  • 3 Sep 1887: THE EIRRUC ESTATE
    [BY OUR AGRICULTURAL REPORTER.]
    About 4 miles from the Berwick railway station and 30 miles from Melbourne is Eirruc, a pretty estate owned by Mr. R. Grice. The drive out from the picturesquely situated town-ship is a pleasant one, although the road, by the judicious expenditure of a little money might be considerably improved. This remark, however, applies to a great many roads in the Western Port district. The property consists of 1000 acres, and has been subdivided into 22 paddocks, the fencing being of a substantial character. Part of it, erected by a former proprietor, consists of two and three rails, while that put up by Mr. Grice is mostly six wires. Two prettily rounded hills, with an elevated ridge between running nearly north and south from a sort of backbone to the estate. On the western slope tho soil is rich, black, fairly friable in texture and well adapted for cultivation. At a depth of from 10 inches to 18 inches a tenacious clay is met with which holds the water to such an extent as to make the value of underground drainage very apparent. On the eastern slope of the ridge the soil is generally of a lighter and more sandy nature. A good deal, has been done in the way of surface draining towards carrying off the surplus water; but, notwithstanding the fact that the drains have been well laid out and made, the paddocks, at the time of my visit, were in a very wet condition. This district always receives a rainfall that would make the heart of a northern farmer rejoice, but this year the fall having been greater than usual, the soil has become so thoroughly saturated that a stroll through the fields is not by any means an unalloyed pleasure. One portion of the estate, about 120 acres in extent is covered with a dense growth of ti-tree, rendering it absolutely useless in its present state. Drains have been run through it, and the water does not lodge now as was formerly the case, but the problem of getting rid of the ti-tree has yet to be solved, Mr. Grice thinks of cutting it down, burning when it becomes sufficiently dry, and afterwards sowing grass seed in the hope that the grass will get a start before the scrub, and by heavy stocking the latter may be kept down for a few years. Unlike the hazel scrub of Gippsland which generally dies after a good burn, the ti-tree will sprout again as vigorously as ever, and is altogether a difficult subject to deal with. Patches of it have been cut and burned in the neighborhood, but the paddocks have quickly gone back to their original state. Mr. Grice's intention is to choose a suitable day, and burn the scrub against the wind; by this means he thinks that not only will all the portion cut be thoroughly consumed, but many of the roots also, and by thus opening it up, and getting stock onto the ground, the growth of the scrub may be checked. That it will come again however, appears almost certain, as it is a scrub very tenacious of life. At Koo-wee-rup swamp, a few miles away, various experiments have been tried to get rid of it, and it is found that in some cases, draining alone causes it to die, but the soil there for a depth of several feet is a vegetable mould on which draining has the effect of causing a consi-derable subsidence thus exposing the roots of the ti-tree and rending their extraction a comparatively easy matter. In Mr. Grice's case a strong clay subsoil prevents sinking and also helps to retain the moisture around the roots, so that much more difficulty is encountered in dealing with the scrub, and tho work of eradicating it is likely to be tedious and costly. Originally all the land hereabouts was covered with heavy timber, but the most of it has now been cleared off, and very little more remains than is necessary. Mr. Grice has done a good deal in the way of clearing the paddocks of dead timber, numerous cords of wood being now cut and stacked ready for carting to the railway station. The price obtained for thoewood is not great, but it leaves a slight margin of profit after paying for clearing. Cultivation is principally carried on for the purpose of working the soil into a fine tilth preparatory to laying it down under permanent pasture. In this way 240 acres has been ope-rated upon, and is now either under rye grass alone or a mixture of rye grass and cocksfoot. The intention is to lay down the whole of the farm under artificial grasses at the rate of 70 acres per year, 25 acres only being reserved for permanent cultivation. This portion will be heavily manured in order to insure good returns and keep up the fertility of the soil.

