DAIRYING IN TARANAKI.
BUTTER AND CHEESE INCREASING. "At the present time some of tho factories are making more butter and cheese in Taranaki than they were making this ■ time last year, although tho returns for the season are not up to last year's figures at tin's date." Such was the opinion expressed by a recent visitor to Taranaki. Feed is reported to be abundant, and the opinion is that returns should continuo to increase. The Kaupokonui Company is stated to have netted 7d., f.0.b., Wellington, for its shipment of cheese by tho Tnrakina. It is estimated, says a prominent shipper, that the New Zealand make of butter for the season is still 15 per cent, to 20 per cent, below last season's figures, and that the increase in the cheese mako is from 22 per.cent, to 25 per cent, on last season's figures. Given perfect weather for the balance of the season, it is considered possible to make up a good deal of the liresent shortage. Tn view of the depletion (if the stocks held 'in cold storage last winter, it is considered that much heavier supplies will be retained here this season, but indications are that prices locally | will again be high.
