FACTORIES AND SUPPLIERS.

SYSTEM OF INSPECTION. : ';■ The Elthara Cooperative Dairy Company has-decided to mako regular inEp.ections of the cowsheds and appliances, etc., of .its'suppliers! The directors of_ the company ara now engaged in writing out a plan by which a thorough supervision will be maintained over the milking conditions oiv the different farms, 'lhoy-propose to appoint an 'inspector of their own, whose.business it. will bo to' carefully examine tho' conditions, in.existence in all the milking'sheds from which the company draws' its supplies. Where the conditions are . faulty- the enora will:, be pointed out aud,the proper remedial measures indicated. It- tho supplier shows a willingness to remedy the defects and work hand-in-hand with the company's inspector, and endeavour to meet.his requirements—which will not be unreasonable—ail will bt> we 11... If, lowover, in spite of warnings,' a supplier fails to make reasonable efforts to improve tho milk-shop ' sunouiidin<:>!, then the inspector may feel it his duty to put into operation the provisions of the Dairy Industry' Act, some: of which are fairly drastic. If the experiment prove*-a "success; the "Taraneki Herald" says it would like to see it made compulsory, for Me greatest skill. in the factory cannot altogether overcome the deleterious; effect of /tainted milk' in the manufacture of butter. If the inspectors were called instructors and the Government mado their employment compulsory, finding v perhaps ' a portion" .of their pay, our contemporary considers much good might result to the industry as a whole. -
