DAIRY FARM CO. DISCOVERY OF A NEW JAZZ OR MELODY?

(Continued from Page 1)

Alarmist rumours regarding the health of the cattle at the farm having reached the cars of the Directors, a disclaimer was at once made in the local Press, and; from what I have just told you, you can rest assured that we have had no rinderpest nt the farm. Native dairies, however, have not been so fortunate, and over 100 deaths from this diseases have boon reported. This has natural- ly created a sudden increased de mand for milk, unfortunately at a time when our supplies are at their lowost; and we were, there- fore, reluctantly compelled tem- porarily to reduce the quantity of cream supplied to our customers, which, I regret, enused some in- convenience to our regular cilents.

Pig Herd-The herd of pigs has been Increased by over 120 per cent. during the year and accom- modation is being made for a fur- ther increase. Much improved re- sults are being obtained due to a change in the method of handling the breeding stock. During the year four boars were imported from England-one large white and three middle white.

Poultry

A start has been made towards the establishment of a sufficient stock of an egg producing strain of poultry, pure breeds having been imported from Canada. In- cubators have been used with suc- cess and a considerable increase in numbers is anticipated, and a demand for the eggs is assured.

In conclusion, I would like to ex- tend an invitation to any of our shareholders or customers who would like to visit the farm and see our livestock and the method of handling milk, etc., aud 1 can'as- sure them of a hearty welcome from our Manager, Mr. Stevenson, and bis assistants.

I now beg to propose that the reports and accounts as presented be adopted and passed. When this
