On the second day, after proceeding with some tmvn sections, Mr Wallace put up the agricultural and pastoral lands, but the bidding not being satisfactory, tho vendor requested that the sale might tie withdrawn. At the same time, the audi- . ence were informed that the estate would • be sold privately in lots, as surveyed and mapped, and that intending purchasers could visit the property and select what they wanted to pu-chaae. Mr Martin's son, who resides at Huangaroa, will point out any sections that parties may require, A gill of raw (unboiled) linseed oil given to a sow just before and after farrowing will prevent the disposstion to eat her oilspring. Perfect quiet and isolation are considerations which should not be neglected. A well-known English authority, Sir John Seabright, very truly says, we must observe the smallest tendency to imperfection in our stock the moment it ap■p™, 30 as to be able to counteract it it becomes a defect, as a ropedancer, to preserve his equilibrium, must correct the balance before it ia gone too far, and then not by such a motion as will incline it too much to tho opposite side. The breeder's success will entirsly depend upon the degree in which he may happen to possess this particular talent. He also lays dmyn this additional maxim : —Try the young males with a few females, the quality of whose produce has been already ascertained; by this means we shall know the sort of stock they get, and the description of females'to which they are best adapted.
