The Pastoral Industry m Ashburton.

TUB LAND liOOAr. j The time was when bub few sheep were pastured on those plains of ours. The time 18 not referred to when the plains fed sheep only— that was m the days of prehistoric Ashburton, when tho "yellow haired tus sock" was the only vegetation, except " lawyers " and " wild Irishman " lhat gave color to the landscape. The time more partioulaiJy referred to was after the closer settlement that now obtains had just begun : when the land craze of 1878-9 had set m. When that emza was at fever height men rushed the laud market Buffering .from an earth hunger that ie seemed impossible to satisfy. Thousands upon thousands of acres of land were alienated from the Crown, and inauy thousands already m private hands changed owners. Y'vom that unhealthy boom the district has hardly yer, suffered complete n-covery. In 100 many cast* prices were paid tor the land m its prairie. Mialo. that

would hardly be realised to-day for it with all the improvements of twenty-years' labor and expenditure thrown iv. THE KK-AOTIOV And when tho buyers came to settle on their new holdings they soon found out that they had been m haste to buy. That is, many of them did so, for it would be absurd, and an insult to a host of our oldest, and most sub stantial and successful farmers to any that

they bought either Imott'y or unwisely. Hut there were unfortunately too many on ihe pains whorlHhoi Ji--as lite bankruptcy noi m s ' m our Gleß for ninny years buck will prove — and the farms they bought are I hied by othc: hands and have other owners. The boom, however, peopled t lio land, and set men to work road ing the district, and breaking up the virgin soil. "Crop" was the word for years. There were two rrimm for this. The wheat market yielded remunerative prices tlien, uuil so long as the land yielded a fair harvest something could be made out ot wheat even on the light land. Rut the other reason wns that there wns no water for stock. Oe'wccn the two rivers that

bound the couuly there flowed only the Hinds and the Ashburton— not another stream was anywhere to be found wimpling its way to the sea. TJI.K IRRTCATION SCHEME Under these ctiGUtjistancm the feeding of sheep m any number was out of the ques tion, and only became possible whan thp County Council carried ouk iis magnificent scheme of irrigation by which the rivers were terjui.ii tinned to supply a network of w Ufic raac-.s to provide diink for mm and

beast. Ai tiist those races weic oomparu bively few, but ever since iho first one flowed Ihe Council has not hclil a single meeting at which the malc'ng of a few more miles has not. been sanctioned, so that to day \hi-re i 9 not. a fxini m the whole county on wlv'ch st(ck ciunot be gruz.'d on • ccounl ot want of water. TflE KIKST STOCK SALES. Before those races flowed the demands of the county for saleynrd accommodation were easily supplied. Mr Bullock held sales m ! the paddock between the Ashburton Hotel and Mr Charles Reid's smithy, and was able to do all l he stock auctioneering that was required. THE COUNTY SALKVARDS COMPANY. Byand bya little syndicate started yards at Tinwald, aad m lime we had a saleyards company coming into existence who firtt lease. l the Ashburlon County Cittle Market )Gserve lrom (he County Council, and ao quired land for yards on \ he Tinwald side ol ' *.ho river, 'i'he water races made sheep rear ing possible, and the frozen meat trade made il; profitable, and enabled ife to become the r

greit. and important iudu-tiy it now is on the Ashburtou plaius. How important the industry is requires but a visit to either yards on a sale day to learn. THE ASHJIURTON SATjEYAKDS, the C-ittle Market reserve, cover fjrty-eight i acre, and afford penning for 20,000 sheep, ' while a rotunda occupies a place m the Riislcrn corner devoted to the sale of horses and ait tie. From Mr Albert Roberts, the »•