    A portion of the farm was sown with English grasses by a former proprietor and the grass has held well, but as the seeding in the first instance was light the pasture now requires thickening. It is found unnecessary to sow white clover, this plant always appear-ing amongst the other grasses. In pre-paring a seed bed Gilsenan's patent culti-vator has been used with good effect. In one paddock it was run over the ground previous to ploughing, the result being a splendid tilthe. The usual mode of dealing with the soil is to first plough to a depth of 5 inches, then harrow twice, and afterwards use a brush harrow, formed of a sheep hurdle, through which branches of ti-tree have been interwoven, for covering the seed. The seeding given is 40 lb. of rye grass, or when cocksfoot is used, 10 lb. of the latter and 30 lb. of rye grass per acre are sown. The paddocks laid down have been sown in the months of April and May. An interesting experiment has been tried with stack ensilage. An indifferent crop of 4 acres of maize was cut in March and simpl stacked. All the crop was cut on the one day but the stacking occupied about a week consequently the portion stacked last got rather more sun than is desirable in ensilage. After stacking a trench was dug around and the earth placed on the top of the steak. No more trouble was taken, the stack was even roofed, and nothing further was done until a couple of weeks ago, when Mr. Grice had the stack opened in order to see what it was like. It turned out in splendid condition, far better than was expected, the color not being so dark as is usually the case with sweet ensilage, the temperature having evidently remained below 140 degrees, a height which makers of this class of fodder consider quite safe. Mr. Grice never having examined the stack from the time it was made until recently opening it, is not in a position to say what the temperature really was. The silage is very sweet and not by any means disagreeable to the smell. Previous to the opening of the stack the cattle had never even seen fodder of this description, but on some of it being given to the milking cows they readily eat it and looked for more, no education being required to accustom them to it. The homestead has been lately erected on the summit of one of the hills alluded to. It is a large and commodious wooden building, which with its row of tall chimneys on either side and central tower, presents a picturesque appearance. It is surrounded by a tastefully laid out garden and orchard, amongst the fruit-trees being a number of oranges, which though planted more with a view to ornament than utility, nevertheless are likely to combine both. The house and grounds are well shel-tered by a number of large and shapely eucalyptus trees of the species known as peppermint, on which the foliage is dense enough to break the force of the winter winds and throw a grateful shade in summer. At present there is a newness about the house and grounds which detracts from its pic-turesqueness, but that is a fault which every day will help to remedy. A large lodge has been erected at the entrance gates, and an avenue partly formed, but the wet weather has put a stop to any further work being done in making the drive. The domestic water supply is provided for by an underground tank con-taining 33,000 gallons of water, which accord-ing as it is required is pumped by an Althouse windmill into a number of 400 gallon iron tanks on an elevated stand, from which it is laid on to the house and outbuildings, the heavy rainfall being always sufficient to pro- vide an adequate supply. The stable is a conveniently arranged building, containing four stalls and two loose boxes as well as a coach house and groom's room. It is 38 feet by 53 feet, built of wood and roofed with iron. The residence of the former proprietor occupies a pretty site on the crown of the other hill alluded to above, and is now occu- pied by the farm manager. The farm horses are also kept here, a large cowshed being con- verted into a stable ; an annexe has been added to this building for the purpose of keep- ing machinery and implements under cover. A large barn, close at hand, is partly filled with hay, and also contains a chaffcutter and corn- crusher, worked by a powerful horse works. A reaper and binder, with which the harvesting is done, is sheltered from the weather here. The stock consists principally of horses and a few cattle, a number of fine Clydesdale mares and some Shetland ponies being amongst them. The draught stock comprise some imported mares which have been secured at great ex- pense, and a colonial bred stallion, King Roderick, by Roderick Dhu from Blossom, by Cox's Prince of Wales. He is a 6-year-old horse, standing 16 hands 2 inches, with tho- roughly sound feet, a point of great value in any horse, and one not frequently found nowa- days in Clydesdales, owing in a measure to the practice of high feeding indulged in by many owners. He is a dapple brown horse, with a grand arm and shoulder, good quarters and splendid action. His stock are very promising, and are thought highly of by Mr. Grice. Amongst the mares is Blackball Maggie, a mare imported from Scotland by Mr. A. McWinnie. She is by Topsman, her ( B being Belle, by llautin' Bobin. She is a bca B tiful clear bay in color with large flat boiiOi H plenty of fine silky hair, and when moving s b shows excellent action. In Scotland she « B noted prize winner, having taken first prize B Dumbarton, first at Drymer, first at Johns o . , B open to all Scotland ; and second at the u g g land Society's Show, Glasgow.

A lomilo of mores by Big Gun show many of the £ ' .eristics of their sire, the most of whoso ! are of a high order of merit Another , (|ie Marquis of Lorue is noticeable for rrfleoraura. Mr. Grice has not had I- casualties with iris mares, though he finds To heavy draughts require more watching - ar0 much more susceptiblo to injury if llccted thou arc lighter mares. Tho groat aT'toiard when they are in foal is to see that Lrdo not get too fat. Keeping them in air but not high condition, and giving them , tv of generous food after foaling, he finds - the' bMt rrav of managing them. Of course it !! in.iltnpnsablo to watch thorn carefully, any neglect in that respect being likely to result iu rerious loss. . Tbe Shetland ponies are a nice, well bred lot of iheir hind, and arc all descended from imported slock. In 1861 Mr. Sumner, of Grice, Sumner and Co., imported a pony jiillion named Aloe, and subsequently another pear mare cf the same name. These were mated, and the progeny put to a Inter importation named Bonuio Charlie, aud have siuco been FrsJ down from that strain. Abont two years soMr, Grice imported a stallion, aud is now using liimin thcslnd. Tho brcedingof ponies up to the lost couple of years has been a profitable undertaking, the prices realised being frequently greater than could be obtained for largo horses, but owing to their going somewhat out of
    fashion the price Iras fallen, and tlrcre is also s greater difficulty in getting a sale for them. Mr. Grice, however, has been lncky in getting bis ponies fairly woli matched and has thus been enabled to dispose of a number of pairs. He also makes it a rule to sell only thoso he has broken in and can recommend ns thoroughly quiet Remunerative prices are thus obtained, tod as it does not take much to keep the little thing.', (hey are looked upon as profitable. Mr. Grice also owns Crusader, probably the fiuest Arab stallion ever imported to Australia. Ife stands ovor 15 hands in height, with immenso bone nnd subslauco for one of his brood. In color bo is bay, with black points. Ho was

  • 17 Dec 1884: MEETING AT HARKAWAY.
