THE ANNUAL SHEEP RETURNS FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31st MAY, 1886.

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, 4th May, 1887. I have the honour to lay before you the annual sheep returns for the year ending 31st May, 1886. The total number of sheep in the colony on that date was 15,174,263, as against 14,546,801 for the previous year, or an increase of 627,462 —viz., Auckland, 13,158; Napier, 174,662; Taranaki, 1,274; Wanganui, 1,127; Rangitikei, 83,285; Wellington, 87,148; Nelson, 10,975; Marborough, 12,968; Canterbury, 93,867 ; Otago, 148,998. The classification can be taken approximately as: Merino —males, 3,083,201; females, 3,851,379. Long-wool — males, 574,279; females, 1,010,731. Cross-bred — males, 2,420,590; females, 4,234,083. Total—Males, 6,078,070; females, 9,096,193: making a grand total of 15,174,263. The returns again this year show a very considerable increase in long-wools and cross-breds, whilst merinos have decreased nearly 300,000; the total increase in the North Island being 360,654, and in the Middle Island 266,808. I have to draw your attention to the large increase that has taken place in the export of frozen meat. During the year ended 31st March last, 706,967 carcases of mutton have been shipped, or an increase of 132,775 over the year 1885. Of these, Auckland furnished 19,913; Napier, 157,800 ; Wellington, 140,302 ; Canterbury, 235,631; and Otago, 153,321. The number of sheep boiled down amounted to 325,480, and the number used at preservingworks, 86,876. The increase in the number of sheep boiled down is very marked, being 256,266 more than last year. The imports consist of 1,680 sheep from the Australian Colonies, and the exports to 2,824 —viz., 19 to Australia, 110 to New Caledonia, and 2,695 to the South Sea Islands. The infected list for the year ended 31st March last shows three flocks still remaining with an aggregate of 10,909 sheep. Two of these flocks have since obtained clean certificates, leaving only the Okukari flock unclean, and it is now about to be mustered for final examination. Should it come in clean, as there is every reason to believe will be the case, all the flocks in the colony will be free from scab. It is just possible there may be a few wild infected sheep in the Kaikoura Subdivision which aye not yet been destroyed, and every effort is being made to completely exterminate them. Three outbreaks in small flocks occurred during the year : One in the Wairarapa, one in the Sounds, and one at Hopefield, in the Amuri. On a close investigation being made, the Wairarapa one was distinctly attributable to the fact that, in reality, the flock could never have been clean, although it had obtained a clean certificate a few months previously. It has since been subjected to such close supervision and careful treatment that not the slightest danger exists of re-infection. The one at Hopefield was of a more serious nature, especially as the flock had been shorn for two seasons without showing the disease. This outbreak was plainly traceable to bush stragglers on the rough portion of the country; and the evil intensified through the manager concealing the fact for several months, after being aware of its existence. Vigorous measures were adopted, and several convictions obtained for breaches of the Act. The sheep are now believed to be clean, with every probability that they will remain so. Fortunately the outbreak was confined to the one flock; the adjoining flocks have since been mustered for shearing and other purposes, but no further disease has been seen. The small flock in the Sounds, which was found to be diseased, has broken out twice, and on each occasion the infection was found in, and confined to, a few sheep that actually ran about the homestead; and no scab was found in the bulk of the flock, or the bush sheep, where it might have been expected. On this occasion continuous dipping was carried out for a longer time than usual so that all chance of becoming reinfected from latent causes might be removed. I—H. 15.

The Tophouse and Nelson country has stood the test of shearing and straggling muster without any scabby sheep being seen. The waste lands on Tophouse Block have been scoured again this year and found clean. D'Urville and Arapawa Islands have again been mustered, but no scab was found, although a few stragglers were killed on each place. In the Kaikoura Subdivision great energy has been used in the destruction of wild sheep, with the result that about 4,000 have been killed up to the end of March, or a total of 8,500 since the work was first initiated in 1885. In these a considerable percentage of scab existed, and even since the Ist January last three scabby wild sheep ha,ve been killed. The expenditure as shown has been very considerable, and must be continued up till the end of this month. Subsequent to that date, and until after next shearing, one gang of men will be retained to rescour the whole block, by which time it is hoped that the utter extermination of wild sheep will have been effected, and this menace to adjoining flocks removed. From the extraordinary number of wild sheep and stragglers that were killed it can easily be understood what little chance existed of cleaning the neighbouring flocks had not this work been undertaken and carried out, and it must be continued until this area is thoroughly safe. Three thousand two hundred and sixty wild sheep were killed during the season, for which the sum of £3,627 Us. Bd. was paid in wages and scalp-money at Is. per head on number killed. No flocks have been destroyed during the past twelve months, nor has any expenditure been incurred for compensation. I may mention that, since last year's report was furnished, the Clarence Bun, there alluded to as having been seized by the department, has been cleaned and returned to the owners, and all expenses incurred in cleaning it have been refunded. The adjoining run of Waipapa, on which all sheep were destroyed in 1885-86, has been restocked during this year. The sheep are within fences, and, as they adjoin the lands that have been one of the principal fastnesses for wild sheep and stragglers, I look upon the restocking of this run as a test case which will prove that the country is safe for the future, or the reverse. Every precaution having been taken, the fences put into thorough repair, the country well scoured prior to restocking, and the present owners are working cordially with the department to prevent, if possible, any further chance of reinfection. With a view of promptly dealing with scab in the future should occasion require it, an amendment to the present Act is proposed, by which all infected sheep can be destroyed on compensation at half their value; and it further provides that all infected Crown land runs can, where necessary, have the licenses cancelled without compensation. The word " negligently " in section 45 is also omitted from-the proposed amendment to the Act; this renders it imperative that owners should keep infected sheep from straying. It is further proposed, as soon as the colony is clean, to amend the sections referring to shipped sheep within the colony from clean district to clean district, or within districts. The country should now be sufficiently free from disease to render a great deal of the present legal inspection unnecessary without running any risk. Other slight alterations are being carried out with a view to meet the altered aspect in the status of the officers who replace those dispensed with consequent upon retrenchment. The ravages of the kea have not been complained of this year as much as in some former seasons. The bonus given, for their destruction by the County Councils, supplemented by the Government, has caused considerable reduction in their numbers, and, if increased sufficiently, would terminate this pest. It is also evident that although the rabbit pest is spreading over a large area, and is- taxing the sheep industry to a ruinous extent, yet, withal, the number of sheep is annually increasing, nor can any great decrease be observed in any one rabbit district. This, I submit, shows that the repressive measures employed are keeping the pest well in check, and a decided increase in the number of sheep is shown on some runs which a few years back could be classed as essentially rabbitty. Generally speaking, .throughout the colony a more than ordinary clip was experienced, with one of the best lambings known for years, and flocks unusually healthy. In Otago an exceptionally good season for autumn feed has prevailed. I may conclude by stating that the colony is this year more free from scab than it has ever been; in fact, no actual scab is known to exist, and I shall be greatly disappointed if lam not able to report before the close of this month that the last infected flock has obtained its clean certificate; and that the Australian ports will bo open to our sheep before long without present restrictions, which amount to prohibition. I have, &c, Benjamin P. Bayly, The Hon. the Colonial Secretary, Wellington. Superintending Inspector.

Postscript.—Since writing the above, the last infected flock (Okukari) has obtained a clean certificate. All flocks within the colony arc now clean, and all hold clean certificates. Benjamin P, Bayly, 16th May, 1887. Superintending Inspector.
