Two young iadiso. Miss Ratemeyer and Nurse Kirk, a visitor from Australia, set out from Napier last week on a 100-mile walk to Taupo (says the Napier Telergaph). They stayed at Eskdale the first night, Te Pohao the second, and Tarawera the third. From Tarawera to Taupo, a distance cf 44 miles, was done in two days, the pair staying the intervening night at Rangitaiks. The road is hilly almost the whole way. and is considered to be one of the worst in the North Island, SO that anart f?nm t.ho onlnal distance of "3 Lambing percentages in the Waituna, Rangitikei, district are very satisfactory, and the young stock is in splendid condition. Mortality amongst ewes is almost infinitesimal, and, with iambs' wool at Is 2d per lb the price obtained by Mr D. sheep-farmers are doing exceeaingjy well. A Feilding Star reporter was on a farm where 107 per cent, of lambs had been docked, and an extra ;> per cent, had arrived since docking was commenced.
