If the people weie only amart enough they might devise means for sending their stock over the railways for nothing. A settler at Tamahere had (writes the Waikato cor respondent of a contemporary) a small flock of crossbred ewes, which lambing a month or two earlier than usual, gave him some fine lambs for the Auckland market early in the season, tor which he realised some 16s per head. Sending them in small parcels and not a truck load at a time, he found the freight by rail took too large a share of the profits, and then concluded, to put them, sending perhaps a dozen or more at a time only, in boxes the same as turkeys and other poultry are forwarded. This cost him 2s per head. Not, however satisfied with this reduction, he procured a copy of the railway tariff charges, and hit upon the expedient, under one of the : tables, of sending them in sacks. Accord ingly some, sacks, not of the very best quality, were procured, a hole in the bot tom of each cut for the lamb's head to go through, and carefully tied round its neck so that the aninal should be sure of free respiration, and they were sent by rail to Auckland, the freight under such condi tions being only 2Cs per score. Nor was this all (our friend appeals to have been born north of the Tweed); the sacks w*>re sent back aa empties at a merely nominal charge. . Countess 2s, Duchess 2s 4d, Princess 8d» Empress 3s.
