DAIRY PRODUCE PROSPECTS.

MILIv SUPPLY VERY SHORT,

llio milk supply in most quarters is very short at the present time," said u merchant who has his finger on the dairy industry throughout , tho North Island, "much shorter than,at this time last year." The reason for tho shortage in tlie Auckland province is set down to unusually dry weather. In tho other dairying districts the cause is said to bo tho cold weather. A check to the cows at this time of the year is worse than at any other period as, with the winter at hand, tho cows have no chanco of coming back to their milk. "I do not think wo shall bee very much butter made during tho next (wo months," said tho merchant in question, "unless somo of the factories which have dual plants turn from cheese (o butter." So far as prices for tho winter are 'concerned little can be said, as much will depend 011 tho quantity of butter made up to tho end of Slav. Shipments of cheese are still fairly big, but it. hardly looks as though shipping will continue up to the end .rune as was the caso last year. Between Jtny 1 and .Turn? 110' last season ■*0,518 crates of checso were exported to London. "Britannia rules the waves," and the highest quality goods rule the price in the markets. Therefore it is of supreme importance that every Cheese Factory Manager should produce the highest grade Cheese. This can only be achieved lousing appliances that give most satisfactory results. I'or instance, the "Victor" Vat is proclaimed tho most efficient Vat of the period, the sloping bottom of the "Victor" is well made rind is cheapest and best in all ways. Write for particulars.
