OYSTKR FARMS. I understand that correspondence has been going on between tho secretary of the Wellington Acclimatisation Society and Mr. J. J, Armistead, the well-known expert in pisciculture, of Dumfries. From the papers placed at my disposal I learn that the shores of the North Island are specially suitable for oyster breeding on a large scale. DAIRY PRODUCE. Mr. S. Lowe, dairy expert, has been appointed examiner of dairy produce from this colony in London. The appointment appears to have given great satisfaction to consignees and others interested in the London market.
