PLEURISY AMONG EWES.
ORINI DOWNS OUTBREAK.
[BT TELSaaiPH.— OWN CORHKSPOKDEKT.] ORINT, Saturday. The very wet weather conditions and the resultant flush of spring grass caused an attack of pleurisy among some fine breeding ewes on the Orini Downs Estate. Within the epace of a week the owners lost about 30 odd ewes. Those ewes which had lambed were immune and, unfortunately for the owners, each death meant the loss of two lives, the ewa and her unborn lamb. Prompt measures by the Department of Agriculture, however, stayed the epidemic, and now the manager of the estate reports that all danger is ever.
