First aid Avas rendered to the sufferer, who was then brought -across eountiy to the residence of Mr and Mrs D. Morrison apd thence to the nurse. Whilst some by-roads residents are annoyed by tho wild pig, the main, road ones arc troubled by the Pukaki, which eat the young grass and destroy the newly sown seeds. These birds are protected and T think it must be on account of their glorious plumage, as it is indeed it is a majestic spectacle to witness 40 or 50 of these birds, on a green paddock; but considering 'the damage done, it a,ppears as though a few could be spared for gamo in the shooting season as it might help to scare them from coming as near as two yards from a resident's door-step.
