FARMING AND COMMERCIAL

feilding stock sale

" STORE CATTLE IMPROVE. There war; a brighter sale for store cattle resterday at Feilding, a heavy yarding neeting with an improved inquiry. Most lines sold well, vendors meeting the market in the cases where quotations failed to reach the reserve. Fat cattle were not penned in large numbers, the supply available being quickly disposed of at late rates. (For dairy heifers the inquiry was much ftho same as usual, but the few cows in the [ yards met with a poor sale. Fat ewes f were a bit easier in value owing to the. m- ; creased yarding, but a slight improvement was shown in the case of two-tooths ana wethers. Store sheep were all cleared at prices on a. par with last week’s rates with the exception of shorn wethers which found • the market weaker.

In tho store sheep, oi which there was a small entry, ewes with lambs sold readily, shorn wethers declined in value and lines of empty shorn fattening ewes met with little enquiry.

STOLEN FINE WOOL.

PACKED IN HIDING PLACES

Inquiries by Detectives S. C. M illianis, of Newcastle, and J. Dogan, of Tamworth, are believed by the police to have disclosed the existence of highly efficient organisation for marketing stolen wool (states a Sydney paper). . The results of tire police inquiries suggest that the alleged thieves would find a hiding-place in rough country near a shed which was about to begin shearing. After sunset on the day the shearing had begun, the thieves would take away to tho hiding place a wool pack and as much fine fleece wool as they could carry. More wool and

as many, more packs as were necessary would be taken from the shed on following evenings. The wool would be pressed down by feet and hands inside the packs until these were full and could he sewn up- —making bales of wool which might appear to have been badly packed, but which would hear no indication of stolen origin when they reached legitimate buyers.

By tile time the shed was ready to cut out the sheepowner would be bitterly disappointed at the small number of bales of first quality wool which he had for market. The stolen wool, under cover of night, would be removed from the hiding-place and rolled down to a road where a vehicle was waiting to take it , on a long journey.

Detectives travelled more than 1000 miles during their inquiries, and one of the most remarkable hiding-places found by them was among great boulders in almost trackless country in the Moonbi Ranges.

An example of a well-stocked small farm is quoted by the W.airoa Star. Mr John Down, a native farmer resident at North Clyde, Iras an area of 33 acres, on which lie is running 32 milking cows, two bulls, nine calves, and a draught horse, as well as pigs and poultry. This farmer expressed the opinion that there is a splendid living in a small area such as his, provided the owner and his family, are not afraid of work.

A North Canterbury station owner states that in a flock of over 7000 ewes in his part of the district—halfbred Romneys—which have just been shorn, there were 1668 ewe hoggets. In February last the hoggets numbered 1670, so only' two died. The owner attributes this result to dipping the hoggets early and so avoiding chances of a chill from autumn weatner, also to using lime (3-ton to acre) on the grass land, and above all to his own particular sheep lick, given ad lib. There were no ticks.
