The wild pip problem is very acute in the bark country, many of the farmers having suffered heavy losses in the lambing season through the depredations of these animals. A settler who has had heavy losses in the past has forwarded to the Te Kulti Chamber of Commerce a letter embodying what he has found a cheap and efficacious way of eliminating the pigs from his property. If, is well known that pigs possess a particularly keen scent,' and a highly developed taste for strong-smelling food. Herein lies the remedy. Kill an old horse or bullock and hang the carcase where the pigs are known to gather, but well out of their reach. Let the "bait" remain in position, and from time to time place a "feed" of phosphorised pollard and meat beneath it. S'.-yeb-nine should not be used, as It will kill the pics before they can get to their bush lairs, and the farm dogs will be poisoned Ihroucrh eatinpr carcases. Phosphorus arts more slowly and creatr-s a rapine thirst, which drives the pics back into the bush in search of water. The writer adds that since he has used this method of poisoning he has not lost a lamb through pigs, and has seen no sign of the pests about the farm.
