The Waitaki Acclimatisation Society proposed to liberate 50 pairs of Californian quail almost immediately, some on Mr Milligan’s Kauroo Hill property, and the remainder in the society’s ground for breeding purposes, the Ground Committee having suggested that as the breeding of imported ducks has not been very successful sonie attention should now bo given to quail and pheasants. It is the aim of the council to liberate quail all through the district. The great, grim Dreadnought cleft the wave, The people cheered like fun, The good old Jack flew from the peak, The warship fired a gun. While Austral’s fate is on the seas Her health will bo secure If she builds bulwarks round her hearths With Woods’ Great Peppermint Cure.
