RECORD LAMBING.
(By Telegraph.) (Special to "Chronicle.") '
| AUCKLAND, December 12. As far -as can be judged from conversations Avith-settlers from the interior, it appears that the lambing percentages amongst the large flocks have been equally .as good as the returns ob/tamed from smaller flocks located in more settled districts /writes the* Lower Waikato correspondent o? the "Herald"). During the early stages of the season, when a rough time was experienced by mew arrivals through the boisterous weather prevailing, flockmasters opined that the percentages would fall short of those obtained last season —generally from 70 to <80 per cent— but completion 'of docking operations has revealed the fact that unusually high percentages have been the order, and in no instances are the percentages below 90, while the general average is nearer the 100 mark. ami from all accounts it is fairly safe to assume that t.ho increases constitute a, record.
