It' has undoubtedly justified its existence in many ways, and the grca't support given to tho company speaks well for its future. No fewer than 150 suppliers are sending their homeseparatod cream to tlhe Maoriland Dairy Co. to-day, and several more suppliers are coming along every day. On an average over half a ton of butter is manufactured daily, and in the height of this season two tons per day will no doubt be reached.

The plant consists of a 25-n.p. boiler and a 4-ton freezer, British Liiide, and the combined churn and worker, , which can. manufacture ono ton of butter in each churning. The Wizard combined pasteuriser, ripener and cooler is said to be the first of its kind _ imported to New Zealand, and it is claimed by the manufacturers that.this machine will manufacture a better butter and save more labour than the old types.

Another branch .of the business is the selling of other produco, such as eggs, bacon, and cheese. Hundreds of dozens of eggs are handled daily. This part of the Jiusiiiess will, however, be enlarged, as the company has just recently added a suitable cool room and storage room for this purpose Tho company has also a machinery department, and is agent for the well-known Beatrice separator, which is claimed to bo the • highest grade separator on the market.

Hodder and Tolley's calf meaP, tho well-known "Tui Brand." If good sales are a criterion or quality, "Tui" must be good, for it is going off well, and the calves like it. The Maoriland.Dairy Company.'can handle with its present machinery another two to three hundred gallons of cream per day. It is only too pleased to show visitors over the factory and plant, and to explain tho methods they work under.
