30 LAMBS IN THE KITCHEN
SHELTER FROM SOUTHERN STORM. WIND AND SLEET IN CANTERBURY. By Telegraph—Press Association. Ashburton, Sept. 11. Stormy weather in the past two days has accounted for the death of many lambs. Lambing is in full swing in most districts, and .conditions have seldom been worse. Farmers , however, took early precautions., and are now busy transporting the new lambs to houses and sheds. In some homesteads up to 30 lambs are being cared for in the kitchens. Snow has been general, but light. The worst feature of the storm is a strong, bitterly cold wind with sleet. Little snow is lying on the plains, but the hill country is deeply coated. The cold and stormy weather continues throughout Canterbury, being particularly severe in the back country. There was a further snowfall early this morning, but fortunately it was light, and no additional losses of lambs are reported.
