THE ANNUAL SHEEP RETURNS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MAY, 1883.

Presented to both Houses of the General Assembly by Command of His Excellency.

Mr. B. P. Batl,y to the Hon. the Colonial Secbetaby. Sib, — Colonial Secretary's Office (Stock Branch), Wellington, 6th June, 1884. I have the honour to lay before you the annual sheep returns for the year ending 31st May, 1883. The total number of sheep in the colony on that date was 13,306,329, the previous year being 12,408,106, showing an increase of 898,223 in the twelvemonths. Of this increase, Canterbury and Napier contribute over 542,000; Wellington and Marlborough, 290,000; Auckland, stationary; Nelson, a slight increase ; whilst for Otago, which last year showed a decrease, I am able to report that the returns this year show an increase of more than 42,000. The classification of sheep can approximately be taken as follows: Merino, males, 3,250,733; females, 4,064,499. Long-wool, males, 432,322; females, 769,417. Cross-bred, males, 1,837,502 ; females, 2,951,856. Total, males, 5,520,557; females, 7,785,772 : making a grand total of 13,306,329. The exports have amounted to 250,154: of these, 2,382 were shipped alive; the balance, 247,772, being shipped in a frozen state, Port Chalmers contributing 86,781; Lyttelton, 80,920; Wellington, 46,803 ; Bluff, 16,297 ; Napier, 9,003 ; and Auckland, 7,968. The boiling-down establishments have treated 54,873, of which Napier has furnished the greater portion. For meat-preserving purposes 91,490 were used, chiefly in Napier and Canterbury. The imports have amounted to 1,020; Australia supplying 423; England, 357; Chatham Islands, 171; and Tasmania 69. Tabulated form B, attached, shows the number of sheep in each county on the 31st May, 1883, together with the number of infected sheep in each district on the 31st March, 1884. It will be seen that there is, unfortunately, an increase of 107,354 infected sheep for the year. This has taken place principally on the east coast of the North Island, and in the Marlborough District: in both cases the effect was caused through wild sheep having mixed with clean flocks. This occurred in late winter or early spring, which, being succeeded by a season of unprecedented severity, precluded the owners from employing measures for the treatment of their stock with the same promptness as otherwise might have been done. Fencing, in the first case, and a thorough scouring of the unoccupied country in Marlborough, together with the destruction of all wild sheep found thereon, will, I hope, prevent a recurrence of infection from this cause. Since the weather has settled, and continuous work carried out, I am happy to state a great reduction in the number has been effected. From March quarter to the present date about 120,000 have been taken off the infected list, and I trust to see a still further reduction by the end of the June quarter. Another serious drawback to the extermination of the disease is caused by many owners persisting in using patent dipping fluids, not one of which, in my experience, being thoroughly reliable as a curative for scab. For lice and ticks they may be serviceable, but for scab the sulphur and lime dip is always thoroughly effective, nor do I think any other treatment should be recognized by the department as satisfactory when dealing with that disease. Few, if any, of the patent dips can be used at a sufficient heat to be efficacious, and without heat dipping is very uncertain in its effect. The composition of these patent dipping fluids often varies, which renders the result most unsatisfactory. The Kaikoura Subdivision still contains the largest number of infected sheep. Since last year's report two of the infected runs in that subdivision have changed ownership. Fencing is now being proceeded with, and there is every likelihood of scab being eradicated. It is but fair to state that the last season has been specially hard upon these owners: having high mountainous and part bush country to deal with, severe weather is felt more than on lower country. I still retain the opinion I held last year, that on portions of this country the only solution of the difficulty will be in fencing off the rough and timbered portions, and destroying all sheep that may be found thereon. During the past twelve months several convictions have been obtained against the owners of scabby sheep, and, although severe penalties have been inflicted, their flocks are still infected. Had the same steps been taken three years since that are now being followed by the owners a different state of affairs would exist, and it becomes a question whether the estreating of these heavy fines •will tend to clean the country any more expeditiously.

I have been under the impression for some time that amended legislation is now required todeal with these cases, and that an alteration in the present Sheep Act would render it more workable. The substitution of either section 47, " Otago Diseased Sheep Act, 1875," or section 2 " Canterbury Sheep Ordinance 1864 Amendment Ordinance, 1869," would meet all requirements' and be more easily administered than section 23 of our present Act, which deals with the possession of infected sheep. The introduction of either of the above sections, together with the excision of the word "negligently," in section 45, "Sheep Act, 1878," would meet all requirements. I may state that I had some years' experience of the working of the sections in the Otago Act referred to: no great difficulty was found in carrying out its provisions, and its efficiency was shown by the results obtained. Other alterations of a minor nature are, I think, advisable. With these I purpose dealing in a special paper, submitting proposed amendments. It will be seen by returns that the frozen-meat trade has made rapid progress during the past year. This has provided an outlet for all surplus stock. It may now be looked upon as a special' industry, that, under ordinary conditions, must increase annually, as well as give a great impetus to the sale of store sheep. Stock of this description, hitherto almost unsaleable, has been in good demand, and early in the season realized such prices as have not been obtained for years An increasing demand for good cross-bred stock is firmly established, this class beino- admitted to be the best description for freezing purposes. It is a noticeable fact that, of the totaf increase shown on return, out of 898,233 nearly 690,000 are classed as cross-breds. Beviewing last year's operations, I may remark that, although the severe spring and summer militated against the eradication of scab and prolonged the shearing (light clips predominating) yet it had the effect, principally in the South, of causing one of the best seasons known for pasture for some years, the lambing being good and the sheep in excellent order on runs where quite the reverse was the case for some years past. Both the increase and the improved condition of the flocks in Otago must in a certain measure be attributed to the constant destruction of rabbits during the year 1883, which, in reality, was the first year in which anything like vigorous or combined action was adopted. On reference to the attached table, showing the number of sheep in each county in Otago and comparing the number for 1883 against the previous year, the increase or decrease of sheep shows at once where the rabbit pest was most, felt, or, as a rule, where its destruction had been greatest This is specially observable in the Counties of Wallace and Lake. In the former, the plague had been overtaken; in the latter in 1883 the pest was at its worst. ° Whilst dealing with the Lakes, I may refer to the "kea" question. Not only had the sheepowners in the mountainous portion of that county to contend with the rabbits, but the destruction of sheep by keas was something almost incredible, a loss of as high as 20 per cent, being, in one or two cases, attributed to this cause on runs far back and at high altitude : in fact, some 'country has lately been abandoned through their ravages. Their propensities for sheep destruction seem tobe increasing, and lately I have been informed that they are developing the same carnivorous habits in Canterbury, sheep having been destroyed by these birds on country at the head of the Eangitata. Some forty or fifty of them have been killed, and lam informed that it is the first year of their appearance in that locality. The subsidy granted by Government to amount raised by the Lake County had a good effect, about one thousand five hundred beaks having been paid for ; and I would strongly recommend that a further sum be placed on the estimates this year as "The Kea Destruction Fund." In conclusion, I may report generally that the flocks throughout the colony are healthy; lung-worm is prevalent m a few places, but to no greater extent than in former years; and that the revenue of this department for the past year has been increased by nearly £1,000. I have, &c, Benjamin P. Bayly, The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington. Superintending Inspector.
