1886. NEW ZEALAND.

THE ANNUAL SHEEP RETURNS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MAY, 1885.

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

Mr. B. P. Bayly to the Hon. the Colonial Secretary. Sir, — Colonial Secretary's Office (Stock Branch), Wellington, 14th May, 1886. I have the honour to lay before you the annual sheep returns for the year ending the 31st May, 1885. The total number of sheep in the colony on that date was 14,546,801, as against 13,978,520, or an increase of 568,281, on return of the previous year. In the several districts the increase or decrease during the year has been as follows : Auckland, increase, 30,465 ; Napier, increase, 64,496 ; Taranaki, decrease, 3,712 ; Wanganui, increase, 10,970; Bangitikei, increase, 7,626; Wellington, increase, 43,837 ; Nelson, increase, 25; Marlborough, decrease, 14,179; Canterbury, increase, 331,213; Otago, increase, 97,540. Although the effects of the rabbit-pest have been severely felt during the past season, yet returns show in Otago an increase of 97,540 sheep for the year. It will be also seen that the Counties of Southland and Wallace, originally the hotbed of the plague, and where it originated, again this year, show a considerable increase. The Lake County shows again a decrease, although not so large as in former years, and is in a great measure attributable to the present low price of wool, with rabbits as well as keas to contend against. The infected list for the year ending the 31st March shows 13 owners with an aggregate of 139,000 sheep, as against? 16 owners and 112,000 sheep for last year; one cause of this increase was alluded to in my last year's return. Subsequent again to that, at shearing-time, the Kekerangu flock, numbering 50,000, were found to be infected through scabby sheep having crossed the Clarence Eiver. With these exceptions no other outbreak has taken place, and the cause of these reinfections having been removed (destruction of wild and stray sheep), that these flocks are either now or very soon will be clean is an assured fact. It is with satisfaction I am able to report that the North Island is *■ tw thoroughly free from disease, and the several flocks having stood the test of a shearing-muster, together with a systematic and close inspection, the fact of this portion of the colony being clean may be considered thoroughly established. The whole of the Picton Subdivision is also on the clean list, nor is any further outbreak likely to occur again in that country. Nelson shows this year four owners on the infected list, with 9,000 sheep, as against nil last year. The outbreak was referred to in last report as at Tophouse, and the infection traced to three adjoining flocks. These sheep have hitherto been unfenced, and had free access to the back rough country. A different state of affairs is now established. All these flocks are within fences, with the exception of 2,000 at Tophouse, which are being shepherded. The adjacent country has been thoroughly scoured, and wild sheep and stragglers destroyed. In accordance with the vote passed last session for the destruction of wild sheep, this work has been vigorously prosecuted during last season, and with good results. The whole of the waste lands of the Crown, together with unstocked country at Kaikoura, has been dealt with. D'Urville and Arapawa Islands, as well as the whole country between Queen Charlotte Sound to Tophouse, and -other waste lands in Nelson, have been explored and scoured for wild sheep and stragglers. At Kaikoura compensation at the rate of 2s. 6d. per head has been allowed for the destruction of the Kincaid flock, numbering 5,429, another flock (Waipapa) of 4,000 were destroyed by the owner, 4,200 wild sheep and stragglers killed, and two gangs of musterers are still out rescouring the country. From the number of wild sheep and stragglers destroyed here, of which many were diseased, it will readily be seen that, had not this work been done, any possibility of the adjacent country ever being cl°an became very remote.

