“Don’t talk to us about hedgehogs being good for clearing gardens of snails and slugs,” said a Kio Kio settler the other day. ‘‘They are a real pest and have a great weakness for eggs. They clean up garden pests all right, but one duck will eat as many slugs And snails In a day as a hedgehog will in a month. The hedgehogs in this district, and a.lso in the Kawa swamp, eat a great many eggs of wild duck, pukeko and turkeys. What with stoats, weasels and ferrets killing the birds it is no -wonder there is very little game here for sportsmen. The hedgehogs were introduced to Kio Kio district about 15 years ago, and we setters here -all regret it.” "PRICE’S”—FOR THE PICNIC. j Those week-end jaunts and wayside ! picnics can be made ail the more enjoyable if you’ve tucked away in the cac a rew bottles of that delicious cordial made with I Price’s Concentrated heverag-e.
