the new lambs to houses and sheds. In some homesteads up to thirty lambs are being cared for in kitchens. The snow has been general, but light. The worst feature of the storm is the heavy bitterly cold wind with sleet. Little snow is lying on the plains, but the hill country is deeply coated.'
