WELLINGTON NEWS NOTES.
(Fbom Our Own Corbespondent.)
WELLINGTON, April 16.
From the live stock returns furnished up to 15th November last to-the Agricultural department, it appears that' dairymen are likely to find a difficulty in renewing their herds. Last year's return show that - the number of young cattle had' decreased by no less than 30,812 compared with the 1897 returns. It is said that this is accounted for through, the practice in Taranaki and other dairying districts of destroying calves in order to increase the supply of milk for the factories. ■'< Between 70 and 80 deers' heads have been secured by stalkers ih the Wairarapa district this season, some of them- exceedingly fine ones. Mr John Ross, the well-known Martinborough sportsman, has ' himself secured 16 heads, one carrying antlers of 16 tines, and another of 13, ,
lam glad to be able-to report that a great improvement is manifest- in the condition of Mr John Duthie. .
