VENEERED BUTTER BOXES
VALUE OF WHITE PIXE.
The value of our; white: pino timber . wes hardly realised-until; the development of the dairying industry, when it was found to be the ideal timber for the manufacture - of butter-boxes,- inasmuch as it was a clean, easily-worked wood, which cari'igd , none of its taint to the butter. The value .of -this L timber is increasing,''-asthe/forests Are being laid low. It is learned that there now exists a largo factory in Melbourne, which -is-- engaged in the manufacture of butter-boxes, which have n lining of white pine"veneer,, about' an eighth of an iijch in thickness. White pine' carries a heavy duty in Australia, and it pays to uso it sparingly in the manner mentioned. By using the veneer of v white pine any sort of scrap timber may be knocked up into butter-boxes, which hitherto have had to be made wholly of. white pine in the case of the packing of butler for export.
Hoine separation has come, and mil increase year by year. The reason for this is simple: (1) It gets rid of the carting of the milk and returning of skim milk; (2) It enables the man far back to send hia cream away by rail, if no factory is near j (3) It obviates tho jolting of the now milk over rough roads with its conneqiipnt injury and loss to the farmer; (4) It brings no skim milk to the farm from some other dairy, where the herd may be infected with tuberculosis or other contagious diseases.
