Attention is drawn to the sale appearing in these columns of the complete dispersal sale of stud Southdown sheep on account of R. L. Levin, Esq., Westella, Feilding. This well-known flock offers breeders and farmers a splendid opportunity to acquire foundation ewes from a very old-established flock full of blood from some of New Zealand’s outstanding flocks, namely, James Knight’s (Matatua No., 54) and Messrs Hugh Burrel and Sons’ (Pariroa flock No. 142). The flock has been bred under absolutely natural conditions, being grass fed only. Westella flock rams have been keenly sought after, being adequate testimony to their quality and constitution. The sale takes place at the Feilding Showgrounds on Friday, February 8, 1935, at the commencement of the annual sale of flock Southdown rams held by the A. and P. Association.

On a recent fishing expedition to Starvation Bay, just outside Lyttelton Heads, a member of the party captured a baby seagull and decided to take it home as a pet. The mother followed the dinghy out to the launch, and kept an eye on the boat all the way back to Lyttelton, a distance of about. ten miles, and it was only after the inner harbour was reached that the mother was lost sight of (reports the Christchurch Star). The chicken was brought through to Christchurch that night and installed in its new home at Bromley. About 10 o’clock the following day, when the new pet was squatting on the lawn of the house at Bromley, the parent seagull swooped down, picked it up in its beak, and flew off again in the direction of Lyttelton. This story is supplemented by another, not quite so remarkable, but equally well attested. During a nor’-west gale at Lyttelton two newly-fledged sparrows were blown out of their nest in the guttering of a shed on the wharf and fell into the water, where they floated temporarily. At that stage a seagull flew down, picked them up one after another, and replaced them on the deck of the wharf.

Nobody enjoys a cough and cold at any time, but in summer time these complaints are absolutely devastating.