•""»■ crctas'y to iho Sal< -yards Company we Irtmi lh.it m a year nearly 200,00) theep will go under tho hammer at the Ashburton yardp, and about the same it Tinwnl 1. The Ashluirton y.irda are well sheltered now by a l>elt of handsome trees that enciic'es it, md defies the blast of the most howling norWsier, and takes off much of the keen edge of it.c winds from the sea. A hand some suite of cflices has been built near the oatt-takei'* cottage for the convenience of buyers, sellers, and agents, nnd refreshment rooms of quite imposing appeiwance and per fe.ci comfort adjoin. As the Prohibitionists carried the last licensing election m this I district, Iho good lady who presides over

those rooms has to shake her head ominously when a thirsty soul wculd quenqh that thirst with anything more ardent than the brew of Brooke, or the cup Cowper sang of which cheers but not inebriates. At that election Tinwald was m another electorate, and there the result was different, so that there ' something more potent than the mild drinks above mentioned may be obtained. Bub the | electorates have been recast for the coming general election, and if the teetotallers win once more, the chances are that the key will be turned ab Tinwnld also. A large shed stands near by, which is used as a sliering shed m the shearing seasoD, but on the annual show day'of^the and Pastoral Association, wfio make the Ash burfon yards their show ground, it becomes iho produce shed of the show, and m it are displayed all exhibits that require to be s-hown under caver. The yards arc about a mile north of Ashburton borough on the' Great South Koad. THE TINWALD SALISYAHDS were established to accommodatejthe many farmers on the south sido of the river, and are situated some distance southward of the township of Tinwalfl, also on the Great South Koad. Those yards cover twelve acrep ? but the Company has the use of more than that if wanted. They can pen 16,000 sheep 76 oatlle, and 200 pigs, and annually them are put through them about the same number of stock as on the Ashburtcn side. The Tinwald yards are also well supplied wilh buildings for office accommodation and for the building up of the inner man, and Mrs Keller, who cares for the creature com forts of the habitues of the ABhburlon yards is also the presiding genius here. To show the business done at the yards, and again quotiug Mr Roberts' figures, it may be stated that from October 1, 1895 to September 20. i

1896,372, 164 sheep were yarded at the two yards, 1050 rams, 2097 cattle, end 1789 pigs. For ilie year ending September 30, 1891 the figures were : — Sheep 300,550, rams 226, cattle 1714, pigs 1401, so that the sheep irade at leaU *hows a very maiked increase, while the increase m the other stock is also he ilthy. (To be continued.)

Our illustrations are Felected from a few that were placed at our disposal by local amateur photographers, aud farmers and oihers who frequent the yards will have no ilifficuliy m recognising the more prominent figures shown. One of them, however, is from a photograph of as many of a flock of nearly three thousand sheep as the camera wouM include. They were photographed hy Mr Henry Zander as mentioned m our columns a few weeks ago.

HOKTIC V LT UK A Fj. At the instance of the Rev. Mr I'urolitiH, a public meeting wuh recently cdlled m the schoolroom for the pupos-e of taking into cocßideration the advisableness or otherwise of forming a Gardening Society. 'I hero was a fair attendance, and Mr Purchas, being the convener, presided, and explained the object of the meeting. After some dis cussion, it was decided to establish a f-ooiety to be known as the Mount Somers Horticul tural Society. A Committee of five, with power to add to their number, wab elected. A code of rules was drawn up and adopted, and it waa decided to hold exhibitions on the first Friday m each month, marks being given according to the merits of the respective exhibits, and prizes to be awarded at the end of the season to those obtaioing the highest aggregate number of marks. The first show was held on Friday last, when a very creditable display indeed was made. Although the snow and frost prevented some from exhibiting, there were some very fine blooms on exhibition. Tho artistic arrangement of the vacious entries reflected great credit on the exhibitors. Mr A. E. Peache, of Mount Somers, and Mr T. Harrison, of Hackthorn, acted as judges, and gave general satisfaction. A consider able amount of enthusiasm has been created m the Society, and no doubt good will result therefrom. It is to he hoped that m future tho Committee will see its way to keep the show open m the evening, as there are many who would be ablo to come m tho evening who could nob make it convenient to be present earlier m the day. TKMPERANCE LECTURE. Mr J. Knott, temperance lecturer and Innternist, gave an entertainment here last Thursday, when there was a very fair attendance. A number of excellent views <>i local scenery was shown by his poweiful oxy -ether light, and were greatly admired. Mr Knot theu recited '* Ten nights m a bar room " m his own inimitable style, and altogether a very pleasant eveniug was spent.