In the Sounds the whole of the sheep not within fences in D'Urville Island were destroyed, and 2s. 6d. per head allowed, and the island since scoured for stragglers. On Arapawa Island two small flocks were destroyed on the same terms, and those retained kept within secure fences and cleaned. Simultaneous with this destruction of scabby flocks the whole of the waste lands from Queen Charlotte Sound to Tophouse were scoured, and, although a few stray and wild sheep were m c with and killed, not a single case of scab was seen until the Tophouse country was dealt with. Here a few stragglers from the adjacent flocks were found and killed; these were scabby, but in this country not a single real wild sheep was found infected. Every inducement was offered to the scouring parties to find scab if possible, but, with the one exception, none was discovered ; here, the adjoining flocks being infected, this was anticipated. This thorough examination of the rough country should for ever settle the bugbear of wild scabby sheep, which for so long has been assimulated with this portion of the Maryborough and Nelson Districts, and which, it has bean asserted, there was no possibility of dealing with, and from which, it was also stated, adjoining flocks would be continuously reinfected. The number of sheep destroyed and compensated for at 2s. 6d. per head, together with expenses incurred up to the 31st March in scouring the country, amounts to and is distributed as under :— £ s. d. At Kaikoura, 5,429 sheep ... ... ... ... ... 678 12 6 Bonus on 4,200 wild sheep, at Is. per head ... ... ... 210 0 0 Wages for scouring country... ... ... ... ... 916 0 0 £1,804 12 6 In Picton Subdivision, 687 sheep ... ... ... ... 85 17 6 Arapawa Island, 1,004 sheep ... ... ... ... 125 10 0 Wages for scouring country... ... ... ... ... 432 15 0 Bonus on 848 wild sheep, at Is. per head ... ... ... 42 8 0 £686 10 6 —or a grand total of £2,491 3s. expended during the year in the destruction of wild and scabby sheep. I may add that a good many more sheep were killed by scouring parties than are accounted for here. A large portion of the ground was scoured by contract and no bonus given for sheep killed ; of these no account was kept. An unusual case—in fact, the first of the kind that the department has required to deal with— occurred during the past year. The Clarence Eun, with an infected flock, was abandoned by the owner, consequently the department had to step in, under section 33 of " The Sheep Act, 1878," and take possession, and this under rather difficult circumstances, as all hands had been paid off, and all necessary plant for working the run, such as pack-horses, rations, &c, removed, and at a time of year when any delay meant a stoppage of work for the season. No time in this case was lost, and all necessary steps have since been taken to ensure the flock being cleaned. It is only fair to say that when possession was taken but comparatively little scab was found in the flock, which has since been twice dipped, and was at last muster, I am informed, without any actual disease being apparent. This flock having been reduced to little more than half the original number, and being within fences, should come in clean in the spring. Should such be the case, it will either require to be handed back to the owner, or sold to repay the expenses incurred since it was taken possession of. A course of action with a view to definitely settle the scab-question having been determined and acted upon during the past season, I have no suggestions to offer this year on this question ; nor do I see what further can be done. Those flocks deemed impossible to clean have been destroyed, and, the remainder being now within fences, after another scouring of doubtful country next season, scab should be at an end in this colony. On previous occasions I stated the necessity of amending portions of the Sheep Act, especially section 26. This weak point in the Act has this year been taken advantage of, and an owner who had been precluded from breeding has brought clean sheep on to his infected country; and should they become diseased and stray —the distance from which they were brought not being above thirty miles in a direct line from where they now are —the results might be that not only would they infect other flocks, but the whole of that portion of the country that had already and not long since been scoured would require fresh expenditure. Last year I drew the attention of the Government to the kea-question; and from personal inquiry this year, together with information derived from other sources, I am distinctly of opinion that a special subsidy should be allowed for the destruction of these birds. They are making their appearance in localities where previously they were unknown, and in some places are committing ravages that seem almost incredible. I heard of one instance of over two hundred sheep being destroyed in one lot. I would recommend that a sum of £500 be specially appropriated for their destruction. This might be expended in a bonus of 2s. per beak, and would represent five thousand birds. The sheepowners are only too willing to subscribe as well; and by offering a strong inducement a wholesale destruction of this pest should ensue. The kea being of nocturnal habits, and its habitat being in the high and mountainous country, mostly on waste lands of the Crown, its destruction is no easy matter, and, being attended with a certain amount of risk, is one that men will not undertake unless they can earn good wages. Eeviewing the work done during last season, although the 31st March shows a nominal increase of the infected flocks, yet the country has never been as free from scab as at present, or as

H.—B

likely to keep so. Since March the Kekerangu flock has passed inspections satisfactorily, and a clean certificate granted. The sheep that appear on the infected list in the Grey and Buller Subdivision are now returned clean : in fact, all the flocks on the infected return are simply awaiting the necessary three months from the last dipping to elapse prior to their final examination. No actually scabby sheep have been seen in them for some time ; and it is confidently hoped that at the spring muster no infected flock will be returned. A final muster of the country upon which scabby sheep and stragglers have been killed should give finality to the scab-question. The North Island being now clean, I am of opinion that existing regulations having reference to sheep shipped and landed for butchers' use might be modified without risk of further infection in consequence. The west coast of the Middle Island is almost wholly dependent upon Wanganui for its supplies of fat stock, which are shipped to the different West Coast ports. Occasionally a month's supply will arrive in different vessels within a few days of each other, and all not slaughtered within ten days must of a necessity be dipped, causing loss of condition and depreciation in value of the stock. The steamers carrying these sheep trade as a rule only between Wanganui and the West Coast; and, as all sheep going from the North Island are clean, a special concession might with safety be granted here by extending the time prior to dipping. This would confer a great boon on the slaughtermen without any risk to other flocks. Owing to the increase of flocks in South Canterbury, together with reported danger from rabbit-pest, it has been deemed advisable to divide the Southern and Christchurch Subdivisions into three; the newly-formed subdivision to extend from the Eakaia Eiver to Opihi Eiver, and back to the dividing range. This new district will ensure a necessary and a better inspection of the flocks than has hitherto been possible, as well as guard against an increase of rabbits, which are reported as sparsely scattered throughout a great deal of this country. Last summer having been very dry and hot both lung-worm and foot-rot are reported to be less prevalent than in former seasons. More than the average lambing is reported, and good clips experienced. Statistical information will be furnished as soon as compiled. I have, &c, Benjamin P. Bayly, The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington. Superintending Inspector.
