SEVERE WEATHER
mortality among sheep,
Press Association,
TIMARU, December 23.
To-day has been like midsummer—the first fine clear day since October 26th. The sky is overcast again to-night, however. Heavy, cold rains fell at the end of last week, especially in tho Fairlie district. A good deal of snow fell on the ranges, and tho cold snap has caused the death of numbers of freshlyshorn sheep. It is reported that 200 out of 280 in one flock died, and motherless lambs will probably follow.
