COWS TO SHEEP
BETTER PAYING PROPOSITION.
On account of the continuance of low prices for dairy produce and the more payable rates ruling for mutton and wool one of the largest landholders in the Manawaru district has decided to give up dairying at the end of the present season, and to stock up the whole of his property with sheep. As the owner, also, of a large sheep station property in the Gisborne district, he is in possession of the full knowledge of which is the more payable proposition. It is more than probable that other large landholders in that district will go back to sheep, as it is fully felt that with the present butter-fat rates neither the owner or share-milker has any feeling of satisfaction.