    A public meeting of persons interested in cutting down Buchanan's hill was held in the Harkaway school house on Monday evening last. About fifteen persons were present, Mr. Matthews occupying the chair. The chairman expressed regret at seeing so few persons present and at the apathy displayed by the residents of Harkaway on this important matter, he also referred to the inspection by the Shire Council of the different routes in lieu of Buchanan's hill. The Council considered a deviation through Buchanan's paddock the best, but Mr. Buchanan objected to it, and the Council had an aversion to force a road.—Mr. Anderson thought the best thing to do was to face the hill, and it was for the meeting to decide whether the matter was to he dealt with or not. - Mr. Andrews considered it a matter that affected them individually. They should levy a rate of one shilling per acre on the land in Harkaway that would be benefited by the road as a subscription towards cutting the hill, they should then go to the Council and demand their rights, and if the Council had not sufficient funds a special loan should be demanded. He considered the Council had not acted fairly towards Harkaway, but spent their money on those whose favors they want. The road leading to his own place had had nothing done to it and was in very bad state. They should try and shame the Council. He would suggest that the Berwick Riding Councillors be requested to obtain a statement of the money expended in Harkaway during the last twenty years, as was done in Beaconsfield. They would then see they were entitled to have the hill cut down. Twelve hundred or fifteen hundred pounds should do it. Mr. Fritzlaff wanted to know if £1500 was spent on the hill, should a horse pull half a load up it? His opinion was it would not take a quarter of a load.
    —Mr Hallam was of the same opinion. The engineer's report was most infavorable. He would like to know how much Harkaway would contribute to cutting the hill down ; Hessel's road could be repaired for a deal less:—Mr. Andrews
    said they must stick to the hill; to consider other routes was only to throiw a red herring in their path, and would foil them ...
    A subscription list was then opened, and about £50 promised in the room, A committee was appointed to canvas for subscriptions, and also a deputation; to wait on the Shire Council to urge their claims.
    A vote of thanks to the chairman and the meeting adjourned to that day fortnight.10

  • 17 Aug 1887: A PECULIAR CASE. A WARNING TO FARMERS
    Mr. George Matthews, who recently sold his farm at Harkaway to Smith Bros. and Rising, has been the victim of a piece of seemingly very sharp practice, and in the interests of all farmers we deem it advisable to give publicity to the case. So far as we can learn the particulars are as follow :—Some time ago Mr. Matthews, desiring to sell his farm, put it into the hands of McEwan and Co., of Melbourne, for disposal, the price being stated. Some time after McEwan and Co. introduced a probable purchaser to Mr. Matthews. The place was inspected, and the would-be buyer, expressive of his satisfaction, agreed to purchase at £12 10s. per acre. £100 deposit money was paid to the agents. There the transaction ended, the buyer failing to fulfil within the specified time. McEwan and Co. still held the property for sale, and in process of time introdued the present holders, at a price much below that of the abortive sale. When the sale and transfer to Smith Bros. and Rising had been completed the agents surprised the vendor by including in their account an item for conmmission "in full" on the umcompleted as well as the completed sale. The vendor objected, but an appeal to law showed that he was responsible, and had to pay commission on both sales. This seems to us an unfair law. What is to prevent collusion between agents and dummy buyers? A £10 deposit wound have been as evidential of bona fide intention as £100, and the commission would far exceed the deposit.
    We certainly agree with a writer in the Herald that steps should be taken to have some alteration made in the law relating to sales and commission thereon. Some of our local auctioneers gave it as their opinion, when the appeal to law was made, that the appeal would not be unheld, but that opinion notwithstanding, farmers are at the mercy of agents in whose hands they place their property for disposal, for a sale is held completed, so far as the agent is concerned, when a deposit has been paid, and the vendor must then pay "full" commission whether the transaction goes further or not.12
