The Ashburton County Council expended £1648,6s 3d in the destruction or small birds for the vear 1910-11 ended March 31(say s tho 'Guardian'/. ias been decided to discontinue supplying poisoned grain to farmers, out the whole question will lx> reviewed at the Council's next meeting, when some decision will be arrived at as to whether the heads of small birds will be purchased this season. f"9nrjrsy tj: •* Tho last twelve months have been a troublous time for the retail butchers in Auckland. The season is affirmed to be the worst for 25 years, six butchers having been compelled to close down during the last three months. The president of the Auckland .Master Butchers Association thinks the price of meat will be dearer than for many years past. Captain Bollons, of the Government steamer Hinemoa, reports the existence of an uncharted rock inside Twins Rock, in the Bay of Islands, between the two being a clear passage with 17 fathoms of water. He also reports uncharted rocks at the Three Kings, three having a depth of water over them at low tide of only 8 feet, 5 feet- and 4 feet respectively. South Taranaki motorists have discovered a new pastime. They put up hares on the main roads and course them for miles. One man, so the Manaia paper affirms, put up no less than eight the other night on the road between Hawera and Alalia ia, whilst another motorist coursed one for miles, and then, in the words of the paper, "the car called up its reserve speed and gave the hare its quietus!"

Ail innovation was made in the conduct or the Wyndham stock salo last month and repeated on Thursday (says the 'Herald'). The change is an appreciated improvement, too, being in the nature of a time-saver. The sales of cattle and sheep are made to proceed .simultaneously, Generally those who want sheep do not want cattle, and thus • there are sections of clients with independent requirements, whose wants are met hy the separate sales ot sheep and cattle. The result is that operators at the sale are enabled to get through their business in good time.

The report was adopted. The treasurer reported that the hank pass-books showed a credit at Invercargill of £1202 and at Bluff of £11.").'), a total credit of £27 10.

In spito of the decrease of £(il 9s 3d, the net increase for the year up to April .'SO amounts to £I(M 12s lid.
