—— _ . / REPORT ON AUCKLAND LUNATIC-ASYLUM FARM. Sir, — Auckland, 15th February, 1881. I have the honor to forward you the accompanying balance-sheet of the asylum farm for the year 1880. At the beginning of the year, when the farm was taken over, only five cows were purchased. These were found totally inadequate, either to supply the asylum with milk or consume the amount of feed on the farm, to utilize which graziers were taken on, but did not pay nearly so well as milk-cows would have done. During the month of October ten more cows were got, and "from that time all the male department has been supplied with milk, and a sufficient quantity produced to supply also the females ; but, as the latter were in Auckland, it was found more profitable to make butter with this than send it so far. The produce, therefore, of the stock shown in the balance-sheet is not by any means an indication of what fifteen cows will produce in a year ; neither does the amount of potatoes credited represent the produce of over £41 worth of seed, and £36 worth of bone-manure, because no account has been taken of crops still growing.
