Fix this textEKITORIAL NOTES
Fix this textThis issue is of special interest, on account of the
Fix this textvariety and importance of the subjects dealt with. The
Fix this textContents.
Fix this textreports from all the Australian States,
Fix this textNew Zealand, Canada, Argentina, and
Fix this textGreat Britain give a concise idea of the
Fix this textpastoral situation and prospects in each place, and the edi-
Fix this texttorial notes treat of matters at present uppermost in the
Fix this textpastoral world. The illustrations comprise the most
Fix this textnotable live stock at the Royal Show, England, also the
Fix this textprize-winners at the recent Melbourne and Brisbane Shows,
Fix this textfull reports of which are given. A.W.P. continues his
Fix this textnotes ‘On the Wallaby” in England, describing his visit
Fix this textto the Royal Show, and to the Bradford Woollen Mills, with
Fix this textMr. S. B. Hollings. The special articles deal with im-
Fix this textportant subjects. “ Arbitration and the Producers re-
Fix this textviews the attempt of farm labourers in New Zealand to
Fix this textobtain an award regulating wages and hours for farm and
Fix this textstation hands. “Gambling for Land” reveals the very un-
Fix this textsatisfactory position in New South Wales in regard to the
Fix this textleasing of Crown Lands. “ The Practical Aspect of Wheat-
Fix this textgrowing,” “ Inbreeding,” and “ The English Hackney”
Fix this textwill appeal to a large proportion of our readers, and pro-
Fix this textbably invite discussion. Mr. S. B. Hollings has an article
Fix this text“Are Tasmanian Wools Deteriorating?” There are nume-
Fix this textrous Letters to the Editor, dealing with Tick Fever, The
Fix this textPacking of Wool, Wet Wool Tests, Pastoral Requirements
Fix this textand Chilled Meat, Immigration Under Contract, Stud
Fix this textStock, Ac. In the Literary Supplement “ Fife and Drum”
Fix this textcontinues his interesting account of rambles through
Fix this textthoroughbred aristocracy in the old country, this month
Fix this textdescribing his visit to Newmarket. The Wool Department
Fix this textcontains an article by Mr. Hollings on “ Foreign Matter in
Fix this textWool.” The dairy information is quite up to date, and
Fix this textthe Frozen Meat and Stud Stock Departments, as usual,
Fix this textmake up a very large portion of the “ Review.”

Fix this textThe season, as far as Australia and New Zealand are
Fix this textconcerned, has even further improved since our last issue.
Fix this textThe Season and
Fix this textProspects.
Fix this textBeneficial rains have fallen in Queens-
Fix this textland, Riverina, Victoria, and South Aus-
Fix this texttralia, improving the outlook consider-
Fix this textably. The Darling Downs, however,
Fix this textare experiencing a seriously dry season, and stock are
Fix this texthaving a bad time. Hand-feeding of stock is still being
Fix this textcarried on in some parts of Victoria, and Western Austra-
Fix this textlia and Tasmania are badly wanting rain. South Aus-
Fix this texttralia is having a splendid season, and the improved pros-
Fix this textpects in the Riverina, and the rain that has fallen over
Fix this textthe wheat areas, puts a far more hopeful outlook on New
Fix this textSouth Wales affairs. In New' Zealand the indications of a
Fix this textwarm spring are particularly grateful after the severe win-
Fix this textter experienced in the Dominion, and the production of
Fix this textwool, meat, and butter promises to be well maintained.

Fix this textIn our last issue we published some remarks by Mr. R.
Fix this textO. Blackwood, referring to the declining interest in sheep
Fix this textReform of Sheep
Fix this textShows.
Fix this textshow's. He is absolutely right in stating
Fix this textthat sheep shows are languishing in all
Fix this textdirections, and he hits the right nail
Fix this texton the head by declaring that the varie-
Fix this textties in types of Merino sheep largely account for so many
Fix this textbreeders not showing. The types are so various that the
Fix this textjudges are called upon to make impossible* comparisons,
Fix this textand in the end it is only natural that they should be swayed
Fix this textby their individual experiences with certain types. But
Fix this textthe point of Mr. Blackwood’s article demanding special at-
Fix this texttention is his original suggestion for reform, which is to
Fix this texthave non-competitive exhibitions of sheep. He says:
Fix this textIf non-competitive exhibitions of sheep were established in the
Fix this textplace of showing - as we at present understand it, it is more than
Fix this textprobable that the system would prove highly successful. To give
Fix this textsuch exhibitions a start, it would be necessary to obtain promises
Fix this textfrom a number of the leading breeders to send in sheep in the
Fix this textdifferent classes. Such promises should not be difficult to obtain,
Fix this textIt's easy and takes two shakes of a lamb's tail!
