An. impression seems to have got abroad (says a Blenheim paper) that, sending eggs long, distances by post tend.« to destroy tneir fertility. : This idea is disproved by the fact that Mr. D. A. Sturrocks, of Blenheim, recently posted a sitting of 12 eggs to Fairfield, N.S.W., and has received information that 11 of the eggs produced healthv-looking chicks, only one egg bring infertile. A Taronaki farmer who lias recently returned from Australia says that "Sydney is the place to sell horses.'' He saw a pair of ponies sold for £180— one for £100 and the other for £80. A fine pair of buggy horses brought £120. Sheep also were' at a high value, upwards of £5 being obtain--able for good- ewes.'
