Stud Cattle For Tahiti
From Our Own Correspondent.
Papeete, Nov. 1.
Monsieur Bariac, Government veterin ary surgeon at Papeete, returned from Australia on the Maunganui in October, bringing with him several stud animals for the Government farm at Mamao, where their services will be available to stock-owners.
The new acquisitions, which were pur chased in Australia and New Zealand, include 1 Clydesdale stallion, 1 riding stallion, 2 Berkshire boars, 1 Hereford bull, 1 Friesian bull, and a stud ram. All these animals, including some Plymouth Rock fowls and a number of turkeys bought for private owners, arrived with out mishap and will no doubt prove of benefit to the Colony.
M. Bariac, as part of his mission, was also charged with the delivery of a col lection of plants, indigenous to French Oceania, to the Horticultural Exhibition at Melbourne.
