THE BUDGET AND DAIRYING.

, The demand for the establishment of herd-testing associations is in excess of the capacity .of the staff of the division available for that purpose says the Primo i\tinistcr, in his Budget. These testing associations, he adds, have demonstrated most remarkably the difference between the profitable and the unprofitable cow, and havo been revelations to even the most skilful of the farmers who are occupied in tko dairy industry. The. pasteurisation of milk will, ' says Sir Joseph Ward, have a most important bearing on the future of the dairying industry. It will assure the provision, of a better quality of our dairy exports, and, further, in view, of the latest scientific knowledge, this pasteurisation assures the maintenance of the health of the farm animal, and very materially with that, the health of the human consumer of meat and milk. In this there is one of the principal means that will ultimately provide control of the white plague, tuberculosis. The Government! according to tho PriniOi Minister, is taking into consideration the question of. turning into profitable account the waste products from our butter and cheese factories, and the result will bo an increased revenue to the dairy farmers of tho Dominion.
