Summary. 



IMPROVEMENTS. 



The improvements consist, chiefly, of planting avenues of trees on the cross roads 

 of the farm and in repairing dams or water reservoirs where washed out by the great 

 rains of June last. Not only was the damage considerable, in so far as the amount of 

 labour required to repair them was concerned, but from the loss of water, as from this 

 source all the water supply for stock is obtained.
