ORMAGLADE.
On Ormaglade Station, again, I saw thouands of 1 acres of rich land, every inch of it suited to agriculture. This estate is the property of Mrs Fraser, and is managed by Mr Menzies, while Messrs Murray, Roberts, and 00. are agents for the owner, who is absent from the colony. In addition to the large area of pastoral country held, there ar& 7000 acres freehold, and about 12,000 sheep are grazed. The Ormaglade country is of more broken character than that on Teviot, but it is still good agricultural land. Turnips of first-class quality are raised here for winter feed, but only sufficient grain for home consumption purposes is grown. In the case of Ormaglajle, again, the river silt with phosphates prevails, and manure is unnecessary.
