The Akitio Freezing Works Committee met on Saturday night, when Mr. Armstrong was elccted chairman, and Mr. W. Neville secretary, pro tern. It was deciclcd that a canvass of the Akitio and Weber districts for shares should,be made, and Mr. J. W. Murray, of PongaroayVßas appoint-fd, ono, or,, tho canvassers'. The territory to' be 'canvassed will be from Porangahau on the north to Waterfalls on the south. Tb« settlers also will be circularised.^ Shares were fixed at £5 each. There was a, strong feeling that tho works should be a k ranch of some. existing company. About £5000 capital was subscribed in the room.
•A resident of Pahiatua has lately invented ah improved vat gate for drawing whey from cheese vats and cream vats. The paterft is a great improvement over the contrivance at present in' use at dairy factories, which, when it leaks, is useless. It can be taken to picccs in an instant for cleaning purposes, ■ and is certain of action. Ihe patent attracted a good deal of attention from dairymen' at tho recent Isational Dairy Show. Orders for his whey and skim-milk weighers have been received recently from Manawatu and Nelson'dairy companies. He has also been invited by the Isew Zealand Executive Committee of the Panama-Pacific Universal Exposition to be hold at San Francisco next year, to exhibit his skim-milk and whey-weighers at the Exhibition.

The following is an extract from a paper read by Mr. P.. M'Comiell at a meeting of the'Waikato Graziers Associtaion: "The-farm' of the future will undoubtedly be small m area, necessitating'the application of the most intensive methods, so that every part of each acre will produce the utmost possible under' the circumstances. In no branch of ; the farming industry is there _ a brighter prospect' than in fat-lamb raising, and Ivieol certain that no other Branch will yield a greater profit if carried out on*; approved intensive lines. Further,-it;jsj'a branch of farming which is pleasant 'as well'as profitable.
