EXPERIMENTAL FARMS.
A HIGH IDEAL.
[by telegraph. rnESs association.]
Wellington, Wednesday. Speaking at Levin, the Minister for Lands said good" work had been accomplished at the experimental station, and there was extensive and important work before it. At Levin farm special attention was being given to the raising of an ideal milking strain, and he was confident that in a few years they would have a milk-producing herd ; which had not had its superior recorded in the agricultural journals of the world. At present the Veterinary Department was conducting experiments with tuberculosis in cattle, and without indicating precisely what had been accomplished he would say that this session Parliament would be asked to pass legislation of a kind which would not only prevent tubercular cattle from going into human consumption, but would prevent consumption from ever going into a herd.
