This country is excellent summer country, in the driest seasons it carries a fine green pasture, and during the winter and spring It can, ;it is claimed, be worked to profit, because of the natural drainage through the porous' subsoil.

The big development of the cheese industry in South Taranaki is reflected in the operations of the Egmont Box Company, says ouv special correspondent, foiling the twelve months from July, 1912, to June, 1913, the company manufactured 182,201 butter-boxes and 219,005 cheese T cases, this is a. decrease of 28,414 butter-boxes and an increase of 56.8G9 cheese-cases on the preceding year's figures.

A PUMP SEPARATOR IS THE BEGINNING OF A LARGER BANKING ACCOUNT. Ono of the greatest aids in raising tho percentage of profits on tlhe farm is to out the cost of production. Had we still recourse to the old band-skimming method of winning tho'cream with' a perforsfted scoop, dairy-farming would, not b© worth "powder and shot." Thanks to a generation of progress—and principally to tho ingenious invention known as the "Pump" Separator—dairy-farming is a more profitable game than ever. The won(ierfully clean skimming of the "Pump" is a real "cost-of-production reducer." The official test shows only 0,02 per cent, of fat left in'the skim milk—truly a great performance! -Thus' y'ou will see that from extra butter-fat alone, the "Pump" is a profit-winner far above the average. A "Pump" Separator is yours,_ Mr. Farmer at a saving of pounds in money; while it will make additional profits, at less cost and with greater efficiency'. .Write for particulars of our Free Trial offer.
