ENTRY OF STUD STOCK INTO THE UNITED STATES.
Information has been received that Astoria, at the mouth of the Columbia River, Oregon, has been declared an additional port of . entry .for foreign live-stock. Importers, . however, will have to provide suitable quarantine accommodation for any stock landed there. It is considered that this new facility will be of decided advantage to the import business in sheep from New. Zealand. Breeders in the Oregon and Washington sheep-raising districts have long objected to their purchases being landed at San Francisco or Vancouver, owing to the knocking-about the animals are liable to on the subsequent railway journey. It is stated that a valuable Romney ram from Southland had two legs broken on the railway journey between San Francisco and southern Oregon. ' ■
