Political. lewburos, social gatherings and fencing, which were all the fashion during the winter months, have gone out of vorua, their place boing taken by vocal and instrumental consorts.

Tho Koke cattle are worth 10 yen s'head on an average, while those from Oshim rarely-bring more than 5 yen; it is not improbable that judicious interbreading between Kobe and imported cattle would be attended with very favourable suite.
