The export trade came along well at the beginning of the butter season, and the amount avail- ; able has been, steadily increasing, \intil flt present it is-nearly double the corresponding period of last year. As good j : rains fell, in the dairying districts a few weeks ago, with anything like favourable .weather-the exportable, quantity should ■ be; very large. In olden times nearly every family practised, tho art of chcese-making. But nowadays the business is carried on- by dairy i factories with the aid of "Victor 1 ' Vats. The big profits accruing to cheese-making are largely duo to these excellent Vats, , ' which are altogether different from other (Vats, and bettor-where they aro different. 'Ask Albert J. Parton, Carterton about ' Victor Vats.—Advt. - The supplies to the cheese factories in Queensland have been so large, says the 'Sydney Morning Herald,'' that the factories are seriously considering the question of an export trade. One thing that militates against the export trade in cheese in Australia is the irregularity of supplies. Unlike New Zealand', tho ex-. ' port-trade only begins when all the States supplied; up to that point one Stato supplies others.- The northern i manufacturers have fallen in 'with the .wishes of the trade in regard to the size of cheeses, which have to be of special .weights to' suit the London trade. ' IS SOFT WATER ESSENTIAL TO " "SUCCESS IN DIPPING SHEEP? ! It is very desirable if. possible to uso !' soft rain water for dipping sheep, because ! the- preparation used, especially if it be a powder or paste, mixes much more freely in soft water as compared with hard lime water. Where the latter has un- ' avoidably to be used, a liquid poisonous dip is the most suitable, an excellent mixture for the purpose .being WHITE'S i POISONOUS FLUID. This dip has all the advantages of the usnal arsenical dip • combined with tho easy mixing qualities of the non-poisonous liquid dips. . It is especially a good lamb dip—the smell from it- servos to keop the dreaded fly. from striking tho lamb. Messrs. W. J. and A. F. Douglas, of To Malianga, H. 8., who dip from 30,000 to . 40,000 sheep annually in hard wator, say | of White's Dip:—"We have, used your Sheep Dip for the past five seasons, it proving most satisfactory, the wool coming off the sheep, wonderfully bright and • . free-.from!vermin." This is. only one, of many instances of the success of - ; "WHITE'S" in hard water. Further par- ' ticulars from WM. WHITE, Sole Manuj facturer, Otane. H.B.
