THE PASTORALISTS’ REVIEW  

JOURNAL AND RECORD  

Of all matters affecting the Pastoral and Agricultural Interests throughout Australasia.  

No. 2.  

APRIL 15, 1907.  

Yol. XVII.  

PASTORALISTS’ EXCHANGE ROOMS  

are provided at both our Melbourne and Sydney offices. Here  

Stockotvners will find every convenience for reading, writing  

letters, and meeting their friends. Intercolonial and foreign  

papers are filed. Books and Acts of Parliament relating to  

pastoral matters are available, and information of all kinds will  

be furnished on application.  

OUR LONDON OFFICE.  

Viators to London may icyister th ir nam>-s at our London Office  

upon arrival in that city, and have their correspondence addressed  

there. the London Office is in charge of Mr. J. Critchell, at 35  

Queen Victoria Street, E.C.  

NEW ZEALAND OFFICE  

Siibscribers and Advertisers in New Zealand who have items of  

news to communicate should send them to The Pastoralists’  

Review, care of Mr, F. H. Lahatt, 165 Hereford St., Christchurch.  

EDITORIAL NOTES  

Some very important articles appear in this issue, articles  

which should be studied by every pastoralist in Australia  

Contents.  

and New Zealand. The first, on Return  

to Reason, shows that matters pol ti  

cal are improving, thanks to those in  

the past who have not been afraid of “hitting out.”  

Breeding Constitutions into Sheep, by our special corres  

pondent, Mr. S. B. Hollings. The Growth of Australian  

Wool Sales, Horsebreeding, the Live Stock of Queensland,  

Artificial Grasses, and Dr. Danysz’s Experiments are all  

written by experts, and are highly important. The Sydney  

Royal Show is described and illustrated. The description of  

this is practical, and not fulsome as most descriptions of  

shows are. The Mudgee and South-west district is de  

scribed and illustrated, and report on the Bombay Horse  

Show (illustrated) should be of interest to horsebreeders  

an shippers. Three Queenslanders and one South Aus  

tralian appear in our picture gallery of Pastoral Celebri  

ties. Numerous Letters to the Editor on important sub  

jects keep that department up to date. In the Literary  

Supplement will he found Our Editor’s Holiday, being  

account of his trip to Egypt; Kanakas, one of “Jimmy  

the Ringer’s” swinging rhymes on matters of current  

moment, and Sporting Notes, by “ Fife and Drum,”  

whose writings are read with interest throughout the  

sporting world. In the Stud Stock Department some im  

portant articles appear —Sheep Classing (illustrated), by G.  

L. Culliford Word for the Crossbred, Definition  

of Typical New Zealand Romney Ram, and New  

Zealand Ram Breeding for Export, all by expert  

writers. report of all stud sales and property  

sales which have taken place in Australia and New  

Zealand during the past month, the Federated Pas  

toralists’ Union’s replies to the A.W.U. plaints, descrip  

tion of the Royal Sydney Show exhibits, and thirty-six  

illustrated pages of the leading sheep and cattle studs in  

Australia and New Zealand make up paper which would  

be almost impossible to beat anywhere in the world.

Almost throughout Australia and New Zealand the sea  

son continues good. Some parts want rain for watering

purposes, some to enable farmers to  

commence ploughing, and some have had  

too much. All in all. however, there is  

not very much to complain of. Feed is  

plentiful, though it may be dry. Queensland has had  

good but patchy rains in the north and central, some pro  

perties having been soaked, others getting; sprinkle. The  

Darling Downs and coast have had too much —in the case  

of the latter bringing the' tick scourge very prominently to  

the fore, and in the former turning large tracts of country  

into regular marsh. New South Wales has had good ra ns  

in parts, but wants more over large area of the west and  

Riverina. In some parts of the south stock are being

week’s warmth is badly wanted before the winter sets in.  

In the other States, Tasmania, and New Zealand, the  

weather is perfect. In the back country of South Australia,  

however, they can do with good soaking. Prices remain  

good for all lines, and everything promises continued and  

increasing prosperity.

filed their plaints, and are now await  

ing the decision of Mr. Justice O’Connor  

as to when the court will be held. The  

pastoralists recently requested the conn  

cil of the Australian Workers’ Union to assist them in hav  

ing the matter brought forward early, hut for some reason  

unexplained that body refused. In the issue of the  

"Worker” (the official organ of the A.W.U.) of 14th March,  

under heading of “ Policy for 1907,” and signed by the  

president, appears these words: —“We sincerely hope that
