By Tereor. VII.— OWAKA. Mr J. Peterson has a Minorca cockerel of Irvine's strain, and several first-year hens bred from him and Seacliff hens. All are of wonderfully good type. The hens bred from are likely birds from which to get good stock, being large, shapely, and generally; speaking correct at all points. Some of them, Mr Peterson tells me, have proved grand layers.- A lot of about 20 this season pullets shown me impressed me as being the finest I ba-ve seen in my travels, and, bred from such stock, can he trusted to dev-elop on their present good lines. Mr Peterson has, in addition to the foregoing, a number of buff Orpingtons of good strains, and his chickens of this breed sJiow the result of judicious mating. This fanciers' methods of housing and feediaig are in every way up-to-date, and what with the attention he gives and the advantages of practically free ranges which his birds obtain, I was not surprised to Team that he is encouraged to launch out into poultrvkeeping for profit on a large scale. His ground is practically virgin soil ; it may be exposed to winds, but it is well situated for sun. and, providing shelter is afforded. I cannot imagine better conditions, jjartieuI laily in view of the near proximity of the railway. In view of the holidays I have to curtail my notes this week, and merely write the foregoing to keep to my promise of last week.
